Happy Memorial Day!

First of all, Happy Memorial Day to all you veterans and those currently serving. I'm so thankful for all of your bravery and selflessness to fight for our freedoms! We spent the weekend relaxing (Adam and Tucker are both asleep in the chair right now). We did a little shopping and visiting friends.
Adam is heading out to the rig this week, so I am full time single mommy for a few days. Hopefully Tucker thinks it will be fun to be a good boy and not cry ALL of the time:) I will be going back to work in 2 weeks (tear), so we have hired a nanny. She is from Guatemala and has had over a decade of experience as a nanny. She will come for one day this week. Let's hope all goes well and Tucker doesn't give her too hard of a time.

Mom and Aunt Elaine come this weekend for another visit. Can't wait!

Tucker's first trip to Indiana

2 weeks ago, Lish, Jenn and Jake came to Texas to meet Tucker. We had a blast as they celebrated my first Mother's Day with me. The night before they had to leave, Adam decided he would head out to the rig for a few days. Lish and Jenn suggested I just fly home with them. It was decided! Tucker still needed to meet Grandpa and Papaw :) He was an angel on the flights and everyone was so surprised to see us. Here are some pictures from the week:

More family; more fun!

Last week Troy, Amber and Silas came to visit us. It was so great to see them all again...and Tucker got to meet his cousin, Silas :) Silas loved to say "baby" everytime he saw Tucker. So cute! While they were here we enjoyed some time at the park and the zoo.

Can you say humid?? (my hair does)

On Saturday, more visitors to arrive! I love it :) Lish, Jenn and Jake will all be here this weekend to meet their new nephew. Can't wait! Oh, and Tucker is 6 weeks old today. Where does the time go? Love that boy!

Happy boy...for a moment

I managed to catch this one with the camera! Tucker has continued to be pretty fussy, but last week he was smiley for about 15 minutes in the morning. It sure makes all his screaming worth it when he gets like this...however brief it is :)

Amber, Troy and Silas will be here Wednesday to visit for a few days. Tucker will get to meet his cousin Silas. Let's hope the great weather continues, I want to go to the zoo!

Visitors

Last week we were so lucky to have family come and visit. My mom and Brian came for several days and then Adam's mom spent a long weekend with us. They got to love on Tucker and give me a little break from full-time mommy.

Tucker has been a little bit of a fussy baby..so much that I was worried and we took him back to the doctor. He had an upper GI series done and they determined that he has moderate-severe reflux. Poor baby. We started him on medicine and some days it seems to help and other days he is still just as fussy. He is still growing like crazy though.

Here are some pics from the past week:

Tucker's first road trip

This weekend we took Tucker on his first road trip to Toledo Bend, Louisiana. Adam's company has a fishing and golf tournament every year, so we braved it with a 2 week old :) It turned out to be a great weekend with wonderful weather. Tucker was good and it was great for us to get out of the house!

Happy Easter

Tucker got to celebrate his first Easter:) We took him to church for the first time and he slept through the whole service. We spent the rest of the day relaxing at home.

Adam went back to work this week, so Tucker and I are trying to establish a little bit of a routine. Here are some pictures from his 2 weeks of life :)
