A few things...

First off, today is a special day. It is my best friend and P's godmother Robyn's birthday!

I can't really put into words what my friendship with Robyn means to me. We have been friends for 11 years now (wow, we're old) and I love her and her husband JMP with all of my heart. We met in high school at SBA. Growing up with brothers, sometimes I feel like Rob is the sister I never had.

Quick story - the day we brought Preston home from the hospital, I was a hormonal wreck. I couldn't stop crying, was scared out of my mind being home with him, and Brian had to go to Babies R Us off Winchester at rush hour to get me a breast pump leaving me home alone with my 4-day-old baby. (That is a story in and of itself... Brian running frantically through Babies R Us to buy a breast pump, nursing pads, nipple cooling gel, and milk storage bags... can we say Husband/Daddy of the Year?!) The first person in my mind to call during this chaos was Robyn. She picked up the phone, and I couldn't even get a word out I was so hysterical. She just said "I'm on my way." She came blazing over, and without me saying a word, she brought over chicken and rice casserole, unpacked our hospital bags, washed all of P's bottles and pacifiers, organized our living room, and somehow managed to calm me down while Brian was away. She was everything I needed at that moment. She'll be an amazing mom one day. Happy 27th birthday friend!

Also, for a little Preston development update. He is a rolling over machine! As soon as I put him down, he is rolling over. When he was about 2 months old, he started rolling from his tummy to his back. Right after his 3 month birthday, he started rolling over from his back to his tummy, then pops up for tummy time on his own. He will also scoot a little. He isn't even 11 pounds yet, and he can scoot from one end of his playmat to the other end. He already has his arms in the right position for crawling, but his feet are a little behind. The other day, I had him propped up on the Boppy pillow doing tummy time, and much to my surprise, he climbed right over the Boppy onto the playmat and rolled over. I am telling you, this child will be mobile sooner than we think! It's so cool to see him growing and developing. I ordered him a walker that will be here tomorrow (thank you Amazon Mom!) and I cannot wait to see him scooting around in it! The 4 month mark will be fun too, because then we can start giving him rice cereal with a spoon. Seriously, where is the time going?

The best is that he is getting close to really being able to belly laugh.He kind of semi-laughs now. He will smile really big and squeal. Here is a little video I filmed at 6:30 this morning. (Just have to add that pre-baby, I would still be sleeping. By 6:30 this morning, I had already nursed Preston, showered, dressed, put on makeup, blow dried and straightened my hair, and packed his bottles for daycare - my how things change! Babies = sleeplessness) Oh, and excuse Brian's shirtlessness in the video (probably another reason to go private on the blog!)



Look at those plaid shorts... could you just die?

Also, little reminder that we are going private next week, so if you want to keep reading the blog, let me know :) I also still plan on posting about our dining room, and also an upcoming, cross country trip we are taking with little man. He's isn't even 4 months old and we are already jet setting with him. Let me tell you, this kid has the life!
