Tucker the Toddler

Tucker is a now a new man: a toddler! He walked two steps in a row on Christmas twice and then walked 5 steps to my friend, Tanya! He really got the hang of it that day and it happened to be my birthday (Dec. 29) so that was really cool. He gets better at walking every day and falls a lot less already. Now we go places and when he gets out of that stroller he is a walking/trying to run maniac. We go to the libraries and he could care less about books while we are there, but he has become obsessed with them at home.

The other great story was when I was showing Tucker his farm animals and asked him "what does a dog say?", and I totally did not expect an answer and he said "ruff" (it may have been woof). I was SHOCKED and almost fell over! He says it all the time every since then. He also LOVES Gracie even though the feeling may not be mutual and chases her around the house! She has to spend a lot of time in the kitchen which I feel a little bad about but it's for her own good. We put up a gate and call it the "safe zone". She will run to it when she's had enough torture. Tucker also loves to admire the dog, Brandy, next door and looks for her during his dinner. He points and says "Woof" when she comes outside.

It's also a lot harder to take his picture since he is a blur. They may all be taken while he is in a stroller or high chair now! We will post something.
