It looks like they will be here a few more days. The paper took longer than they thought to get off. Can you believe how different it looks already? I'll do a full post on it when they are through.
So, the title of this post is incredibly fitting. We thought it was a big week because Preston said his first word. Well, two more huge things happened this week that I wanted to document.
Tuesday night, Brian had a work dinner so he got home around 7:30. I was putting Preston to bed in his crib, and Brian walked in P's room. He said "Hey buddy! I missed you." Preston looked up at him and goes "hey daddy". Um.... WHAT?!?!?! We were both in shock. I mean, he said like he had said it a thousand times. Brian and I proceeded to analyze it for like an hour. Was he just babbling and it sounded like that? But he was sure of himself and the timing was perfect! Who knows!
The other major development happened Wednesday night. P was not really having bedtime, so we were letting him crawl all over his bedroom to get some of his energy out. Brian pulled out a Dr. Seuss book and started reading to him. Out of nowhere, Preston stood up and took 4 good steps! I considered it his "first steps" because he was very steady on his feet, and really went a decent distance across the rug in his room. He was very sure of himself. I cried. Brian did too, but only because he was reading the book and not looking at his son, who was taking his first steps :) I tried to yell for Brian to look up, but I was so shocked that nothing came out! We have seen him take steps before, but NOTHING like this! It was so cool. Maybe he'll really be moving by Christmas! Go Preston!! :)
Here is one of him taking a few steps... I gotta be a proud mom and say that he walks much better than this, but catching it on camera is HARD!
Of course, walking doesn't come without a serious casualty!
He walked right into the TV stand in the playroom. There was a little blood, but other than that, he should be fine. He is a tough kid :)
We had a fun weekend. Friday night we had my work Christmas party. Every year, our boss cooks an amazing dinner for us, and all of us and our husbands eat dinner together. We look forward to it every year, and she always throws such a great party for us. It was fun to have a night away from home. We stayed out of the house Saturday since the workers were here, and headed out to the Germantown Christmas Parade. It was cute, just COLD. The parade goes by my aunt and uncle's house, so it was nice to have a place to park :) We will definitely go again next year. We worked in the yard, cooked, and just had a low key Sunday. My dad and Brian worked on our bathroom upstairs, as we have been having some plumbing issues. Thankfully, they got them fixed.
Back to the grind tomorrow!
