Catching Up with Presleigh

The past several months have been filled with wonder, the likes of which most of us rarely witness. As a first time Dad, I'm blown away by the changes that take place right in front of my own eyes. Gross motor skills develop on a regular basis, but suddenly Presleigh goes from picking up the kickball to actually kicking it.

She goes from making barely intelligible sounds and shouts to words like "peeeease" (for "please"), "fsssh" (for fish), "Poppa", catker (cracker), and my favorite "ah-meen", which she says after our prayers before nap time and bedtime.

More recently, as the due date for the twins grows closer, she's made an excellent transition from crib to toddler bed and has been sleeping through the night and naptimes very independently. She's very proud of her attempts to understand potty time, too. She's not batting 1000 yet, but has actually done "pee-pee-in-the-pot-TAY" two or three times now, with some disrobing assistance beforehand. It may be very early for this kind of a feat, but she's been so ready for every other change, we didn't want to discourage her from another leap forward!

In no particular order, here are a few photos I've been able to shoot of her first day at pre-pre-school, wearing Mommy or Papa's shoes, gloves, or other clothes, playing chef with pots and pans, or just chillaxing with her big sister, Bee-bee.







Yes, that is her hair getting much longer and yes, she got it from both Mommy and Papa.


Gotta run, Mommy's having CONTRACTIONS!!!
