The last 15 weeks...

So... I need to catch up here quickly... Over the last 15 weeks my life has done a complete 180! Funny thing is, I can't remember life before my precious angel came to me. Tucker is the first thing I think about every morning and the last thing I think about each night. He's on my mind all day every day and his every need and want is constantly running through my mind. He has had three doctor's appointments in the last 15 weeks and many weight checks. 
Weight Checks:
4/7/09: 5.9
4/8/09: 5.4
4/10/09: 5.10
4/17/09: 6.0
4/24/09 (this was my actual due date): 6.6 (looks like he would have been a small baby anyway)
5/08/09: 6.8
5/15/09: 7.6 (WOW! big jump!)
5/22/09: 7.13
6/10/09: 8.0
6/28/09: 8.8

Tucker had his two month appointment on 6/10/09 and his shots :( I absolutely hated that little scream he let out. Dr. Williams is Tucker's pediatrician and she assured me that although Tucker is small, he's probably always going to be small, he is doing very well and is a strong and healthy baby boy. 

In the last two months, Tucker is talking (well if you can call it that) a lot! He loves to lay on his back and play with his favorite toys which include a clear beach ball with a yellow jingle ball trapped inside, a rattle, a mirror, and a Fisher Price play gym that he loves to lay and play on. He has a Baby Einstein Musical Jumparoo that I can't wait to get down and put him in when he's big enough. He also LOVES Elmer the Elephant that his daddy had made for him at Build A Bear the day he was born. Jeremy's mother loved Elephants and so Elmer is going to be quite special in our house. He loves his Larry Lion that he likes to rub between his fingers and also his white crochet blanket made by his great-great Aunt Janice. This week Tucker has learned to roll over on one side. He gets extremely frustrated by this because once he's on his side he isn't sure how to get back to his back! LOL! 

This week I have plans to work on Tucker's scrapbook made by his Aunt Bethy. I'm going back to work soon (I'll blog about that later) and I would like to have his scrapbooks finished when I go back. We'll see how far on those I can get! Tucker is an excellent baby... very laid back... loving... sweet.... but he's also very very very very SPOILED! He demands quite a bit of attention!
