Well I woke at 1 this morning with a stomach bug, so I've been able to spend the day in catching up on sleep, wrapping, and blogging. In fear that Tucker would catch my bug, we shipped him off to Ada for the day.
A week ago Sunday Tucker took his first steps. He can walk about 10-15 steps before sitting down. It's so cute to watch him walk and then cheer for himself.
We celebrated Christmas Saturday in OKC at my grandparents' apartment. We all had a great time and ate way too much. Tucker enjoyed opening gifts so much that I can hardly wait to see him over the next few days.
Saturday evening, Matt suprised me with an early Christmas gift...a new camera. I'm still learning how to use it and will post some pictures when I get some decent ones. I love it though!

Santa!
Last year, we waited for over an hour for our two month old son to see Santa. Being the great baby that he was, he smiled and we got a great picture. Fast forward to this year...I knew he didn't have the patience to stand in line to see Santa, so we went to see him at Homer this morning. Tucker got a new hairdo last night, I had his handsome outfit, and the Santa was a great one. Tucker screamed continuously the entire time he sat on Santa's sleigh. M&Ms didn't even help. The photographer suggested we just skip the picture, but I said wanted a picture so I propped him back on Santa's lap and hoped for the best. Well he is screaming in the picture, but Santa is kissing him on the head. So in my opinion, it still turned out great! Better luck next year.

Busy
As the holidays quickly approach, I'm reminded about how busy we get at this time of year. Matt took the week off last week, so we enjoyed lots of family time. We even got a little shopping trip to Tulsa in. Thanksgiving was a huge hit for Tucker. He loved the turkey and dressing. The cutest memory was he and Sam sitting next to each other in their high chairs stealing food off of each other trays and yelling "no, no" at each other.
I'm also excited about wrapping up another semester. My classes this semester seems to be consuming SO much of my time. If I ever mention getting another degree, please hit me! If everything goes as planned, I should finish at the end of this summer.
Well I have many things to finish during Tucker's nap, so a quick catch-up on his newly learned things...Tucker is almost walking. He can take a couple of steps by himself before realizing that he isn't holding on to someone. He can walk very well holding onto one hand now. He winks (blinks) at everyone as his way of telling them bye. He also has learned to climb. He got on the couch the other night and cheered for himself. This morning I found him climbing on the fireplace! Oh, boy! Another thing to block off from him.
