Tucker and I are on a little vacation right now...can I call it that when we don't do anything at home anyways? Vacations are for people who work so maybe ours is just a trip, who knows. ANYWAYS, we are home for a visit to Clarkston to see family and friends for a few weeks. We are also planning on blessing Tucker while we are here in my family's ward. Nate and I decided that it will be easier to do it in our family's ward rather than asking both of our families to travel. I'm so relieved that we are finally blessing our baby boy! Hopefully he doesn't wiggle and squiggle too much :)
Its nice to be at my parent's house for awhile. I keep calling it "home" and I catch myself and feel guilty because my "home" is in Silverdale with my husband. But as my mom always reminds me, it will always be home no matter where I live or how old I am. Its incredibly comforting to know that I can always go home again! So far we've been busy spending time catching up on everything. Tucker has been having fun with his cousins Savvy and Lizzie. He giggles so much around them and he is fascinated by them! Its really cute to watch them interact.
Tucker has been quite the little star since we've been home. He gets so much attention from everyone and I can't help but be the most proud mama! He loves all the attention too. We went with mom up to the hospital yesterday and Tucker just screamed and wailed the entire trip...as soon as we get to the reception area, he's fine. Then some older volunteer workers come over and start oohing and ahhing over him...what does he do? He turns on the smiles and starts flirting with them! Oh my little charmer! After the appointment, we got him back in the car and the first thing he does is start crying again....*sigh*
We will continue to be very busy for the next two weeks. We're going to a bridal shower tonight, reception next week, Tucker's baby blessing, family visiting...so much to do and its already been a week! The best part about being home is being able to have some help with T during the day. Its so nice to not have a baby in my arms all the time (am I terrible for saying that?) because everyone can't get enough Tucker time. Its great! We're working on getting T on a little better of a routine and we're trying to get him to sleep longer (which is is! crossing fingers for continued success) by feeding him what I call "slop." Its a mixture of formula, rice cereal, and first baby food (so far apples). Its seems to be working...there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
