Preston crawls everywhere, and when he is not crawling he is trying to step from toy to toy or coffee table to sofa. He loves to sit on this little chair and play. One problem though is he also like to stand on it, so we have to watch closely. Of course anything he finds goes straight into his mouth, so we have to watch that as well. He is a handful but a joy. Praise God he now sleeps through the night. I read a book (thank you Becca Ross) called 12 Hours of Sleep by 12 Weeks Old by Suzy Giordano. I applied her techniques, basically to get him to eat more during the day at strict 4 hour increments, and after 3 days it worked! It has been 3 weeks now. He also naps from 9-10am in the morning and from 12:00-1:30pm. He has his 8oz bottle four times a day and eats baby food three times. We have had to make a separate cash envelope from our grocery budget for formula and baby food because he is eating so much. Sometimes he will finish a jar and a half of food at one feeding - wow! I can't wait to see him and Hallister wrestle, to see who wins. Preston's hair has grown in pretty good, it is a reddish brown like mine. He has 6 teeth now, 4 on top. He has done the signs for "more", "all done", "milk", and "diaper change." He says dada and has said momma a few times.

Family Update
So on March 29th I told Jonathan there was something wrong with our toilet. He went our bathroom, looked straight at the toilet and tried to diagnose what was wrong. Since I didn't hear him running back into the living room or a whisper of "Oh my gosh" I went back to the bathroom and told him to look at the shower. I had on clothespins Hallister's big brother shirt, a big bro shirt for Preston, and a onesie. Yep, we are expecting little Senn #3.I called the doctor and was disappointed that I could not see her until May 2nd. (They like to see you around 10 weeks.) That was such a long time to keep a secret, plus I was nauseous and snacking more. We wanted to wait until we saw the baby before we started spreading the news.
Thankfully yesterday finally came. I am 10 weeks along today. The baby is due November 27th. At first I was just nauseous at night but then it was morning and night. Now I take my Zofran first thing in the morning and as long as I eat a snack every 2 hours (try to make it healthy) then I don't feel sick. Babies are such miracles and this one definitely is. We were, yet again, surprised. We are so thankful for this little one on the way and our two healthy boys. It is crazy to think we will have a 3 year old, 1 year old, and baby. This Thanksgiving will be especially full of giving thanks.
