It has started....

Well... we should have known that the only way to get Tucker to start crawling is to bribe him with food. We put a banana in front of him and it got him moving. Only a few small inches, but at least he went forward instead of backwards like he normally does. Check out the video.

Trouble...

I couldn't help but post this picture of Tucker..Andrew and I are really in for it once he gets a little older... there is nothing but trouble on his face here.

Taking naps

Tucker has been napping really well lately, but for some reason this morning he did not want to fall asleep. I noticed that he got very quiet so I went upstairs to check on him and this is what I found....
Apparently he has learned how to go from laying down to sitting up in his crib.

We then headed over to Meredith's house. I watched Robert so she could go to the salon to get a hair cut. Tucker finally decided that he would take a nap once he was in Robert's crib. He looks pretty comfortable. Notice his leg on the bumper pad!

Standing

So Tucker has been standing on his own lately. He lasts about a minute and then his legs kind of give out and he flops down on the floor.

He is concentrating really hard here...

Turkeys!

Today Tucker and I went to Meredith's house.

Reese and Tucker had fun playing in this box!

soon enough...

Playing guitar...


...eating food. His two teeth are so cute.

....laughing and playing.

Pretty soon I will be posting pictures of Tucker crawling. He has been moving from a sitting position to all fours recently and today at my friend Meredith's house he rolled five feet all on his own. Yesterday in his crib he moved from laying down on his back to sitting up. I almost can't believe he is old enough to be doing these things and it's amazing every time he does something new.

Shopping!!

Tucker made it through our shopping trip today. He was a trooper. He must really like my friend Kara, because he smiled and laughed while she was holding him. We got home at 7pm which is when he normally goes to bed and he took a nap in the car so we had a slumber party and he went to sleep really late.. 9pm!

Weekend update

Tucker is finally napping! He has really been struggling with taking his naps lately. He fights them and does not want to sleep. Today we are headed over to Kara and Josh's house and then Kara and I are going to shop at the outlet mall. This is my third time going to the outlets and I am not sick of them yet! Andrew is in Dubuque, Iowa and will be home in a few days. This is his first time back to Dubuque in 12 years.. so should be an interesting trip for him. Other than that, Tucker says 'Ma-ma' on a regular basis which is so cute and can turn himself completely in a circle when he is sitting up. He is really strong and always wants to stand. Everyone keeps saying that he will be walking or crawling very soon. Guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Funny pic

I thought this pic of Tucker was funny..

Halloween Party

Today we went to a brunch and then a Halloween party at the Warren's house. It was fun to see all the babies dressed up in costumes. Getting a picture of all of them looking at the camara was pretty much impossible. They all looked cute!
