Preston the hair stylist

One day we noticed that Darby was starting to get more hair on top of her head. Apparently, this was a call to action for Preston. He ran to her room and got out her hairbrush. The next thing I knew, Darby was in her baby chair and Preston was carefully brushing her hair. I'll try to keep him away from the scissors!

Brother magic

Preston loves "his baby." He has proved to be a wonderful brother and he thinks he has "brother magic" because he's able to calm Darby down when she cries. I can tell she loves him too because she watches him and smiles at the sound of his voice. She loves to be held by him! I'm looking forward to the days when she can be an even better playmate for Pres. I think these two make quite a pair, but I might be a little biased!

Darby's first bath

At about 2 and a half weeks old, Darby's cord stub fell off and we could give her her first bath! As you can see, she wasn't as excited about it as we were! She was pretty angry about being naked and dipped in water! And she really hated being rubbed with lotion! Since then though, she has come to love her baths. She coos and smiles and practices moving her arms and legs!

Catfish

Ty and Preston love to fish together. Preston has proved to be quite the fisherman too! This is his first catfish. They brought it home and ate it! I thought that was a little unnecessary since I hate fish and the house smelled for hours. But the boys assured me I wouldn't get the full affect of the catch unless they brought that whiskered monster home!

Preston at play

Preston has been having a lot of fun trying out different sports over the past few seasons. He has found his true passion, though! Preston loves soccer! He is really enthusiastic and he handles the ball so well! The funniest thing is how the kids run is such a close pack that they knock eachother over all the time. Preston, true to his nature, always stops playing and goes to help his fallen friends, no matter which team they're on. After they're back on they're feet, he puts his hand on their forehead to check for a fever!
