8 weeks old and strong!

Tucker is now 8 weeks old and is one strong little guy! He can hold up his head and doesn't mind too much being on his belly. I actually think he will be like his big brother and will want to sleep on his belly when he can. He is a growing boy as well.... I was holding onto the newborn clothes probably a week or so longer than I should have. His poor little toes were crunched in there. But last night I took out all the newborn clothes and replaced them mainly with Brandon's 3 month clothing. (so glad I saved it all)
Tucker is also eating about 5 oz every 4 hours. Sometimes I can get him to go 5 or even 6 hours. We are working on getting him to sleep through the night... we have been successful 3-4 times... and that's if you count 11:30-5:30 as a full nights sleep. Most nights he is up at 3:30 to eat but hopefully that will change soon. He is still in our room, as it's so hard for me to put him up in his room (on a different level) just yet! I'll probably wait until he is 3 months old, like I did with Brandon.

Less than a week and I'll be back at work:( So I'm currently enjoying EVERY minute with them!

Catching Brandon's Moments on my iphone

With having a newborn in the house- it is almost impossible to get some photos on my nice camera of Brandon. So below I've tried to capture him on my iphone when I can- haha!

He is really starting to talk more - stringing sentences together and having a conversation with us. We broke down the side of his crib and he loves his new bed. We have worked on colors, alphabet, numbers. animals, matching & puzzles. He can count to 10 with our help- he seems to surpass #3 most of the time. Sometimes it's funny but I'm like are you serious?!?! say THREE!!

Most recently will bring out all his movies in Tucker's bed to me and tell me "I wanna watch this"

New Bed:)

Such a handsome boy

I can hold up my head

Tucker is 6.5 weeks old and can hold up his head on his own:) Such a strong little guy. He is also started to smile as well! He smiles a lot in his sleep and now when you talk to him he will smile at you.... so precious!

Tucker 1 month old!

Yes I'm a little late in posting this.... frankly because it's harder to find time to do all this creative stuff with two! I'll get better.... I hope- lol:)

I can't believe that Tucker is 1 month old already... he certainly fits right in to our family. He has been such a great baby- feeding every 4 hours sometimes at night I can hold him to 5. Right now his life is quite simple... eating, pooping & sleeping.

Brandon loves his little brother "Tuck" which seems to be sticking at this point. We keep correcting him to say Tuck-ER but it's not working.... guess he will call him what he wants:)

A December to be thankful for

This year Christmas seems a little extra special (and extra busy- thats why I haven't posted in a while) We have had a lot to be thankful for and a lot to celebrate:) Let me try and give the cliff notes on this past month.

The same week that Tucker was due to arrive, my father in law (Scott) was also scheduled to have quadruple bypass surgery. We had learned a few weeks prior that Scott needed to have bypass surgery due to severe blockage in at least three of his arteries. Let's just say this past month has been filled with lots of emotions.... the nervousness of Scott's surgery and the excitement of our newest member of the family.

Dec. 4th- Scott had his quadruple bypass surgery and it went terrific.

Dec. 5th- Tucker was born at 1:21PM- a healthy, happy boy!

Let's just say the Walker family is very happy:) We are so lucky to have such a great family and friends for all their support during this past month! It was needed and we are sooo thankful that everything went smoothly and everyone is doing great.

Merry Christmas:)

I have a brother!!!

Even though Tucker was born a week ago today (today being my due date!) Brandon seemed to realize that Tucker was here to stay as of TODAY. I must say that I couldn't help but love that every time he came over to Tucker he said "hold" or "kiss" or "my baby" or "baby tuck". So I let him hold him today (with my assistance) and he gave him a pacifier and he also gave him tons of kisses. I think today he realized he has a brother (or at least someone that is in the house to stay for good- haha) I tried to capture all the great moments but only got to with my iphone camera. It was so precious.... and I must say it is great having both boys home with me. I say that now because Tucker is a Fantastic baby- he doesn't cry unless you change him. If he is hungry he wimpers which is like a faint whine- which I'll take anyday over crying. I just love our boys and I love that Brandon loves his brother:) 

love this!

kiss

i want to hold him

here is the pacifier... up your nose! ops!
