Laughing!!

Yes, Tucker laughed a real, honest-to-goodness, laugh tonight! It was so cute and it totally made my night. It is times like that I love being a mom. The other times... I'm not so sure ;) I don't think I would mind it at all if Tucker would just sleep through the night and fall asleep when he's tired without any problems. Wouldn't that be the life?

Halloween...

We didn't do too much for Halloween, Tucker had been kind of fussy all day so we just stayed home and watched a scary movie. We watched Poltergeist and it really wasn't that scary at all, just kind of weird and humorous at parts. Tucker just dressed up as a cute little pumpkin man.
Tucker is getting really good at holding his head up when he is on his stomach. He even started to roll over this week and has done it about 4 or 5 times, but I don't think that it is on purpose. It is when a series of events happen at the same time through luck that he rolls over. If he leans his head over and pushes at the same time, his head is so heavy the momentum rolls his whole body over. It's pretty cool. I haven't been able to get a video of it because it is so sporadic.
It's funny though when he gets tired, he just face plants. For some reason he can't just turn his head to the side, he will sit there like this until you rescue him.
This picture is for my siblings, yes he is wearing his trogdor shirt. You've already corrupted him with Homestar runner at such a young age. :)

Dr. Appt.

Tucker had his 2 month doctor's appointment this week. It was fun to find out how much he weighed, but so sad to see him cry when he had to get his shots. Tucker is 12.24 lbs and 23 inches long, which means he has gained 4 lbs and grown 2.75 inches in about 2 months. That seems like a lot to me, but I feel like I feed him a lot so I am glad that it is doing something. Weight he is in the 49% and height is 37% and is head is in the 54%, so he is not such a big headed little boy anymore.


Yesterday Sheldon and I carved our pumpkin, it is not the most original idea, but I still think it turned out pretty cute (It is supposed to be Mickey Mouse if you can't tell. His ears turned out pretty small in proportion to his head). We are hopefully going to Disneyland around Thanksgiving and I can't wait!

Climbing!

Last Saturday it was such great weather that Sheldon and I went climbing. It was the first time that we have been this summer since I was pregnant the whole summer. We went with Sheldon's brother Kalon, his wife Mariah, and their cute little boy Andrew. Rock Canyon was beautiful with all the leaves changing and it felt good to be outside enjoying some warm weather. I am not looking forward to winter and being cooped up inside. This is a picture of Tucker and Andrew hanging out together in their strollers.
Sheldon is an excellent climber, he always makes it look so easy and goes up the climbs so fast. I think he definitely has an advantage by being so tall, if I was six inches taller I could probably climb as good as him too ;) I climbed this route too, but it took me longer and I could tell I was out of shape because I was tired after just one climb. I need Tucker to start getting heavier so I can count lifting him the same as lifting weights.



Sheldon and Tucker on the way home from climbing. Tucker was content when he was bouncing along the trail in his stroller.

Tucker was being really cute right before we went climbing. Sorry the video is sideways, I don't know how to flip it.

Tucker's Baby Blessing

Tucker's blessing was this last weekend and the whole weekend was so much fun. My family was able to come up from California, and it was the first time my Dad and my sister got to see Tucker. My Grandma Olsen was able to come up and she gave us a beautiful cross stitch for Tucker. It is so cute and I am so excited to hang it in his room!


Of course the day of the blessing we woke up to snow!! That is definitely Utah for you, snow in October (Thanks to Mitzi and Grandma for taking such great pictures!)

After the blessing at church we came back to our little basement apartment for some food. I'm so grateful to everyone who brought food, as you can see we had tons of great food! I thought for sure there were going to be leftovers, but due to having many college boys over, there weren't any leftovers. Which was fine, I was glad to be able to see and visit with so many people.
Grandma Olsen always had the magic touch with Tucker, he was also so calm and happy when she was holding him.
My Dad was also so cute with Tucker and I can't tell you how many hours he spent rocking Tucker to sleep. When Tucker is extra tired it takes him a long time to go to sleep and my Dad was so patient. I'm usually a little less patient and have to just put him in his swing and hope he falls asleep :)
My parents were so cute, they just couldn't get enough of Tucker, it definitely was ok with me, I got a great break this weekend.

Of course it would be a family reunion if some games weren't played. Here are my cousins and siblings playing one of our new games. Daniel ended up winning, which I was happy with because usually it is my cousin Brandon or Sheldon. So as long as one of them doesn't win, I'm satisfied ;)


Our little family, Tucker looked so cute in his blessing outfit. I didn't get many pictures taken of him in it because he spit up on it soon after, but at least he made it through church with it nice and clean.

Quest for a Smile

Every morning after I feed Tucker and I am changing his diaper he always smiles so much. He will smile these huge smiles where you see all of his gums. I have tried so many times to take a good picture of him smiling but he will always move or stop smiling right as I take the picture. Here are a few of my attempts.
