My Little Man...

How the heck did my little boy get from this:

{One day old in the hospital}

To This:

{A big boy wanting to just play and get into everything?}

Tucker is 18 months today!!! I can hardly believe my little baby is already such a big boy!!! Time flies by so fast, and I can't even remember our little family without him!! He is such a sweet little man, and we love him SO much. His big personality is coming out so much. He says and does some of the cutest things, and half of the time I don't don't where he even gets it. Some of his favorite things are:

Cars -we watch the Disney movie, Cars, an average of 3 times a day
Balls
Dogs -Is this kid a boy or what?
Dancing -Sexyback by JT is his favorite
Snuggling-hes the BEST snuggler EVER!
Talking- All the time!
Making Faces-the boy is most definitely his fathers son!
Bath time
And more Dancing

And I know I may be biased, but he also is the smartest kid too! Ben and I sat down and to write down all of the word he knows right now, (mainly for our own personal memory)not the words he just randomly says because he hears them, but words he actually knows:

And, I don't mean to brag, but after coming up with this list, we checked on-line (because everything on line is complete wisdom and truth) and a few sites said that at 18 months, a child should be saying like 10-15 words!!! Our child is a genius! :) No, really talking is just MOST DEFINITELY his thing. I mean, he didn't crawl until 10 months, really had no interest in it, and didn't walk until 15 months, so talking is just it for him. It is his one talent so far in life.:) His first few words were: Dog, Cool, and Thank you. Cool and Thank you came, I think, from just hearing me. But the boy truly does love Dogs! :)

He is just such a sweet and happy boy, we couldn't have asked for a better child for our family! Since I didn't start this blog until he was like 9 or 10 months, and I love pictures so much, I had to include some of my favorites...(notice how he is just always smiling)

{First Christmas-1month old}

{Trying to figure out where the music is coming from, I think}

{First solid foods-boy did he love them-6 months}

{first big-boy hair-do with Gel and everything!!!}

{Yeah-finally using those legs of his, and pulling himself up to stand-he is such a poser}

{He's always loved the attention from the ladies!}

{Loving bath time}

{One of his many many faces}

We love you Tucker!
