Holiday Traditions Festival

Another holiday tradition is the opening of gifts. We do ours a little early since we have a blended family. Jeremy usually spends Christmas with his dad, and Christopher and Anthony will be with their mom. So we opened a couple gifts Thursday night, and the rest were opened Friday morning.

Happy 1st Birthday, Preston!

I had already posted how I found out I was pregnant with Preston in this post, but I never really told his birth story.

He Pulled Up To Stand!

While I was typing my last post, Preston pulled himself up to stand in his playpen. I was so excited. I eased off the couch, hoping not to startle him causing him to fall, and tip toed to get my camera. The pictures above are what I caught. He stood there for a good [...]

Ramblings of a Blogging Momma

He’s a Crawler!!!

Last night, I put Preston down on the floor and he crawled! I ran to grab my camera and this is what I got:

After this, he was crawling all over the place. He crawled from the living room down the hall and into Jeremy’s room. He’s a crawling pro [...]
