Tucker 1-3 months old

I love this sweet little man so very much!! He is the easiest baby ever! He started out the month still going to bed around 10:00-11 and would still wake up like 20 min later and want to eat just a little and then we would be good through the night. By the end of the month he was going to bed closer to 10-10:30 and not waking up as much to be topped off. He has done several 7-8 hour stretches but even when he gets up, he eats, I change him, he eats some more and then he back asleep till morning. Even if he is not completly asleep when I put him in his crib he never cries. He usually grunts himself back to sleep. He is such a content baby!! 

I never thought I would be so blessed to call these beautiful kids MINE! 
 His first campfire..talking to papa Bill. 
This is his absolute favorite way to be held..the 
only way to get him to fall asleep completely.
 He has finally started to like sleeping on his belly.
 He is starting to scoot himself off of his blankets

He has been sleeping so well this past month. He went from doing 7-8 hours to now doing over 10 hours. He has done 11-12 hours actually the past few nights.  He has also stopped crying after he falls asleep to be topped of and is now going to bed around 9 which has been really nice. This little boy never cries...and when he does you know his belly hurts or he is super tired. He doesn't even really cry when he wakes up first thing in the morning after going all night without eating. 
He is just so content. He is so good about just laying on the floor and looking around. He still prefers to be cuddled up in his blanket and loves to be snuggled up on your chest. He also loves when Tenlee talks to him, he usually smiles away at her. It melts my heart!! He is also starting to coo a little bit. 
He dislikes having lotion put on his head, he will scream bloody murder and I always know that is what Tyler is doing when I hear that scream from the bathroom:) He doesn't like to be cold at all...has to be all nice and warm and bundled up. He is just starting to hold up his head...up until taking his 3 month pictures he hasn't really head it up at all when he is on the floor, but he just started holding it up for a small time. 
By far he is the easiest one of the three kids. He is just so easy going and nothing really bothers him. He does have certain positions that he prefers when holding him when he is getting tired...other than that he pretty much eats every 4-5 hours and then sleeps. 
His schedule typically
8:30-9 he wakes up..sometimes it is later than that
Lays on the floor until 10:15-10:30 and then goes down for his long nap upstairs (on his belly)
1:30-2 wakes up and is good for an hr or so
3-6:30 he cat naps on and off
He is either wide awake around 6:30-7 or we wake him...but lately he has been waking up on his own around 6:30
I feed him around 7 or so and then we do bath night every other night 

At the beginning of the month he was going to bed around 9:30 but each week he been doing earlier and is now down to 8:45-9, which has honestly been a blessing for Tyler and I to have a little time just the two of us. 

I love this picture of him!
Getting dedicated by his great grandpa Claxton
 At his 2 month checkup, where he weighed 13.7# 
He is offically a thumb sucker. We still use his paci for church or car rides but he finds his thumb at nap time or I hear him squeeking away when he wakes up in the morning. LOVE IT!!

Zoo Trip

  Tenlee has a chore chart that she earns stickers each time she has a good attitude for the day or she completes her chores without throwing fits. She finally completed her chart and her reward was going to the zoo. She was so excited and even more excited that she earned the trip by being a "good girl":)
 
The loved looking at the new baby 

 They both loved this...Koop wouldn't let go 
when it was over. He kept saying more, more!
 This was the only thing she cared about seeing, 
and she had to take Lucy to see her mommy.
