I'm "Standing"

I really enjoy to stand up on mommy and daddy. So this afternoon Mommy decided to try me in my new toy. I loved to be able to "stand" and look at everything around me.

Puppy

Tucker has gotten really good at holding on to things lately. This morning he was holding on to his puppy blankie and talking to it. After a while though he tried to eat the puppy.

Fans

Lately Tucker has discovered the fan. He thinks that it is pretty funny. He laid on the floor today and just smiled and laughed at it.

Time for Change

This past week started the time for change for our family. Mark started his new job at the railroad. This coming week I go back to work. It is going to be very hard to leave my little guy after being home with him for 4 months. I am so thankful that I got to spend so much time with him and got to have lots of special bonding time with just me and him. Both mommy and daddy returning to work is certainly going to be a change for Tucker as he will be spending his days with his grandma and not with us.

And another big change for us...

Since Tucker is over 4 months old we thought it was time to get a changing table for his room. Now we are able to change him in his room instead of using the couch and the coffee table for his diapers and wipes.

4 Month Check Up

Tucker went for his 4 month check up this morning. He has continued to gain weight. He is up to 10 lbs 14 oz. He is growing in length as well. He is 22 inches long. Dr. Ola said that he is right on track for a preemie on the growth chart and was surprised how much he had gained in two weeks. She gave us the best news ever today. She said that Tucker NO LONGER NEEDS HIS MONITOR. She said that he is active enough and doesn't need to be monitored since he hasn't set a real alarm off in over a month when we got the new monitor. By the end of this week the monitor will no longer be in our home.

Big Boy

Tucker has been holding up his head very well for a while now. Today he had some time in the bumbo chair. He lasted a while until he spit up everywhere and that was the end of that today.

You're Okay

My cousin Easton loves to hold me. Last night when he was holding me he kept patting me and saying you're okay. He sure does love me.
