The West Side Story: Tucker is TWO!!!

Tucker,

You are two years old!!! I cannot believe my sweet little baby boy is a big two year old. You have grown so much. You are a funny kid though. You are scared of everything new but the past week you have done things you were always terrified of and we are SO proud of you!!! You got inside of a bounce house all by yourself and even tried jumping a few times, you went down a big slide ALL BY YOURSELF!!! That was a huge accomplishment for you and I couldn't believe it.

At the same time, you are also a total bully when it comes to your brother. You know how to push his buttons (which isn't that hard anyway) but you do it so often just because you know you can since the littlest things set him off. However, you are still BFFs with your big brother :)

When it comes to school, you are loving it so much! You are learning so much like colors, animals, songs, and ABCs. Putting you in daycare twice a week is probably one of the best decisions we've made. It helps you make friends, learn to be away from us, and be in a structured environment to help you learn. Plus probably one of the best parts is that Daddy and I get two whole days with no kids and I have to say, it is fantastic :)

Your vocabulary has skyrocketed the past couple weeks as well. For a long time it was only one word sentences but you are improving and getting better at talking every day. Some of the funny things you say:
    -when you want to know what someone's name is or what something is called: "Name. Name. Name"
    -something you learned at school is that Jesus lives in your heart. Everytime you see a heart you say "Jesus. Heart"
    -Superman = McMann
    -Captain America = Erica
    -Boogers = donuts
    -Open = "op"
    -Can't say your "C" syllables so Tucker is "TuHer", Michael is "MyHul", muscles is "MuHuls"

For your birthday this year we had a PJ Masks birthday theme. We didn't do too much but I made a few decorations and made shirts for everyone in the house. Since you have a deep love for donuts (not just your boogers), I made you a Krispy Kreme "cake". You weren't the only one who loved that; the guys were ecstatic :)

Your two year old checkup at the doctor went really well. You passed all the questions for the questionnaire with flying colors. Your height is in the 30th percentile and weight is in the 60th percentile, which I find hard to believe considering you hardly eat real food....The only concern I did have was that your foot turns in slightly, but I'm sure you will grow out of that soon.

You are such a funny, sweet, loving, cuddly little boy. You are completely ornery and know how to antagonize your brother. But if you don't get your way, it's like you lose your spine and you go completely noodle and collapse on the floor to throw your fit. Yes, you are THAT kid.....

I am excited to see what kind of little person you grow into as you get older. You are a sweet little boy with such a kind heart already.

The past few months have gotten even more busy than I imagined and I have slacked on keeping good records unfortunately. I'm afraid as life gets busier my record keeping will get worse. But I promise to still continue doing some sort of update!

I love you my sweet boy. Continue to be the boy God wants you to be.

Still in love with your sweet puppy :)

My little model baby enjoying the water park! Except not really, because you hate the water and hate trying new things. The snacks and sunshine were nice though!
