All About Preston

Brett & Rachel are here! We are so excited. We were up until midnight talking to them.

Mike spent a lot of time with Preston 'juicing' up our elefun. Preston loves screwdrivers and batteries. Every mom wants to see their toddler being taught how to cut wires. He is a little Mike.

Grinchy Haircuts

***Note: This post was accidently posted on Preston's account. If anyone reads Preston's blog (which I never work on) and our family blog...sorry about the mess up. I should just delete this. I'm not going to. Now I don't have to look at Rachel's timer and see that I haven't posted for a year. :) By the way, after Preston's haircut, we went to 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. It was good, but Mike's hamburgers are much better.***

We got our grinch pictures. I love it! Preston is wondering if Bro. Doan knows he is green. Mike is a floating head. Jorja is board. Stockton is concentrating on bending so we can see Maysen - who is photogenic as usual. My friend, April, spent the entire party taking pictures. She sure did a great job. Preston got a haircut today. If I were my mom, I would have learned how to cut hair by myself. But I'm not. I'm a chicken. Plus, I don't do a good job. Just ask my brothers Brett and Mike. Preston was terrified. He had his head between his knees for the first part of the haircut. He screamed/cried the entire time. And don't even think about bringing out the clippers!

A Week of Firsts

I am now five months old. My mom decided it was finally time to get my picture taken. The picture lady kept trying to get me to smile. She even asked me if there was anything I like to smile at. I was thinking, "Certainly not someone clicking their tongue with a big black object in front of their face". For the record, I smile A LOT. Mostly when I see Maysen or my mom. They're pretty darn cool.

I was also in my first car accident this week. My mom got hit from behind in downtown Atlanta. Some joker was reaching for his cell phone. I wasn't too happy at first, but then mom held me outside while we waited for the police. I got to watch a whole lot of cars get on the 75/85 freeway. That was exciting! I don't know who was the genius to decide to combine two freeways in Atlanta. It's like the roads make a big X. It sure makes traffic fun!

Washington DC

I had a fun trip to Washington DC!

Okay, I didn't sleep ALL the time.

I am 3 months old!

Wow! I am three months old already! I have had lots of fun. I got to fly on an airplane when I was 1 month old. We went to Utah. There was snow there! Too cold for me though. I liked to stay inside.

I have learned to smile now. I have my mom completely wrapped around my tiny little finger. I don't like my crib at all! But that's okay, I've learned if I scream, Mom holds me all night long!

Blessing Day!

It's my blessing day! I'm only 2 1/2 weeks old, and already we have had my baby blessing! My mom and dad decided to bless me so early because my Papa was here! (He thought he would be able to be here for my birth, but I didn't want to wait that long!)
Isn't Stockton the coolest?

My sisters sure love me! I was blessed in the same outfit that Stockton and my dad were blessed in! My mom thought that was pretty cool!

Maysen, Jorja and me!

Enough all ready!

Dad has had enough....

Me and my Papa!

My First Two Weeks

Happy Thanksgiving! Christmas here we come!!!!

Here I Am!

I was born November 10, 2006. It seems to be a good birthday. I was supposed to be born in December. Daddy got home from Boston just in time. Everyone is excited that I am a boy! Especially Stockton. I weighed 6 lbs. 9 oz. and I was 19 1/2 inches long. I came home from the hospital one day after my mom. I like my new house, but I spend all my time under and over bright lights because my skin is too yellow. Gets pretty boring. My mommy keeps taking me to get my foot pricked. Boy does that hurt! The doctor wants me to see a pediatric cardiologist, they want to look at my heart. I have 2 ventricles that are too close together. It shouldn't cause any problems, they just want a closer look.

My mom and dad drove me crazy because they couldn't decide what to call me! My mom kept calling me Stockton! Today they finally decided on a name! Preston Hirschi Smith ~ and I am perfect!
