Week 23

Dear Tucker,

You are truly our sunshine! You light up every room that you enter! You make everyone smile! You are such a happy boy!:)

We started our week out with wrapping up our visit with the H's in Augusta. We went to church and lunch with them and then headed back home!

You were having fun with Daddy at lunch! 

You sure do love him a lot!


Monday we caught up on sleep from the busy weekend and headed to Bundles of Joy!
You weighed in at 18lbs and 11oz! BIG BOY! :)

Tucker, you are so great when Mommy has to go grocery shopping! You love to look around and listen to me explain everything I'm putting into our cart. And you always get the attention of other shoppers because your so darn cute!

You are starting to push up on your arms.


We stayed at home on Tuesday and it was fun to play and rest. 



Wednesday and Thursday night were kind of rough. I cannot complain because you've slept amazing for 5 and half months. We think your teeth are hurting you at night. You woke up a couple times each night crying.  You weren't hungry or wet, you just wanted to be rocked. I enjoyed rocking you and soothing you. It breaks my heart to see you in pain. And the pain of teething is something that Mommy doesn't remember so I cannot even relate to you sweet boy. 


You've weaned yourself of your third nap. You are now taking two solid naps...1.5-3 hour naps. You are always so happy when you wake up from them. 

You wore your polar bear pjs for the first time this week. Daddy loved polar bears as a little boy and I think he still does. :) So, these pjs are perfect! I can't believe you are 9-12 month clothes. You still wear some 6 month clothes, but you are more comfy in 9-12!

You are getting better at eating your rice cereal! Daddy got really excited and bought you some sweet potato puffs...they are for crawlers, but we tried them with you. You weren't too sure about them. It was fun to try, but we will wait until you've mastered eating solids. :) 

Our nightly routine is one of the best parts of the day! We usually do cereal around 5-5:30. Then we do bath, play, read books, nurse and then rock to sleep by 7-7:15. We listen to the Praise Baby station on Pandora while we do our routine. I love signing to you while we get ready for bed. You smile a lot...I'm not sure if it's because I'm a horrible singer and you think it's funny or you just enjoy my voice! :)



When you are older you are going to ask Mommy and Daddy why we took this picture, but goodness look at your sweet booty! :)

It's crazy that you already know what our iPhones are...well you may not know what they are, but you want them! Daddy has an app on his phone that is Elmo and you LOVE it! you smile when you hear Elmo's voice. 

We don't let you play too long, but it's fun to see your face when Elmo!

You are really wanting to play with Ethel. You've always enjoyed watching her, but now you really want to play. She is so gentle with you. I know when you get a little bit older you will be best friends! :)

Daddy was playing with you one night and then handed you to me...and you spit up right on me. It was too funny/gross! ha!
On that note, your acid reflux is getting better. You only spit up a few times a day now. 


Friday we had lunch with our sweet friends K and A and their cute boys L and R! We didn't take a picture. :( But Mommy and Daddy took pictures of you before we left. 
I hope that smile never fades from your sweet face. And I pray that you always have blessings in your life to smile about. 

After lunch we went to Sam's with Daddy! We always have fun taking you places...you are always so good and smile at people when they speak to you. 

Friday night you tried your first veggie! You tried green beans. Your faces were priceless...we took a video of it. I will have to upload that. 
You did so good though! Such a brave boy!

Saturday morning we did our favorite thing to do in our town...we headed to the Farmer's Market...you've been a bunch and enjoy it. You love walking around and looking at all the sights. Daddy always enjoys getting a BBQ sandwich and Mommy usually gets fresh fruit or a breakfast item. We got some more of our favorite soap...I can't wait to see what your favorite thing will be to get at the Farmers Market. :)

Then you and Mommy went to the local "beach" with some great friends! It's a big lake and they have a beach area. We had so much fun! You loved playing in the water and watching the big boys. :)

Saturday evening we headed to Atlanta to see some great friends, L and A! We enjoyed our visit with them. You were such a good boy! 

Another wonderful week in the life of TJH! Sweet boy, we love you so very much!
