Tucker is 7 months old-4/30/12

 

What a week! Today Tucker turned 7 months old and tomorrow Summer turns 3! Let’s start with Tucker’s post and then soon you will see a post for Summer. She is in these pictures in a birthday outfit. We celebrated her birthday at Mommy and Me today.

On to sweet Tucker! Another month!!! He continues to change and brighten our lives daily! He is trying desperately to crawl and Summer shows him all the time how to do it. He has strong arms and legs and pulls himself up. I will have to admit that I often set him back on his bottom when he tries to crawl. :) I know what will happen when he crawls. Summer doesn’t. Plus I want to keep him a baby longer. I rushed all milestones with Summer (as most of us do with our first) and want to take my time with Tucker.

His “talking” has changed and there are more clear vowel sounds and I am sure I have heard a Dada in there. I try to get him to say Mama and Summer tries to get him to say Summer. All so sweet!

He is still super cuddly and loves his Daddy so much! His face lights up when he sees Tom and Tucker is so responsive to him. I love it!

Tucker really knows his name. I love how he turns when we say it.

On and on I could go about our Lil guy! I know there’s more but it’s time to move on! Enjoy his monthly pictures! I owe you tons from this past month!

 

7 months old today! Getting so long!

Summer wanted to join in on the photo fun!

 

Here’s how you crawl Tucker!

The puppy photos…so many cute ones! I couldn’t choose!

 

Summer got her bunny and lined up everyone to get a group shot!

Tucker-7 months, and Summer one day shy of 3! We love you both sooooo much!!!!

Maryland Part 4 (last one)-March 24th and 25th

 

Tom had to leave from working in MD to another show up North on Thursday so the kids and I stayed at Aunt Paula’s Thursday night and then with the Sawyer Family for the rest of our trip! Thanks everyone for always being so accommodating!

On Saturday we woke up and decided to have a more low key day! We had been on the go all week and the kids (and I) were tired! It was rainy and a perfect day for Chic-fil-a for lunch. We got to see Jessica and Aubrey again!

Then Gina and her 2 kids, Hailey (3) and Anthony (11 months) came over for a pizza dinner. Easy and fun! I hadn’t met Anthony yet (we weren’t able to get together for my last visit in June) so that was loads of fun!

Sunday we headed back to GA! Much quicker trip this time! Thank goodness!

Lunch at Chic-fil-a! Tucker, Leah and Aubrey

Sadie enjoying her lunch!

Summer saying goodbye to Jessica and Aubrey!

Fun at the Sawyer house!

Tucker and Aunt Colleen! He was giggling!

Gina, Hailey and Anthony came to visit! Summer and Hailey liked the piano. Anthony wanted to play with Tucker! It was so good to see Gina and Hailey again and meet Anthony! He was on the move.

What a wonderful visit to Maryland! We got to see so many friends and family and it really meant a lot!

And as I have been working on these blog posts I kept saying, “Don’t be sad that it is over. Be happy that it happened.” Love all of you!!! Thanks for a memorable visit!!

Maryland Visit Part 3-Friday March 23rd

Day 5 proved to be another busy, busy day in Maryland! We left Hagerstown with Sarah and Maddy following us to go back to Baltimore to meet up with Colleen, Leah and Sadie at Port Discovery for the day. Then after that we headed to Alyssa’s house for a cook out!

The fun continues…..

Port Discovery-Summer, Sadie (age 3) and Summer again.

Maddy and Leah (age 7)

Port Discovery is a Children’s Museum in Baltimore with many, many different hands on things to do. Here are the girls making a craft! And look-Tucker is awake and out of his car seat!!! Lucky boy! Thanks Aunt Sarah!

Grocery store fun!

Lunch in the Inner Harbor!

Back to Port Discovery! They had a Clifford display that the kids loved!

Summer knows Charley and Charley’s Dad from her books and was so excited to see them! Summer was T-bone and Sadie was Clifford!

Cooking in the diner!

Back to sleep! One last stop…the water room! Port Discovery was a lot of fun!

Leah and Jason had a father daughter dance that night. Leah looks so grown up!

While Leah went to the dance with Jason Colleen, Sadie, Summer, Tucker and I went to Alyssa’s for a cook out! We met up with Candice (holding Tucker), Alyssa (holding Kennedy, whom it was my first time to meet.) Kennedy’s Dada, Rich is below. As are Michaela and Tony.

Michaela (Candice and Tony’s daughter 2 1/2) loved Tucker! There’s Kennedy (Alyssa’s and Rich’s baby).

Tony holding Tucker and Summer and Michaela enjoying the chairs.

Sadie and Summer

Tucker and Kennedy are only 10 days apart! Kennedy is 10 days older. Yes, Tucker is lifting her dress to chew on it. It was so fun to meet Kennedy and have our babies together!

Thanks for having us over Alyssa, Rich and Kennedy. So good to see you Candice, Tony and Michaela!! Miss you!
