Christmas was fun! We took a LONG time to open presents (Tucker had a BUNCH plus he wanted to play with everything for a while before moving on!). Jeff and I decided we needed scissors, wire cutters, an assortment of batteries and screwdrivers to keep Christmas rolling smoothly. It was our first Christmas at home by ourselves.

Tucker is getting used to the idea of a baby sister and has been helping me set up the swing, bouncy chair, car seat etc. He often talks to himself about his baby sister and will ask me once a day "When is baby sister coming?" I want to know the same thing...but answer "Pretty soon" and hope it's true!

Tucker's new phrase is "I know" - another sign of his independence! I tell him something and he says "I know, mom" or Jeff will be explaining about something and get an "I know, dad". He is talking in more complete sentences, singing many songs at the top of his lungs (most often in the grocery store or a restaurant!) and drawing pictures of people and animals with recognizable body parts! We think he is amazing but I'm sure he's just an average kid with parents who think he hangs the moon. We'll keep you posted to how he interacts with his baby sister... hopefully he'll be a big help!

Happy New Year!!!

Thanks for tuning in!
