the wonderful adventures of us: TEC.11

What a fun month we've had with Tucker! He continues to bring such life and joy to our family.

His favorite play places are changing as he grows into such an active little man. He spends a lot of his time climbing and diving into pillows on beds and the couch. It's really fun to watch because he squeals with joy and can entertain himself for a long while.

He remains a lover of cars and trucks. He spends a lot of time pushing them all over the floor and under the furniture.

If he has an opportunity to be outside, he's there! He helps me water the flowers and pick weeds. Or maybe he just plays in the dirt. Yep, that's what he enjoys the most.

Tuck is eating everything he can get in his belly. He has hit a growth spurt along with another new tooth! Every time I pick him up it seems like he's put on a few pounds. He eats almost everything we put in front of him. He loved the mexican lasagna I made last night :)

He sleeps so well. We get a solid 12 hours at night from him along with two naps during the day. I'm pretty sure that contributes to his happy smile.

He has taken three solid steps on his own but can't seem to get passed the three. He stands and bounces trying to get himself going. He wants to so bad. He whines and you can see it in his little face that he just wants to take off. He gets very frustrated. It doesn't really slow him down at all. He holds his own with the big kids.

Wrestling comes with territory of being brothers. Tucker prefers it way more than Grey does. You can't see his face here but he's most likely giggling his little heart out. He thinks it's great!

He's mastered the art of a few new things. One of them being the sippy cup which I'm thankful for.

The other is evidenced in the picture below. He loves to open and close doors and frequently the bathroom door is cracked for him to sneak in and pull this little maneuver. If you visit our house, don't be surprised to walk into this when you need to use the restroom.
