Our friend Scotty has called Tucker K.J. since he was 20 weeks old in the womb and this is proof that we made the wrong name choice. He is K.J.
His sippy cup is often held like a football, tucked tight to avoid being stripped.

The toothbrush
Yesterday Tucker was obsessed with his toothbrush. I took these pictures over a period of 2 hours. He walked the house brushing things, back in the mouth, singing, making funny noises using the toothbrush, brushing Jackson's teeth.... yum. The toothbrush will have to be retired. I think you can see why I couldn't just pick one of these. Jackson is pretty cute, too, we think.

All the little sweet things
... we hope we NEVER forget.
He loves to tease you with something he knows you want him to hand you. My cell phone. He picks it up, starts to hand it to me and then does his "back up move" where he shuffles backwards giggling. Lunges forward like he is going to hand it to me again, No! He pulls it back.
If I ask "Where is Daddy?" he always runs toward the back door (where Kyle comes in from work). Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon, it doesn't matter.
He goes to his room and gets a book of his shelf to sit and read on his own. We'll peek in to find him slowly turning the pages, sometimes talking out loud telling his own version of the story.
He often now sleeps hugging his stuffed dog in his bed. So sweet.
This morning in the nursery after Bible Study I came in to the room after some of the other moms had already gotten there and I see Tucker spanning the room with a panicked look on his face. "Where is she?!!?" It was so sad, but he ran toward me when he saw me and that made me happy.
He walks around the house with most anything pressed up against his ear "talking on the phone." We're just waiting for the day that he breaks out in a full sentence because these conversations of his go on and on.
After a nap we open the door and Jackson squeezes his way in (of course). The second that Tucker sees Jackson he just squeels with delight as if he has never seen a dog before!
I was singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" the other day and he put his fingers together like he was making a spider climb up the water spout!
Any music from the T.V. makes him stop in his tracks and do his dance. This entails bouncing up and down with one hand up (picture a rapper in the middle of a verse). He is so hip.

Swimmin' with my pup!
Pop bought me this swimming pool when he was in town for my birthday and I LOVE to swim in it. Jackson loves it when I swim, too.

Uncle Brian was here
Although it looks like we were at Tucker's first Cardinals game, we were actually at the Jacksonville Suns game. Tucker loved it. He just sat in our laps - staring very seriously at the game and all the bizarre double A baseball activities between innings. Amazingly, there were many people sitting around us, down here in Jacksonville, FL at a Suns game, sporting all their Cardinals gear. True fans everywhere! Tucker loved every minute with Uncle Brian... he has been in withdrawl since he left on Sunday.

For Uncle Rob, again.
We never leave our college friends without feeling overwhelmed with gratitude. Tucker already feels the depth with which he is loved by them and the ease of being with them. We all got to meet this precious 6 week old, Olivia Jane Teague. She is perfect. We got to spend time with the Thompsons, Teagues, Jeremy, Gitukus, Beth, and even Uncle Casey (in ATL for work). We missed the opportunity to get a picture with Uncle Casey :( The men have embarked on a "Weight Loss Challenge" that is currently being fully documented on a blog of its own. It is truly vintage Fatnatics. (For those of you who did not know Kyle in his Fatnatics days: You can check out the ridiculous pictures from back in the day of the clown wigs and tight 70s Rhodes basketball uniforms that were the Fatnatics on the blog - http://fatnatics.blogspot.com ). Uncle Rob, As you can see, my mom and dad did not get any good pictures of the weekend. Could you send them yours? Thanks. Love, Tucker
