Preston Update

HI, I know it's been ages since I last posted, and I must add more pictures. Here is a photo Melanie took on our girls weekend at Ruakaka.

Preston is 14 months old today, and what a running around mischief maker he is! He loves exploring everything, especially outside, and he's just figured out how to climb up on things (yikes!).

He still does a few baby signs like milk, hat, grapes and a few more, and picks up new ones I teach him really fast, and his vocab is increasing too. He tries really hard to say words and copies us as best he can. Mastered words (well, pretty clear anyway) include Mama, Dada, puss puss, bear, peas, apple (although i think this is his word for fruit), Amber, woof, and he has a pretty good go at saying cheese, biscuit, Preston but they are not quite mastered yet.

He's also mastered all our remotes for the tv/stereo/dvd/xbox/nintendo and turns it on and finds what he wants to watch!

There are finally some teeth - the ones he sprouted over New Year are now fully grown so he has 2 on the bottom and two on the top with another one on the top just sprouted in the last few days. And his hair is starting to thicken out so now he looks like a real little boy.

We still take him to swimming lessons and he loves it, and we go to the Parnell pools during the week on hot days. splashing around is so much fun!

we have heaps of pics to add to flickr so hopefully we'll get onto that soon.
