SWW!

It's Wednesday!

  So what if....

• I'm ready for Fall...pumpkins, cider, cooler weather, candy corn...
• I'm currently only really like a couple of things to eat for dinner...my eating habits have changed a lot since having TJH. 
• I'm enjoying my class a lot this year! Fun kids!
• I'm so excited that I've started my LAST semester of grad school! Graduation can't come soon enough!
• I'm excited that I've gotten a lot of TJH's fall/winter clothes at consignment sales...all really nice stuff for WAY cheap! 
• I'm loving my evening walks with my sweet boy! 
• I can't believe my sister started college on Monday! I feel old but am so excited for her!
• I'm really proud of myself for being so brave when dropping TJH off in the church nursery. 
• I'm sad that Teen Mom is almost over...I know it's my one guilty TV pleasure. 

Splish Splash!

Tucker has always loved the bath!

Now that he can sit up and play he enjoys it even more!

Fresh Meat!

This pretty girl starts college today! AH!

I cannot believe that my little sister starts college today! WOW...I feel so old but SO proud!

She is going where I went for my undergrad and I couldn't be more excited for her!

I know she will love it as much or more than I did. 

I can't wait to hear about all of her adventures!

Good luck pretty girl! 

I love you so much and cannot believe you are a college freshmen!

Big boy weekend!

Yet another wonderful weekend in the books!

Nothing too exciting but just living the simple life with my sweet boys! Boy am I lucky!

Friday evening we just hung out at home and I did some work for school after Tucker went to bed. I wanted to enjoy the rest of my weekend and leave time for grad school work so I got some stuff for work done. 

Saturday morning we snuggled in bed. TJH loves playing in Mommy and Daddy's bed. 

Then we got ready for the Farmer's Market...Daddy was playing with you and all of the sudden you had your video monitor cord in your hand. Good thing you were being watched you could have really hurt yourself. That's why we keep it up. ha!

Saturday afternoon we met some great friends for lunch! You sat in a high chair in a restaurant for the first time and LOVED it! You even ate your peas at the restaurant! 

You loved playing with Aunt C and Uncle K!

We rested a little bit in the afternoon! 

And then Saturday evening the Mr went to play tennis and TJH and I headed to a fun 5K event! L who I work with two girls cheer for the high school and it was 5K to raise money for the athletic department. So we headed out to hang out! It was a fun evening!

L and TJH!

After playing and being held he liked hanging out in his stroller!

TJH loved watching LMan run around and I loved talking with K! :)

T, C and the scary Titan! ha!

T and O! 

He loved being held by the girls! 

C and T!

I loved hanging out with my sweet boy too!

Tuck got into bed late but had a blast! :) 

Today Tucker slept in a little bit and then we got him all ready for his first time in the church nursery. We've either been traveling or Tuck has been sick so he hasn't been put in the nursery. I did good and didn't cry! ha! His teachers said he did great and had a lot of fun! Mrs. J and Mr. N made us feel great about leaving him. 

TJH with his first nursery sticker on. :)

He fell asleep on the way home and took a great nap...all that playing wore him out! :)

After nap time we headed out to do some grocery shopping! TJH loved sitting in the buggie!

The rest of the afternoon was filled with playing and getting things ready for the week! :)

Week 28

Dear Tucker,

You are such a fun little boy! We love hearing you say Mama and squeal when we walk into the room! You are so verbal and laugh so hard when Daddy tickles you!

Sunday was spent playing with Aunt LK and K. 

You loved having your aunts here to play with you for the weekend! 

GMama found you this super fun bath toy and we put it in the bathtub this week! It sings and blows bubbles. You sing along with it and love to push the buttons!

And you are really starting to splash! Mommy is usually pretty wet when bath time is all done!

Daddy started back with grad school classes. You get to hang out with Mommy three nights a week while Daddy goes to class. We have a fun little routine! Play, eat, go on a walk, cool down and play, bath, stories, eat and bed. :) 

This outfit is fun because Mommy's school mascot is a tiger!  :)

Daddy is so good about keeping me up to date with what you do while I'm at work. I love the pictures I get and emails with your daily schedule. 

Checking the mail with Daddy! 

You are so active now that when it's time for a bottle or to nurse we have to go somewhere quite with no distractions. 

So this time Daddy took you up to Mommy and Daddy's bed. 

You have made these faces since you were one day old. :) People think you're mad, but you really aren't you just make these faces. ha!

Ethel is always at your side! :)

You think you are such a big boy and like to try to hold your own bottle when you're with Daddy. 

Mommy had a busy week at work. But the afternoon and evening are the best part of my day because they are spent with you!

You are really becoming a good eater of solid foods. 

You love sweet potatoes and bananas the best!

GMama was driving through and stopped for a night of fun with you! Daddy had class and Mommy had curriculum night at school so GMama got to keep you. :) You had so much fun with her!

Bath time is your favorite and add in GMama and it's just the best!

You and GMama having fun before she left.

Shark Week is one of Mommy and Daddy's favorite things on TV. Daddy has let you watch a little this week and you LOVE it.

Daddy said this was your new onesie!  ha! You looked so cute in Daddy's shirt!

You've been teething so much...but still no teeth! We are thinking that any day you will have one. Even when your teeth are hurting you so much you are still a great baby!

Tuck, we are so blessed to have you as our soon. We love you so much and love spending every minute that you are awake 

Nana

There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think of our sweet Nana. 

Two years ago today she went to Heaven. We miss her so very much.

And now that we have TJH in our life we miss her even more. We know that she would have just adored and loved him so very much. We are thankful to know that she is looking down on him all the time. 

I pray daily that I can be more like Nana in the ways of how she prayed for everyone and every thing. She was a very patient and kind woman and truly relied on God for every thing.  

The Mr. and I cannot wait to share stories and memories of sweet Nana to our son Tucker. 

We love you and miss you everyday Nana. 

Teething Fun!

Tucker has been a dream baby! I mean from the get-go! 

Wonderful pregnancy!

Awesome delivery!

Delightful early weeks!

And now even with teething he's great! 

Besides the yucky fevers and few minutes of fussiness he's been so brave!

We've learned that distraction really is key! :) He loves all of his teething toys and anything frozen! Frozen breast milk has been an awesome tool to use too! Teething tablets have been a blessing too!

What worked for your little one with teething?
