Our weekend in review

On Thursday, we went to Coweta to watch Uncle Derick play in the baseball playoffs. Tuck took his ball, golf club, and bat. He had such a good time watching the game and playing baseball and golf behind the bleachers. While playing baseball, he would squat down and say "hey batter, batter". Too cute! His Papa worked with him on holding the bat and the club with two hands.

On Friday evening we traveled to Ada to spend time with both families for Mother's Day. We started Friday with supper at Polos with Gran, Papa D, Derick, and Great-Grandma Cannon. Afterwards, we went to the Eidson house where Tucker worked on his tackling skills with Uncle Derick.

On Saturday, we celebrated with the Fuller clan. Tucker had a great time playing with his cousin Sam. They ran many, many laps around Nan and Pa's house. We ate at Polos again and spent some time playing at Lazer Zone. Tucker especially liked admiring his cousin "Baby Ack".

Here's my Mother's Day gift with my favorite little guy eating at it!

On Sunday, we celebrated Mother's Day in McAlester. Matt and Tuck surprised me with a picture of them with the mat painted by the little guy. It is so sweet! I had the week off from children's church, so we let Tuck come to big church for the music. He ended up snuggling up with me and falling asleep, so he got to stay for the whole service. It was so sweet to get to cuddle with him listening to his sweet snores. I'm so blessed to be a mommy!

That night at church, Tuck decided to show his growing vocabulary off to everyone! Here is a short rundown of his latest ramblings:

"aios" adios

"happy others day" Happy Mother's Day

"Bible"

"Orge" George

"Un, two, five" counting

He also said many other names for people who would ask him to say their name.

My little guy is growing up to quickly!

A Weekend of Nothing

We had a wonderful weekend with absolutely nothing planned. It was so nice to just spend time together! We did sneak out for a bit Saturday morning when I got to pick out a new kitchen table for an early Mother's Day gift.

Our Week in Review

We started the week off with a visit to the doctor for Tuck's 18-month check-up. He tipped the scales at 26 pounds. He now outweighs his older cousin! He's getting a little "fleshy"! What can I say the boy LOVES to eat! On Tuesday morning, I warmed him up 4 mini pancakes. He loves to dip them in sugar free syrup. He quickly scarfed those down and begged for "moe". I gave him 3 more before he once again wanted "moe, peas". I decided 7 was enough and cut him off!

We were finally given our doctor and appointment date for his tinker revision. From his daddy's research, we are going to one of he best pediatric urologist in the state. We go for an evaluation on June 8th, and will know more about the surgery from there.

Quick Update

Our little guy is growing up so quickly! He is SO busy! The weather has been beautiful, so he constantly begs to play outside. He loves to play basketball as well as run through his sprinkler.

Tucker's new favorite game is "Ring Around the Rosie". He especially likes to fall down as he screams "DOWN!".

Tucker loves to read! That makes my little 1st grade teacher's heart so proud. He is completely obsessed with one book that we pulled from a box from my classroom stuff called Chicka, Chicka 123. We read it at least 3 times each day from start to finish!

Retreat and More Potty

We went to KBA this weekend for a youth retreat. Tuck went along and had a great time. He ran all over the cabin and got whatever he wanted from the youth!

Today was a great day! We had fun together as a family spending time at church (even though Tuck left with quite a mark). This evening we were sitting around visiting with a youth when we heard Tucker grunting from another room. Matt walked down the hall to find him sitting on his potty! He pooped on his potty, but he hadn't figured out how to take his diaper off so it was on. I was so proud of the fact that he understood what to do though!

Easter

We had a great weekend celebrating Easter this weekend. We began the fun on Saturday with a trip to Ada where Tucker participated in egg hunts at both sets of grandparents' houses. He quickly found that there was candy in the eggs, so he stopped after each egg and checked out the candy inside.

While at Nan and Pa's house, Tucker decorated an egg with his cousins. He thought the egg dye was juice and kept spazzing out to get his hands on it. After pulling his egg from the bowl, he proceeded to dump the entire bowl of green egg dye all over himself and me. I declared that one was enough and began to scrub our jaundice looking skin down.

Sunday morning we awoke to lots of rain, so Tucker hunted eggs inside before heading off to church. He was very serious about it, and again he dumped each egg in his basket before moving on the the next. It was so fun to watch him hunt for eggs! He was also surprised with some outdoor toys (a sprinkler, bubble gun, etc.) from the Easter Bunny.

Tucker's Cousin

Last Monday, we went to OKC to welcome Tucker's new cousin, Jackson, into the world. It was a long day at the hospital, but Tuck did great. He played with his big cousins before finally crashing for the night in the waiting room. He's a little unsure about Jack, but it won't be long before Jack joins the group of rowdy cousins!

All the cousins!
