New Accomplishments

Tucker has really been growing lately. In size and in abilities. He has the strongest legs I've ever seen on a not quite 4 month old. Here he's standing up leaning against the couch.



He also learned over-night to lift his head up at a 90 degree angle. First on the boppy and then flat on the ground.




He's also just learned to reach for toys. He can grab them sometimes and they go immediately to his mouth!

Valentine's Day

Here are Tucker's Valentine's outfits. If you can't read them they say "Future Mr. Right" and "Wanna Date?" He got 3 Valentine's from Great Grandma Rouse, Great Great Grandma Houlette, and Aunt Ann. He also sent out a few!

Twinkle Babies

Tucker and Mommy went to Twinkle Babies at the library on Monday. It was a lot of fun! We sang all our favorite songs: Head, Shoulers, Knees and Toes, Pat-a-Cake, ABC's and a new one: Shake, shake, shake the sillies out; Clap, clap, clap the crazies out; Jump, jump, jump the jiggles out; Wiggle the waggles away! We read cool books and played with new (and a couple old) friends.

Tucker is playing with a beach ball. Kathryn, our friend from Atlas, and Kaylee, our friend from playgroup, also go to Twinkle Babies.

Super Bowl

Here are a couple pictures from the Super Bowl party and the Cooks. Unfortunately, my camera battery died and these were all I got. Fortunately, Kelly took a bunch and they are at http://augiebloggie.blogspot.com/2008/02/cutest-babies-in-world-at-super-bowl_04.html and http://augiebloggie.blogspot.com/2008/02/our-superbowl-party-with-our-atlas.html Tucker slept through a lot of it and Doyle and I were glad the Giants won, we are Cubs fans so we like to cheer for the underdog!

Atlas Babies (and Mommys)

Ok, so I totally copied this from Kelly, I admit it!

Daddy is a Captain

The Evans Fire Department had their annual awards night last week. Tucker was the star of the show! Everyone loved his "little chief" shirt and the Chief and Assistant Chief both told him he could have the job! Daddy officially became a captain. Mommy got to pin his new badge on him. Now it says Captain instead of just Firefighter. What a couple of handsome boys!

DIAPE(RED)

He's very trendy in his baby gap "Red" onesie. Part of the proceeds go to fight aids in Africa. Also, he's starting to learn how to get an object into his mouth. Doyle says it's bad that I'm teaching him that, but I want him to be able to hold his own toy while he chews on it! He's learning fast.

Time Travel

Here is Tucker in January of 2008 and Kurtis in April of 2004! What a great outfit!

3 Months

Tucker is 3 months old as of January 30th. He is around 13 pounds (more than double his birth weight). The time has flown by! He has such a great smile and laugh.
