Sit to Stand

Yesterday, Tucker learned to pull himself up to standing from sitting. He grabs onto the Incrediblock and pulls right up. Daddy has to hold the block so it doesn't tip over!

Playin at the Park

We went on a walk to the park with the whole family (all Evans parks now allow dogs!!). Tucker had never been swinging before, he loved it!

Daddy took him down the slides a few times, not so sure he loved that!

Daddy also went swinging with him on the big swings. Tucker loved that too!

Playing and Teething

Tucker has a new favorite toy. They are cups that snap together in a tower, or balls, or nesting cups. They're very fun and there is so many different things to do with them. Including putting it on your head! He got them from Santa when he was in the hospital, what a great gift!


I've been trying to get a picture of his tooth since it's all the way through now, but his tongue immediately covers it up. Some day I'll get one!

Treatments

Tucker's getting better about having his nebulizer treatments. This is the best way for mommy and daddy!

Carrots!!!!

Tucker's first baby food, carrots! He didn't seem to like them at first, but now he's doing great. He still has his cereal for breakfast and then carrots for lunch and supper. Tonight we're starting another food. Hopefully he's getting used to new tastes and he'll like it from the start.

Tucker-Jump-Up

We tried out the Johnny-Jump-Up for the first time. Tucker loves it! He jumps and spins and laughs.

Good news and not so good news

Tucker is NOT allergic to dogs, cats, dust mites, molds, cow's milk, eggs, and a certain protein in cow's milk. Thank goodness we don't have to kick Leia outside! However, since it's not allergies, it's probably asthma. Could just be leftover from his RSV which means it could go away within a couple years. Or, it could be asthma like Miah and I had. He's sticking with his new asthma medicine for now. We're trying it for a couple weeks and if it works, great, if not, we're switching to singulair, another asthma medicine, for a couple more weeks then we go back to see the specialist. I just hope something works, it stinks hearing him cough all night long.

6 Month Doc Visit

We had Tucker's 6 month doctors visit today. He weighed 15 lbs 14 oz at the breastfeeding clinic on their digital scale and then 15 lbs 3 oz at the doctors office. So, I'm going with the clinic weight which is, I think, about the 15th percentile and his height is 25 1/4 inches which is, of course, only in the 10th percentile. The doc is keeping him on the albuterol nebulizer treatments as needed and adding pulmicort, which is a steroid, treatments once a day for at least a month. He's hoping that will help clear this all up. We see the allergist/asthma specialist tomorrow so we'll see how that goes. He had his first bite of baby food tonight, carrots. He didn't seem to like them too much! We're hoping it's just that it's a new taste and not that he actually doesn't like carrots. That's one of the few vegetables mommy and daddy both like! He has to stick with just carrots for a few days so we make sure there are no allergies before he can start another new food. I'll keep you all updated on the doctors appointments.

1st Attempt at 6 month pics

Our amazing photographer friend, Betony, took these pictures for us. However, Tucker wasn't in the best mood, not too fussy, just very serious. So, we're going to try again soon. I'll post more then! They're still pretty cute, I love the family tunnel one!

Eating and Sleeping

Tucker has decided that he wants to feed himself, however, not with a spoon!












He's a pretty funny sleeper.
