Grandpa Kyle visited this week also.

Grandpa and Mommy took Preston to his first basketball game- the North Butler Girls were playing in the state bball tourney. Preston was on his best behavior and loved looking at all the lights and jumbo TVs in the arena.

Here is Preston playing some dinner music on his piano for Grandpa the night before the game.

Swimming at the Hotel

Last weekend, Grandpa and Grandma Eichmeier, Aunt Kristi and Uncle Shawn, and Cousins Keegan, Haley, Zach, and Grant, came to our house to put in our new kitchen countertop and sink. We got a hotel room at Adventureland Inn for Saturday night so the kids could swim and the boys could work with no interruptions! They didn't have time to put the new bathtub in, but Shawn fixed it so we can now take baths in our tub. Our kitchen looks awesome and Preston is so excited to have a bathtub he can splash around in! Thanks Everyone!

All the kids: Keegan, Preston, Haley, Grant, and Zach
Grandma Sue and Grandpa Larry bought Preston this floatie to use

Mommy was definitely not ready to get into a swimsuit just yet, but she decided to get into the water with Preston for awhile.

When Daddy joined us after working on the kitchen, there were too many people in the pool for Preston. He did not like getting splashed!

He decided observing out of the water was better at this point

Pretty blue eyes.....and double (or maybe triple) chin :)

Preston's 1st time swimming with Aunt Kristi and his cousins

Video for the Cousins:

Keegan, Haley, and Zach enjoyed the pool with Uncle Scott because he could throw them really high in the air!

5 months old

I turned 5 months old over the weekend! It is hard to believe I have been here that long..time has gone by so fast and I have learned so many new things! Mommy and Daddy can't remember what they did before me! Here are just some pics of me over the last couple of weeks.

First, our new (to us) Jeep Compass! Daddy rocking me to sleep with my favorite blankey.
Relaxing in the hot tub :)

I'm getting a little hungry........
Mommy is trying to make me practice rolling over...

So I will just laugh at her!

Dang, she is making me do tummy time too! I do love to look at myself though.

I am getting so big Mommy can barely hold me in this!

Talking to my Valentine cow that Grandpa Kyle gave me

Reading my book

Turning the page......

I wonder if Adam will notice if I take his sandwich?! It looks so much better than those veggies they are feeding me!

Don't forget to eat your veggies!

Here are some pics and videos of Preston eating his first veggies. He has now tried all 5 veggies and some he is more fond of than others. He likes green beans, carrots, and sweet potatoes. He is not sure yet about peas and squash, it depends on the day.

His very first veggie experience: Squash This is just a funny picture- one morning he accidentally put cereal in his eye.

"Give peas a chance!"

The next day: "Maybe I don't like peas."

Still not sure about peas

Squash gives me the shivers!



After a green bean meal....yum!

Preston the Composer

Preston was still battling his cold, so Mommy decided to call the doctor on Thursday. They told us that a cold is only supposed to last 7-10 days and since it had been that long, we should take Preston in. We took Preston to the doctor that night and the doctor decided that he had a little ear infection (after she cleaned out lots of wax from his ears- which he really hated!). So- now Preston is on antibiotics for the next 10 days. He has still been in a relatively good mood though so that is nice.

Preston's new thing is to play his piano on his activity center. He can sit there forever and play. He literally sat there for an hour one day jammin' out. It got a little old hearing the same thing over and over, but we are glad that he is doing new things every day!

Video for Aunt Molly

Since Aunt Molly is in Peru, she decided to get Preston a present for every month she would be gone (until June). Here is Preston opening up his February present. Thanks Aunt Molly!

Fun Times with Daddy

Preston thinks Daddy is just so silly! Mommy likes to try and catch it on video.

Preston loves to do sit-ups. He has a long way to go before he gets rid of his belly though :)
