3 Months Going on 4!

Well since the last blog post, Aaron has discovered his voice, how to jump up and down in his jumper and still loves his hands in his mouth.  He is working on rolling from his tummy to his back, but not fully there yet.  He has been sleeping through the night still, about 8 hours at a time, but it seems that he will sleep way more for daddy than he will for me.  Today was one of the first times I actually made Aaron laugh out loud numerous times and it was like music to my ears!   He is unofficially around 15 to 16 lbs I think and around 26 to 27 inches long!  His 4 month check up is next Tuesday so we will see if our numbers are close to right.  Now that football season has started, he is loving it!!!  He recognizes his name now when its called and is very curious, daddy and I call him curious george, he he :) 

It is already almost time to upgrade to a bigger car seat, he has figured out how to sit up in his current on as a way of telling us he wants out and well sometimes he can't sit back and stays uncomfortable in the car until we stop and see him, which I do not like at all!  I have a couple of videos and pictures I would like to share that were taken recently, hope you enjoy!



3 Months Old!

Well Aaron is now three months old, just within the last month it seems like so much has changed.  Andrew and I measured him last night and he has already grown another inch from his two month check up.  He loves to make a lot of noise, its so cute!  We are slowly introducing the crib, but for now he sleeps in the pak n play still in our room ha ha.  He has figured out he has feet and is not afraid to use them to push up when he is sitting in someones lap.  He laughs out loud now and loves to put his hands in his mouth.  Just last week he started sleeping for longer hours during the night without needing to wake up in the middle of the night to eat....it has been heavenly! 

It seems that he is for sure like his daddy, he will sit in front of the tv for about an hour to hour and a half and watch baseball, wrestling, and golf.  I've tried disney movies and mickey mouse clubhouse, but he doesn't seem to care much for but he will tolerate for just a little bit.  He has gained good control of his head when he sits up.  We are now on the road to teething, he has his nights where he is very fussy and wants to be held constantly and other nights he is okay.  It has been quite an adventure so far, we are very interested to see the type of personality he will have.  We were just discussing how everyday we can see the little features he carries between the two of us, kind of blows our mind! 

2 Months In.......

Mr. Aaron turned 11 weeks today!  Yes I will say it a million times, it is going by way too fast!  He is getting to be such a big boy, he remains on track as far as development goes, he puts his hands in his mouth, is still working on controlling his head better, and today started to reach for his feet while sitting up in someone else's lap.  He smiles all the time and does a lot of talking!  My goal for this week was to work on getting him to nap in his crib, well that was not successful but he is staying in his swing longer and falling asleep, which has taken some time.  The last couple of nights he has slept for about 7 hours, which is heavenly!!!  Only once has he woken up fussy, but he ended up going right back to sleep.  I started back to work two weeks ago and so far its going good, it took a while to adjust to and get back in to a routine.  He mostly stays with his daddy at night which has made it so much easier on me, because I know he is well taken care of.  During the day time I have the help of grandma's and his nina which I am so so thankful for so I am able to sleep.  He is the happiest baby around our families and seems so comfortable with pretty much everybody.  We are so blessed to have the help that we do while getting use to our new roles as parents.  The first couple of months were the most stressful, I know we have many more to get through, but we feel that we have gotten him figured out as far as what each cry means and when its time for a nap.  We wouldn't trade this for anything else in the world. 

Now here are some pictures to enjoy, which i'm sure the majority of you have already seen....

One Year Anniversary!

 Andrew and I just recently celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary, its amazing how quickly a year can go by.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man as my husband.  We celebrated by getting a couples massage and then went to dinner at Ember's Steakhouse, must say they have the best prime rib!  Our first year of marriage was filled with quite a surprise, we found out in August we were expecting our first baby, I went through the shock of not finishing nursing school, which I now realize was a blessing in disguise.  Then on April 19, 2011 10 months after we got married we welcomed Aaron Michael Tucker into the world.  So I guess I can say our first year of marriage was great!  I don't know who I would be without Andrew or Aaron in my life, I am truly a blessed woman! 

Aaron Michael Tucker

Aaron Michael Tucker was born on April 19, 2011 at 03:51 p.m., he weighed 8 lbs 1/4 oz and was 20 3/4 in long.  I was lucky to go into labor on my own, I had a fear that I was going to have to be induced, but trust me I walked the mall like it was going out of style after my doctor visit at 39 weeks, I was ready!  He is doing wonderful so far, it has been quite an adventure and a very big adjustment!  We are going back and forth with nursing and formula but he for sure eats like a champ.  He amazes me everyday with the faces he makes and the way he looks around at his surroundings.  He is already getting too big.  I am enjoying every minute of being a mommy, yes it is hard, but I wouldn't change a thing. 

7 Years....

First day of our Senior Year

Homecoming Senior Year

Senior Prom

We recently passed 7 years, and I can't believe its been that long!  So I decided for this blog post I would share some pictures through those 7 years together.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man as my husband.  Through these 7 years it has just been the 2 of us and soon we will have our new addition, Aaron.  Its hard to believe that through all this time together we finally got married and soon after found out we were going to be parents!  We are both so nervous and so excited at the same time, because this is a huge new role, and its going to be a huge learning experience, but we can't wait!  Although some things did not work out as planned in the past, we know that the good Lord above has a reason and we know that those things will work out when they need to. 

30 weeks!

Today marks 30 weeks of the pregnancy!  I can't believe how fast all of this is going.  The last couple of weeks we have started buying lots of clothes, decorations for his nursery, and books we have started reading to him.  We will be moving into a 2 bedroom apartment next month and I can't wait, because I feel once we are there things will start falling into place for our little man as far as putting his room together. 

One of the things I have read about, is that when you are pregnant you have some very out there dreams!  I don't think this is exactly an "out there" dream though, but I have dreamt about what he will look like and its crazy, but all I remember is he had very little hair, greenish eyes like his daddy and the cutest smile!  The closer and closer his due date gets here, the more anxious I become. 

It seems that night time is his favorite time to move these days.  I started to actually feel his hands and feets from outside my belly, very weird I must say, but it makes me laugh!  His Nina finally got to feel him move on Sunday :) she described it as his way of saying hi because there was a lot of movment going across my belly while she talked to him.  His Aunt Chloe seems to love feeling him move, it always brings a smile to her face.  Of course there is Daddy, Andrew always has the biggest smile on his face when he feels him move, it always feels like he is doing big punches with his daddy, I love it!

We will be going back to the doctor on the 21st, this last appointment went great, still measuring perfect and his heartbeat is perfect, we couldn't have asked for better news up to this point.
