Tucker's Big Weekend!

We started off the weekend by going to the Bixby Green Corn Festival. By the time the parade started, we were all getting hot and fussy. After having some corn, browsing the craft tables and a couple rounds of bingo, we were headed home.

Then on Saturday night...Tucker rolled over!

He did it a couple more times Saturday night and a few times on Sunday!

He's quite the traveler! When he's put down to sleep at night, he lays like this:

When he wakes up in the morning, he's completely turned around!

We had a couple of photo shoots today. Tucker is quite the poser!

Earth Meet Tucker!

I realized this evening that Tucker has never actually touched the earth! So after Alec mowed the front lawn (with his new lawn mower!), Tucker and I decided to stick our toes in the fresh cut grass!




Next up...mosquito bites!

Where's Lucy?

You Say Tomato!

Alec has been working feverishly on getting our yard up to par and making our garden bountiful! Tucker thought it was most fitting that we buy Daddy a lawnmower for Father's Day! Alec has 2 broken down lawnmowers that he's been trying to fix (hmmm...I smell a penny pincher!) and 1 that he borrowed from his dad. The Blue Team at Sears fixed me right up and I think I got a pretty good deal!

Can you guess which is the new one?!?! (hint...it's the shiny black one!)

Unfortunately, Alec mowed Friday night so the grass wasn't quite high enough to mow Sunday. But last night...


Alec has boasted quite the green thumb this year. While I was busy growing a baby in my belly, he grew this:

He planted 2 bell pepper plants, 1 jalapeno plant and 6 tomato plants which are just crazy out of control.

The leaves on the squash, zucchini and cucumber plants are HUGE!


The tomatoes are growing in clusters and I swear we have like 100 or 150 tomatoes!

We finally picked our first red tomato last night! It was DELICIOUS!

Happy Father's Day!

For kisses each morning and kisses every night and the million other little things in between, we love you, Daddy!

Happy Father's Day!
- Love Momma, Tucker, Mango, Berman & Lucy

That wasn't so bad!

Tucker had his big 2 month check up today which included his first round of SHOTS! I cried as soon as I saw the needles - they were so big! Tucker cried when he got the shots but not for long afterwards. He's such a good baby!

His weight today was 11 lbs and 4 oz (50th percentile), his height was 23 1/4" (55th percentile) and his head measured 40 1/2 cm (50th percentile). He's a perfectly average boy!

Here's Tucker anxiously waiting to go to the doctor's:

Tucker's Fun Filled Saturday!

Tucker was quite the busy boy yesterday. First we went to Wynona's Founders Day celebration. This year marked Wynona's 100th birthday so there were lots of people there and of course everyone ooh'd and ahh'd over Tucker!

Tucker watched the parade with Daddy.

Then Tucker was in the parade when Daddy jumped in the golf cart with Grandma Carol and cousin Laney!

After Grandma Carol showed off her new grandson to everyone, Tucker snugged up with Grandpa Walter.

Tucker was all tuckered out and took a little nap on the way home.


Tucker ate and freshened up then it was off to the zoo with Gram and Tink!
Momma gets Tucker all settled for his first zoo trip.

At the zoo, Tucker saw a rhinoceros!

Then we rode the train and Tucker saw some elephants!


After monkeying around, it was time to go home!


Tucker slept 7 straight hours last night, got up to eat, then slept for 2 more hours! Momma and Daddy vote for more fun filled days!

Fat Fat Go Away!

So apparently owning a treadmill, weights and work out videos isn't enough - you have to use them! So begins the next leg of this journey called procreation.

I signed up for a Biggest Loser challenge on the Baby Center message board. About 50 girls who all had babies in April signed up for the challenge. It's kind of a contest but it's more about motivating one another. I didn't do so hot last week. I got so busy at work that I would forget to drink water and eat my snacks so when I got home, I was famished and ate everything in site!

Also I had a hard time jogging on the treadmill because a couple of things kept getting in my way and I had no way to restrain them. So let me mention my newest unmentionable - it's the biggest most confining sports bra known to man! I've never paid so much for something that no one will see, but it does the trick! I jogged today and everthing stayed in place!

I think I'll be much more successful this week. I'm going to do a "Couch to 5K" training program. I did the first workout today (in my new ginormous sports bra) and it wasn't so bad! I also have some great dinner ideas in mind - lots of veggies and chicken!

During my pregnancy I heard how lucky I was to be due in April because I missed being big fat and pregnant during Summer. But now I'm just big and fat during Summer - I can't blame it on pregnancy!

Hopefully I'll be out of my maternity stuff by the end of summer...just in time for big cozy sweaters!
