6

Tucker turned 6 months old on Monday, June 17th.  My.Oh.My has the time flown.  It flew with Cooper, but it seriously feels like I had Tucker yesterday and all of a sudden, I have a 6 month old. 

Tucker is such a joy.  Such a happy baby and a chubby one too.  :)  He's got THE BEST belly laugh and it cracks.us.up.  You know that baby that belly laughs when the paper is ripped again and again?  Totally Tucker.  I really need to get a video of it.

He had his check up last week and he's 28 inches (83rd %) and 22 lbs 1 oz (98th %).  Dr. Wettach wasn't concerned about his weight at all, but he did say he's about a pound overweight.  Nothing to be worried about.  He obviously hated the shots, but the hospitals/doctors are getting smarter....combining multiple shots which equals less amounts of pokes.  Only 2 shots this time.  He will go back in September for his 9 month and then it's his 12 month one.  

This was the best pic I could get of him. He ripped my 6 month tie and slobbered all over it. And he was trying his hardest to roll away, so this was the best I could do. 

And Cooper wanted a picture with Baby Tucker too.

Baptism

Tucker was baptized this past Saturday, June 8th at the 5pm Mass at St. Mathias Catholic Church, which is the same church that we were married at as well as where Cooper was baptized.  Everything went well and we are so happy to say he's baptized.  Thank you to all the family that traveled here for Tucker's big day and for all of the wonderful gifts....we greatly appreciate it!  And we wanted to apologize if we didn't get to visit as much as we would have liked to....it was a crazy weekend/day! 

Door

Our door project started off with me wanting to save money, so I had all intentions of painting our old door blue.  Jason said the maroon paint needed to  be stripped off, so I put paint stripper on it and let it sit.  To make a long story short, the paint stripper didn't work and Jason finally had enough and made the executive decision to buy a new door.  :)  I was not upset one bit.  The old door was functional, just outdated.  Like, 1970's outdated.  We checked on menards.com and I showed Jason all of the styles I liked.  (I had to stay home with the boys because they were both in bed and obviously couldn't go with him.)  They had my most favorite style in stock, a little beat up, but nothing that my Uncle (who's a carpenter) couldn't fix.  A 10% discount off the sale price and it was ours.  This was in the middle of the week, my Uncle came over on that Saturday, had it installed in 3 hours, and all that was left to do was paint it and install the trim on the inside.  Jason finished painting it this past weekend and I absolutely LOVE it.  I think the addition of the blue looks great with our brown/tan/cream color scheme.  We have a little left to paint on the front as the painting of the cream color around the outside trim is on the tan color of the house.  Won't take long at all.  I am so happy with how it turned out

 

 

This is our new blue front door!  You can't really see too well in the upper photo, but you get the idea.  :)

 

 

And I threw this one in because it was so adorable to watch last night.  Jason was planting trees out at our new lot and Cooper was trying to 'help'.  He was actually planting sticks in the ground, or trying to.  :)
