It has begun

Tucker has been very active lately and moving all around the floor by rolling and scooting backwards. Tonight he really started getting up on his knees and was rocking back and forth. It won't be much longer and he will be crawling. 

I'm 10 months and 1 day old today!

It can do that....

Tucker discovered that today he could turn his toy basket on its side and be able to reach the toys that mommy hasn't put out on the floor with him. He sat there for a long time playing with his toys this morning.

I'm a Wheel Watcher

I have learned that I love to watch Wheel of Fortune. When it comes on my eyes are glued to the tv and once the commercials come on I play until the show comes back on and my attention goes right back to the television. Since I have found a new love for Wheel of Fortune my Mommy and Daddy have been able to eat dinner at the table.

Starting Young

Tonight my Daddy was playing his new game, Call of Duty, and I really wanted to help him play it. He wouldn't let me touch the controller but I kept trying to reach it in his hands.

9 Month Check Up

Today we took Tucker for his 9 month check up, a little late, he will be 10 months old on the 28th.

Here are some updates on him

He is 17 lbs 8 oz and almost 27 inches.

He has been making some new noises lately, he can say ba-ba, da-da and ma-ma. He loves to make spitting noises as well. He also says his version of hi when he see's someone.

He enjoys eating baby oatmeal cereal, peaches, bananas, pears, apples, squash and sweet potatoes. He also loves to eat baby mum-mums.

He is working on waving and loves to pat-a-cake with mommy.

He is very ticklish and loves to laugh out loud and once he starts laughing it is hard for him to contain himself. 

Jumping Around

Just spending some time jumping around this morning and making some sounds, ba-ba-ba.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Yesterday was my daddy's birthday. My grandma and grandpa gave him a nice surprise gift. They offered to keep me over night so that mommy and daddy could go on a date night. Here I am with daddy before I headed off to grandma and grandpa's for the night.

Happy Birthday Daddy, I love you! 

Favorite Spot to Hang Out at Home

I love it when my mommy or daddy brings me into their room and puts me on their bed. I love to roll around and am trying to scoot around on the bed too. I enjoy looking at the light/fan but I really like watching my daddy's computer screens (even if they aren't on). 

Lazy Saturday

Today I was very lucky because my daddy had the day off. Since it was a very rainy day we decided that we would just hang out at home. Here are some of the things that I did today.

My morning started out with playing with my puppy that my Granny (Mark's Grandma) got me for Christmas. 

I have gotten pretty good at pressing the different parts of the puppy so that it will make its sounds. 

I love to play on my drum, this is something I do almost every day. I also love to pound on anything around me. 

Mommy still sits close to me because sometimes I still fall over when I am siting by myself. She helps me to push down my giraffe ball popper but I am getting close to being able to do it by myself. 

Proof that my daddy was at home today with me and mommy. It made us both very happy. 

I had lots of fun playing today with my mommy and daddy. I was so worn out that I was asleep by 6:30.

Mama

Yesterday morning as Mama was in the kitchen and Tucker and Daddy were in the den, Mama heard something plain as day that she will never forget. Tucker was playing on the floor and just talking away and then he said MAMA! He has "said" it before when he has been upset but this was the first time that he said it while playing. What an amazing way to start the new year with your 9 month old saying your name for the first time.

Still amazed that I get to be called your Mama, you are such a blessing to me and your daddy.
