Well Visits x 2
Let me start by saying THANK GOD Dave took off work to go with me to see Dr. Baker today! Whew! Savannah was an angel, but Preston was into everything. Those crazy forms took me forever to fill out and it was twice as hard since Preston was trying to color all over them. Anyway, they both got a clean bill of health! This will probably be the last time I post Savannah's stats online since it's not really nice to talk about a ladies' weight. :)
Preston is holding steady in the head percentile (95-97%), but dropped a bit in height 950-75%) and weight (75-90%). He is a whopping 30.6 lbs and 34.75 inches tall.
Savannah is still (and has been since birth) in the 95-97% for everything. She is 54.4 pounds and 45.25 inches tall.
Whew! No wonder I'm about to die running with them in the stroller!

Happy, Happy Birthday Preston!!
Yesterday our sweet Preston turned TWO!! It's so hard to believe our baby is now officially a toddler. He is so full of energy and life in general that you just about have to laugh when you're around him. He is super, super independent and there isn't much that scares him either. But, he also has a sweet side. If anyone is crying or upset, he is the first one to rush over with one of his own comfort items to give away and with it comes a hug. :) Now that he has started being able to communicate with words, life is amazingly better for us all.
Preston's current favorite things are: balls, trucks, his paci & lovey, monkey, and doggie that he sleeps with . . . and of course "choc choc".
Ready to dig into his birthday cupcake!
Preston we are so thankful for your sweet little life and for all of the joy you add to our home. We are excited to see what God has in store for you this year as you continue to grow. We love you!!!

Happy Father's Day & Happy Anniversary
The Big Pool Party
Preston enjoyed at least 2 pieces of cake and just as many juice boxes!
Thank you to everyone who came and made this such a special day for Savannah and Preston!
Creativity
Take for instance this past Thursday. It was after dinner and I was frantically trying to get the dishes done while Dave was out mowing the yard. I sent the kids upstairs to get ready to take their baths. Now granted it was taking me awhile to wash the dishes, but they weren't alone forever. Suddenly I hear a crash upstairs. I yell up and ask if everything is okay and Savannah assured me it was fine. Then, just a few minutes later, I hear a huge crash, then silence, then sobbing. I ran upstairs to find Savannah sitting on a wet bathroom floor with a bloody lip! Trying to process everything I asked her what happened. Between the screaming and crying she said that she slipped on the floor.
I finally got her calmed down and left the bathroom to pick up the toys in the workout room and found this soaking wet pillow pet crammed behind the treadmill. I went back to the bathroom and asked Savannah to explain why the lamb was soaking wet and hidden on the treadmill. It was then that I figured out exactly what happened. She said "we were playing slip and slide with the pillow, mommy". Apparently she and Preston were using the bath drum set to pour water on the pillow pet and then trying to slip and slide on the bathroom floor!! The first crash, she explained, was Preston falling, but the second time she slipped on the wet floor and hit her lip on the toy basket. Apparently she wasn't in too much pain because she was able to run and hide the evidence before going back to the bathroom to start sobbing. Gotta love the creativity of a 5 year old that turns a pillow pet into a slip and slide.

Summer Has Begun!!
An afternoon snack . . . I guess I shouldn't have left him alone with pudding long enough to check my e-mail since he hasn't made much progress with eating pudding.
.
Today was our first day at the pool! As expected, I had to be in the water and couldn't relax with a magazine (no, I didn't even bring one to read) but at least the kids had a blast. Right now only one local pool is open in the morning so it was super crowded! We did run into several girls from church so at least I had friends to chat with.
About 30 seconds after getting in the pool, Preston fell under! I called the swim instructor as soon as we got home to sign him up for lessons!
