Da da da da da

Well spring is almost here and we are sooooo ready for it. We are keeping busy at the Nelson Home with visits from Grammy, Uncle Kevin, Aunt M, and Ava as well as Nana and Aunt Lindsey will be with us this week! We are ready for some outdoor fun. Preston has been babbling a lot. I am working on the ma ma ma but he mostly sticks to da da da and ba ba ba. Just getting that much closer to saying Daddy first! He's got a pretty wonderful daddy so I think I will be fine with that. Here are some new pictures.

First mail addressed to Preston Nelson!

First Trip to the Park

Preston and I enjoyed the almost 60 degree weather yesterday! We went to the park and got to go on the swings. It was so much fun!

Life Rearranged!

Last night Jeremy and I rearranged the living room furniture to accommodate our new desk. Why are we rearranging furniture? Because we are giving up our office to make a playroom for Preston and any child who may be joining him (at a later date). We opted to have one desk and computer in the living room rather than 1000 toys! It took us two hours! We had it arranged at least 4 times. My how our lives have changed. We thought back to when we first met and when we bought this house. We never thought we would be spending a Friday evening trying to cram furniture into our rather big living room and saying we wished we had more room!
I am certainly not complaining. It just amazes me how much my life has changed! In this troubled economy I can honestly say that our family is truly blessed. My wonderful husband provides for his family very well and is able to support me through 3 1/2 years of school. I get to finish school in December and start a job doing something I love! My son is healthy and has two rooms in his home! We have a lot and we are fortunate. But after two hours of furniture moving and "what if we put this here and that there?" We figured out that our lives, though wonderful, now revolve around a precious little boy that we never could have imagined we'd love this much!
I have posted two pictures the first one is our final rearrangement. The last one is the color of the new toy room. I'll post pics when it's done!

Note the new desk in the right hand corner..

Bright green! We are going to paint a big magnetic chalk board on one wall. Way cool! He'll probably just drag everything into the living room but at least we'll have a place for the multiplying toys!

8 Months!

8 months have come and gone! We can't believe that in just 4 short months Preston will have his first birthday! It just doesn't seem possible. Everyday Preston is developing new skills. He now has 1/2 of a tooth. I say that because the tooth broke the gums two weeks ago and still hasn't fully come up. In that two weeks no other teeth have joined his half tooth! Nothing this boy does comes easy! He still does not hold his own bottle (we know he can he just doesn't) but Mommy doesn't mind! He is growing and growing and his hair has a few less bald spots! What fun we are having watching him grow. We really can't wait for summer when we can go swimming and meet up with our friends! Preston has quite the group of playmates to grow up with. Here are some pictures of some accomplishments and stuff he likes to do.
