Tucker the Great

I cannot begin to describe the joy that this baby boy brings. To say that we enjoy him is an understatement. Tucker wakes up in the morning with a smile on his face, he smiles at me while he's eating, he smiles and giggles when no one is giving him full attention, he giggles when he gets his diaper changed, he laughs at grey, he laughs at daddy, he smiles at his toys. Needless to say, we have a very happy baby on our hands.

He makes for an easy baby. He is technically "sleeping through the night" in terms of hours he will sleep. There have been a few nights he has slept from 8:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. More consistently, he eats around 8-8:30 p.m. and then falls asleep for the night. He will sleep until 5ish, wake up and eat, and then sleep again until 8:30 or so. He gets up for another feeding and lots of play time with Grey and I. He usually swings while I clean up the kitchen from breakfast and takes a catnap. He's up again to play and giggle. He is beginning to be very interested in patterns and sounds so we are pulling out some fun toys. (I'm a sucker for baby toys so we have lots) He eats again around 10:30-11, one more catnap, then playtime before his long afternoon nap. He eats around 1ish and then is off to sleep for at least 3 hours, if not 4! I love the schedule he has put himself on :)

I am trying to savor in the sweetest of moments that will and are fleeing so quickly. I am snuggling him close any time I can. (which works out well because he is a snuggle bomb) I am talking to him about things that matter because I want him to understand His Father's love as soon as his mind can grasp it.

These first 12 weeks of tuck's life have flown by. They have been challenging (that could be due to a two year old in the mix) but full of so much joy adding this new personality to our family. I love watching him constantly grow and change and am so hopeful of the man God has created him to be!
