Preston Update

Oops - it's been a month since I last wrote! Preston and Amber are still best buddies. Last weekend we fed the ducks in the domain and P & A ran around chasing each other and squealing with laughter. Then that night both our families went out for dinner together and P & A sat next to each other at the table in their highchairs, and they spent the evening again squealing with laughter and playing with each other (playing with Preston's bear, feeding each other, stealing their food, and generally being silly), and making us and people at neighbouring tables laugh too. They are so funny together!

We are going to the zoo for the first time this weekend, so hopefully Preston enjoys that. It is a Brownie outing, and they love it when he joins in with us.

Preston's vocabulary is growing every day - he really tries to copy things we say and asks for 'labels' for items he doesn't know. We have taught him 'please' and 'thank-you' but he doesn't often say them on demand - he saves them for when he REALLY wants something, and he says 'Mama, mor pease'.

He is very climby and gets up on the couch easily (and today managed to climb out of his highchair and onto the table, naughty boy), and runs around very fast. He is also very affectionate and loves hugs and kisses with us, although his poor bears are the main target for extreme kissing...

We love Preston and he is so much fun at the moment! He is a real little boy now, no longer a baby, and he always has such a mischievous look on his face...usually because he's plotting something.

No plans for number 2 yet, so don't ask :)
