Wow! 6 months! Just seems that is how I should start this post. Tucker is amazing and sweet and giggly and wonderful. He keeps me up at nights, has started a high pitch girlie squeal for no reason, and hates taking a bottle. He is at least 18 pounds (was 17.9 a week and a half ago) and is 25 and a half inches long. He has a little scrape on his right cheek where I tripped with the stroller and he went for a tumble (thankfully strapped in). His little chunky thighs are adorable and he is the best napping buddy. He loves to bounce in his doorway bouncer- although sometimes it will lull him to sleep! He hates lying down - wants to stand up and sit up - but still needs support. Tucker continues to grow and change everyday. Andrew took about 20 minutes of video of him just bouncing and bouncing ha! He rolls over constantly and is starting to lift his butt up like he wants to figure out the crawling thing - not just doing superman while on his belly!
Abbey is here now as well. Love our big puppy girl. But wow - this is a lot of work. One week down and I am exhausted. Have gone back to taking naps with Tucker the last two days! It's difficult, because Tucker needs so much right now from me and it is hard to show Abbey the same amount of love and attention that she used to get from us. I knew it was going to be a lot of work - I had no idea. But, this is life and this is family and we do what we need to do - right? We have been heading out to the park 3 times a day for some runs with the Chuck It - not for an hour or anything, but enough to get her thirsty. Andrew has taken her out when he comes home while I am putting Tucker down as well a few nights. She is just having to adjust to not being top "dog". Baby is allowed on bed - you are not...and so on. Much easier at home where the outdoors is our backyard. Now we have to pack up the stroller and baby and go out in public to get her some exercise. And as someone else said, there is also laundry and cleaning, and exercise, and showering, and so on and so on. Welcome to Mommyhood.
So, we keep on keeping on. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger? Or want to drink;)
Love my family!
