Hard to beat.....

the last post of Jackson dancing...that is why it has taken me so long to post again. We went to Toys 'R Us last night to get some deals and Jackson got his first pair of running shoes...ADIDAS:). He got to wear them this morning with his new shirt too. Man oh man he can run fast....check it out. On your mark, get set, GO!

Here are some pics from the running event:

Oh yeah, and here is a rarely seen picture of Mommy. I am usually behind the camera, but figured there should be some documentation of Tucker and I :)

Hey Mr. DJ!

Fridge DJ that is, courtesy of LeapFrog.......ever heard of Annie Who? Great song (not)...very annoying after about the 10th time. Jackson LOVES that song and he continually presses to the button to make it start over, just so he can get his groove on and dance to it. I will deal with the song, just to watch him dance.....see below :)

Babysitter training...

I asked Jackson to watch Tucker for me yesterday morning while I made a cup of tea. So I sat Tucker next to Jackson on Daddy's recliner....and voila, instant babysitter. He and Tucker sat there and watched Blue's Clues while Mommy got everything ready for Stroller Strides. I think the staring at the TV is a boy thing for sure :), they take after their Daddy!

How much do you weight?

Ok, seriously don't answer, but I thought you guys may want an update on Mr. Tucker. As of Friday he was 10 lbs 2.5 oz and 23.5 in long. Whew....let's see where he started...7 lbs 13 oz and 22 in long...not bad progress for one month today! :)

I'm a sap....

I have always been and probably will always be a strong woman, but it amazes me sometimes what makes me melt :)....my boys!

Jackson's bedtime routine consists of a bath, snack, and then hugs and kisses for Mommy and now Tucker. Then as Daddy carries him upstairs he always says, "Night Night Momma, Love You Momma," and blows me a kiss, MUAW! Well now that Tucker is here, and Jackson is making a bit more of a connection with him, Mommy is on the back burner. I still get a hug and kiss, but now it is "Night Night Gucker, Love you Gucker." By the way this is all unprompted. We do ask him to give Tucker a kiss goodnight, but never anything else, this was all on his own. I can see the bond forming already and it makes me smile and melts my heart!

Another little anecdote....Tucker was napping in the swing today and Magnus kept lingering around trying to get a sniff of him. Jackson rushed right over and said, "No no Magnus, leave him lone." :) He also tried to restart his swing for him when I turned it off, while yelling, "Oh no Momma, Gucker's swing!"

In the midst of all that I am frantically trying to put away laundry and straighten up for our LMC MNO tonight! Whew.....what a day :)

Jackson and Tucker...a comparison.

Let's play a little game and see if we can decide who this baby is.....Jackson or Tucker? Comment and let us know what you think.....

I promised....

Well I said once a week, and here i am :) I am busy uploading pictures to shutterfly from our laptop so I can erase all of my files on there....because I got a NEW laptop, YAHOO! Who knew I could get so excited about a laptop, but it really makes such a difference in my daily routine. With my new laptop I will be able to do all my work for Stroller Stride without having to be secluded from the family. Not to mention I will have something to keep me occupied while Todd is watching some of his favorite shows...blah!

I am uploading some pics of the boys from Friday. They are dressed in their matching outfits from The Green Family. Adorable! Enjoy :)

We're Baaaaack!

Well, so much has happened since the last post....obviously, since it has been a good 5 months! We welcomed Tucker Sammis Grayson into the world on October 11th at 5:39am, after 33 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing....what a trip that was! His birth was one of the most amazing things I have ever been a part of! I will post our birth story the next time Jackson and Tucker give me a five minute break :) Keep an eye out for some pics!
