In Case You Forgot...: Preston!!

Just a quick post on my little boy!! He is getting to be so big. I can hardly believe he is 9 months.
We went to his 9 month check up (awhile ago) and he is doing great.
My little guy is so squirmy and well it got up with him. On Weds. Sept. 23rd he rolled off the counter in the bathroom (he had just gotten a diaper change) at my parents house. My mom had reached over to grab Lillian forgetting that Preston is so squirmy and just barely missed him. My mom called me at work to tell me what had happened and that he wasn't acting normal. Thankfully Brandon was almost off work so he was able to check on him and make sure it wasn't serious. When I stopped to pick up the kids a couple hours later, I felt there was something definitely wrong with his one leg since he would scream every time I tried to touch or move it. So after a very fun and exciting ER visit complete with x-rays it was determined that he had a buckle fracture in his left femur. They put a soft cast on it there and I scheduled an appt. with an ortho to put the hard cast on Friday morning. We are grateful the break wasn't in his growth plate and that it wasn't displaced. Mommy decided on a blue cast. He only had to wear the cast for 2 weeks. Thank goodness babies grow fast!!
Thankfully he had gotten his cast off the day before so I have an accurate weight. Although he had lost 7 ounces from the time 2 weeks before in ER. But the doctor said that was normal because he had been dragging that thing around where ever he crawled.
Anyway, he weighed 19lbs 14 ounces and was 28 1/2 inches long. Still in the 50%!!!
Don't remember what his head measurements were and they didn't write them on my sheet. But that was in the 50% too.
Preston loves food. I can feed him anything and he will eat it. It is so nice not having a picky eater (one's enough). He loves to crawl around and pull himself up on anything he can reach. He absolutely loves his sister and drives her nuts too. But that's what little brothers do (at least that's what I remember mine doing) LOL!! Lillian loves him too, though but we're still working on the whole sharing thing. Some days are better than others. Preston (or Mr. P) has we call him is going to be my little mischievous child. He puts everything and anything he can find in his mouth. The word NO I think means smile and look as cute as possible so mom will change her mind and then just keep right on doing it. We have found, so far, a red crayon, paper, tissues, the cat's water bowl and their scratch toy, plastic bags, any kind of cord, Lillian's books, and the diaper champ. There are days I feel like I don't have enough places to put all the things he can't play with. But we love him anyway. He is such a happy baby and brings so much joy to our family. He loves to be in our arms and snuggles a little with mommy!

Standing up in his crib!! This is after we lowered the crib all the way!! At least he can't fall out!! LOL

My little guys pretending to use the binkie. He would rather play with it then use it for what it is suppose to be for (and yes I know it's pink it is one of the ones we bought for Lillian but never used.)
