2 Months Old

Tucker how are you already 2 months old?? You have grown so much. At 5 weeks you started smiling and cooing. Sleeping is getting much better. You're sleeping 4-5 hours at night. In fact last night you only woke up one time to eat. We have recently found out you're lactose intolerant, but the Doctor thinks you will grow out of this. I pray you do! I have been on a non-dairy diet and it's so hard to find food without Milk products. 


      Weighed: 11 lbs 13 oz. (50-75%)
      Length:  23" (50-75%)
      FOC: 38.5cm (25%) 


You're eating 4-6 Oz every 2 hours. I just love your chubby cheeks and chunky little thighs. I've already packed up all your newborn clothes and some 0-3 months that ran small. 

1 month old!

Sweet baby Tucker I can't believe you are already a month old today on Easter Sunday. You are a happy baby who likes to eat, eat & eat. You wake up 3-4 times a night. All night long you grunt and make lots of funny noises. What a gassy boy you are too! Your dad and I laugh in the middle of the night. Every time I say your sister Karter's name you smile. I'm sure it's because you only heard it 30 times a day while still in my belly :)  You sleep best in bed next to mommy of course. We are so blessed to have you and thank God every night in my prayers for blessing us with healthy baby boy. 


A few stats on growth:
The day you came home from the hospital you weighed 6 pounds 15 oz. At your one week appointment you were still 21 inches long, but weighed 7 pounds 2 oz and at your 2 week appointment you were 8 pounds. 

 Tucker is say "Peace" here

We are so in love and feel very blessed to have a healthy boy! Here are a few photos from delivery day and going home.

Christmas 2011

We had a great low key Christmas this year. I love being laid back and not rushing from here to there. I finished all my Christmas Shopping before the big crowds and had time to sit back and relax. It was nice not having to take the girls to school, cheer, dance/tap. The taxi driver (myself) actually got a much needed break.

All Karter asked for Christmas from Santa was an American Girl Doll. Now that Madison is older, shopping for her is not as fun. Clothes, shoes & more clothes... Nothing too exciting there. I'm glad 2011 is behind us and starting off fresh for a new year. Praying for a healthy year for all my family!

Halloween 2011

We had a great time Halloween night. Since it was a school night we didn't get to do our annual Halloween party, but still had a great time. Karter wanted to be a Vampire. She had two costumes. I had her wear the first one the night we tried to go to Storybook Forrest, but after an hour and 15 minutes waiting in line we decided to go have dinner instead. Here are a few pics from Monday night. Karter and the neighborhood kids ran to every house. I walked only two streets with them and then headed back to the house to pass out candy. I put a strobe light that plays thunder & lightning in the background. All the trick or treaters loved it. Madison wanted to trick or treat with her friends, but I have a few pictures from the costume party she went to. 

Karter is 5!

Happy Birthday baby girl! I still can't believe you are 5 years old. You are a busy busy girl. We celebrated your birthday this past Saturday at Bouncin Craze. Everyone had a great time and of course you got lots of Barbie stuff (oh joy). This next weekend we get to celebrate sissy's 14th Birthday. It's still crazy that you both share your birthdays. 

Disney World June 2011

We had a great time this past week in Disney. Even though it was a little toasty and lots of walking, the girls had so much fun. Karter loved the character dinners and Madison enjoyed the rides. Her favorite was Ellen ride at Epcot. I enjoyed all the 3D shows -Bugs Life, Muppets 3D, Mickey Mouse, & Finding Nemo. We would like to go again and visit Sea World & Universal Studios.

Friday heading home our flight was cancelled due to mechanical problems. We got on the later flight and I drove that evening to Lake Texoma for "Sisters Weekend". Lots of laughs and sun! I can't wait for next year. The lake water was perfect and the company was even better. It was amazing how we stayed up late both nights and still got up before 8am. I love just sitting outside on the back patio telling stories. Lisa and I of course made some entertainment Saturday night by Karaoke and my dancing skills, ha! I miss the girls at work already and so glad to have them in my life.
