Monthly Preston: Month four

Weight: 14 pounds, 5 ounces
Length: 24.5 inches
Likes: He's addicted to his paci. He also has a teething toy my mom bought him that he loves. His favorite song is "Roll the Gospel Chariot." It's an instant crying stopper. I've lost my voice a couple of times now singing it over and over and over again in the car to keep him happy. (When you sing it that many times, you'll make the mistake of rolling right over the sinner or stopping to pick up the devil. Neither are good options.) He's continuing the drooling and bringing everything to his mouth. And this month, "Peek-a-boo" became a fun game and not mom and dad being weird and lifting a blanket up and down.
Dislikes: He's started fighting going to sleep, mostly when he's really tired. And when he's really tired and fighting sleep, he becomes an attention hog and whimpers if you're not looking at him. He won't be ignored.
Accomplishments: He's getting grabby with his little hands, holding his paci, teething toy, and anything else he can get his mitts around. He's batting at the toys on his play gym and sitting up in his Bumbo.

Oh, this boy. He gets more and more personality every day. It's so fun to see who he's turning into. This month, Scott traveled for the first time, so Preston was the man of the house for the week. We made it pretty well on our own, FaceTiming with Scott when we could, but there was nothing better than when Scott came home. Preston's little face lit up like a Christmas tree. We were both happy to have daddy back.
