Ma.....ma....ma..mama????

You read the title correct!! Preston said MAMA!!! His FIRST "actual" word!!! (we think he says something that sounds like "hi" sometimes, but not really....)

Preston said MAMA on April 20th while he was "helping" mommy cook dinner in the kitchen! (he was playing with the bowls and things that he was pulling out of the cabinets) It was SO CUTE! He was finally doing the sounds that they are "supposed" to make in a row like, bababa...
(Which we had just got back from our NICU follow-up visit on April 19th and I was saying no, he doesn't really do that yet???) Well, he DID the NEXT day!!! ANd it was mamamamama...then put together, and said MAMA!!! He just made my week!!!! What a great surprise and such a BIG month for our little man! AND.......not only did he have his 1 year birthday this month and say MAMA, but I failed to forget another BIG thing.....Preston started crawling on his hands and knees for the first time 2 days before his birthday!!!! And he has been doing it ever since!!!!
What a growing boy we have!

Also, I have added pictures from the first time that Preston has been in a "pool."
(We went to the beach last year with my family, but it was when Preston had just been released from the hospital and he was still so little and I was just so scared to put him in anything that other poeple had been in and germs....so he never experienced any of it last year)

He got lots of fun new swimsuits and a blowup pool for his birthday and it was just warm enough to try it out! So we did! Preston has always loved baths, so I just knew that he would love the pool too!!
