Tucker, 18 months

I can't believe my baby is a year and a half! My how he has grown up these past few months. He is soaking up knowledge like a sponge. While he is not quite as verbal as his brother at this age, he understands so much and is learning new words everyday. As his vocabulary grows. he has figured out that he can use it to get what he wants...and he knows what he wants. Tucker is definitely more strong willed than his brother and has developed a screeching sound to lets you know when he is not happy. We are working on that. Tucker seems to have a little bit of a spilt personality. At home he is talkative and silly but he likes to pretend he is serious and quiet when we are around others. He is still a momma's boy all the way, but is getting better.

As for statistics, he is now FINALLY over 20 lbs. and is back on the growth chart (we had a little drop off at 15 months which led to tests, a visit to an endocronologist, and a new pediatrician, all to realize he is just little). He is still little, below the 5th percentile, but somebody has to be. Other than being little, he is great. He eats as well as any 18 month old, sleeps all night, and throws fits when he doesn't get his way...we are so happy he is normal and healthy...and we think he is pretty cute too!

Here are a few pics from the past few months that show a little of his personality.

We love you Tucker!
