It's hard to believe that our little guy is 1 year old!!! I didn't have much time to dwell on the fact since we were so consumed with Christmas.
We had some family members over for dinner & ice cream sundaes to celebrate Preston's birthday!
He went to town on the frosting and barely got in to the actual cupcake before I took it away, afraid that he'd be sick all over the place from the sugar!!
From us, he got a wagon and a new big-kid hooded bath towel. Lame, I know, but what do you get a 1 year old, two days after Christmas, that is the 4th child in a family that has just about every toy??! At least he loves his wagon! ;)

Gpa & Gma Palmer gave him a set of mini sports balls
Gpa & Gma Hamilton game him a little activity cube
Gpa & Gma LeBaron gave him $20 cash, which will go into his bank account, thankyouverymuch!

Biggest gift hits from Christmas:
Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Farm - last minute thought by Santa ended up being a good decision!! He loves opening the gate to crawl through, flipping the light switch up and down and carrying the hen's eggs around.
Elmo Knows Your Name cell phone - You hook this thing up to your computer via USB and program your child's name into the phone so Elmo actually says, "Hello Preston!"
Ball popper - NO! We bought this as a replacement for the one Brooklyn and Blake got for their 1st birthday, 6 years ago. All my kids have loved this toy and I frequently give it as first birthday gifts. Our old one was dying a slow death so I thought we needed a new one for Preston to enjoy. He cries EVERY time we turn the thing on!!!!!! LOL! It is rather loud....
One of my favorite parts of of having a toddler (sniff, sniff) is them learning to say words. This is what Preston can say so far:da
all done
hi
bye bye
signs "more"
signs "all done"
waves bye-bye

He is cruising along furniture, but still won't stand alone. Looks like he's following in his older siblings' footsteps (no pun intended) on being a slow walker!
He can climb the stairs - FAST!!! Took care of that with a new baby gate at the bottom of the stairs. Preston just stands on the first step and shakes the gate now, haha!
He loves being with the big sibs. And getting into their things! haha He's such a Daddy's boy, too! His face just lights up when Matt comes into the room. "Da" is by far his most frequently said word.
He is a GREAT eater and I haven't found one thing he won't eat yet. Bananas aren't his fave, but I recently covered them with crushed Cheerios and he ate them! Still nursing about 6 times a day.
Preston loves to plink on the piano. And I love seeing his stretch his cute fingers up on the keys to play a tune! ♪♫
