I'm 17 weeks old today. We had an exciting day of traveling and new adventures. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Nedick's house for lunch, and then to Spring Lake to see Uncle Joe's new house. Grandma heard that I love the exersaucer at daycare, so she got me walker! My legs are still too short to make it go, but I LOVE to play with the toys that are attached to the tray. Grandpa Krug might be a little jealous, because I saw my first train today; it runs right by Uncle Joe's house. We took a walk up to the tracks to see it go by. I also saw the beach and the ocean for the first time! I can't wait until it's warmer out so I can play in (and probably eat) the sand.
After our visit with Uncle Joe we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's house, and then back home to Pennsylvania. It was a long day of visiting and driving, so I'm pretty worn out. Weekends fly by so fast.

From Mommy:
Today was special day for me. One year ago I found out I was pregnant, and now I have a beautiful 4 month old baby boy. I remember taking a pregnancy test in the morning because I wanted to be sure that I could drink at Sarah's Bachelorette party that night. I was so surprised to see a positive! John wasn't even home - he was on a train excursion with my dad, Ted, and Poppop Krug. I couldn't tell anyone, because John didn't even know. It was not a surprise pregnancy, but all I could think was "I guess we are going to have to do this now!!" We are so happy and blessed to have Preston in our lives, and, really, today marks the one year anniversary of when he entered our hearts.
The past few days I have learned a few new "Baby Whisperer" tricks. Preston has had a few episodes where he works himself into hysterics and it seems like NOTHING will calm him down. He gets so upset he won't even take a bottle or nurse. I tried a lot of things to get him to calm down, but the thing that worked the best was simply taking him outside to the patio and rocking him outside. He calmed down right away and even feel asleep. I filled John in on that secret, and it worked for him last night when I had to work.
The other trick we figured out it actually pretty silly. On our way home tonight Preston was fussy in the car. Normally he sleeps or calms down when we play him classical music, but that wasn't happening. So joking I asked John if there was a radio station that just played white noise.............. he switched it to a static FM station! It was perfect! Preston calmed down right away and fell asleep. It wasn't great listening for us, but after a few minutes he was fast asleep and we could switch it back to something more entertaining.
