World's Worst Blogger!

Wow, I'm embarrassed at how long it has been since my last post! I'm not even sure where to start... Here is a short list of the highlights of the last 6 months:

1) Tucker turned 1 on 3.24.11

2) Adam was promoted to Rig Manager in April

3) We put our house on the market in May

4) We got a visit from Adam's mom

5) We took a trip to Destin, FL in July

6) We have had 2 new nannies since June (pray that this one is a keeper)

7) Adam bought 36 acres of land in Indiana near his mom's house for hunting

8) Tucker started taking classes at the Little Gym

I hope to be a little better at updating from now on, just seemed to get carried away in life. Enjoy the rest of your summers :) If you are reading this close to the time I'm posting please pray for my grandma, who is having open heart surgery as we speak.

February

We've enjoyed having Adam home for the past week and have had what seems like a vacation with me being off for several days. We have done lots of cooking, eating and reading. Tucker has really taken an interest in books lately. He loves to sit on your lap and have you read several books to him in a row. He is also getting around the house VERY well and we have to keep all doors closed or he will quickly disappear.

9 months

How have 9 1/2 months gone by already?? My baby is no baby anymore. He weighs in at just under 25 lbs and is in the 99th percentile for height, weight and head circumference. Our pediatrician even told us he may be bigger than his Daddy. Watch out world! He now has 6 teeth.
While he has been running a fever for the past few days, he is still always on the move. He has started walking from object to object on his own and even stands himslef up from the floor.

Here is a little clip of his walking...

He wants to do it. Look at those arms waving :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We have had a great holiday season this year. Of course, it was Tucker's first Christmas and he caught on to unwrapping presents pretty quickly. Not that he had many to open or anything... I was able to go home to Indiana the week before Christmas for my sister Alicia's wedding. It was beautiful and everyone had a wonderful time. We celebrated Christmas a little early with family there and then made our way back "home" to Texas. I was off on Christmas day, so we got up, opened a few presents and had some breakfast. We were lazy all day and Adam deep-fried a turkey and I made all the fixings. It was a nice change staying in our house all day, compared to running to 3-4 different places on Christmas day.


Tucker is always on the move these days. He is crawling all over the place, standing up to things and "cruising" along the couch, table, chairs, etc. He has taken a step or two on his own. Any day now... His favorite things to get into are Bentley's food and water bowl, the fireplace and the TV stand. We're always on our toes these days :)


Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

On the move

Tucker has been using his walker for a few months now, but he has recently started to chase us around the house at super speed. Here is a little video, he is actually being a little timid due to the camera.

Happy Halloween

We celebrated Halloween a little early this year. Since we were in Indiana earlier this month, we thought Tucker should trick or treat the grandparents. Here he is in his skunk costume.

We enjoyed our trip home since we were able to stay over a week. We drove this time and Tucker did great. I think it helped that we drove overnight :)

We have another trip planned for Thanksgiving. Hope to see everyone then!
