Happy 9 Months Tucker!

HAPPY 9-MONTHS BABY BOY!

this is going by too fast :(


  Tucker was all eyes when this flying duo went above us
see them, they are really tiny in this pic 



 Stella and her "Stella-scope"  
She got this at Disney World - she is more of a little pirate than a princess these days



ALL ABOARD!
Annual trip to the BEST Petting Farm around - just minutes from our rental in FL
Green Meadows Petting Farm
Kissimmee, FL



 Stella's class sent her mail in Florida,  all her Valentine's from their party back home, isn't that sweet



 Thank you Denny - this is hilarious!  
If you look closely, you will notice those are all of our faces, in order:  Tuck, Jen, Stella, Justin




 Stella in her newest STELLbottoms, thanks Mom they are so chic!

This boy loves a bath



This is one of Stella's paintings - on her dress :)  
As you can see, it's titled:  "Purple Bird"  
I mean, seriously, just look at the BIRD there that appeared, crazy!


 If I'm gonna live in a rental home for two months, it's gotta feel like "home" as much as possible....hence the katrillion pics




FIRST TIME AT DISNEY WORLD!

Thank you to our FL Friends, Paula & Jeannine, for being such gracious and fun hosts that day!


The Stella Friendship Dress makes it to Disney World




Thank you Jeamma for the cutest swimsuit of all time!



 Stella had her very own custom entertainment - thanks to JC from CT!

Thank you JC

Itsy Bitsy Spider, Wheels On The Bus...you name it - he played it UPON HER REQUEST!

It's one of the weekends we look forward to when down in FL - the Rutledge Family's Annual Visit!



 Tonya comes to FL to help me pack up the house and head home (Justin couldn't go home yet)

 Yup - matching camo ;)








 Stella's Annual Putt-Putt outing with Mommy & Daddy

 Stella was in a mood here....

...then Justin was about over it as you can see, as I was too - and JUST THEN she decided to smile for the cam

Happy 8 Months Tuck!


Tucker has spent his 7th and now going into his 8th Month here in Florida - he's enjoyed the sunshine, family and new friends while we've been down here.  He's a gem of a boy who LOVES people, LOVES being held (sometimes too much as I cannot tend to his every need as Miss Stella the 3 yr. old can be on the "demanding" side - working on that let me tell ya!) and he LOVES LOVES to giggle and laugh - so anytime you want to make goofy faces with goofy voices or dance goofy for him (as his mommy does) he will be your captive audience NO DOUBT! 












FIRST "Real Food" - Carrots made by mommy :)



 Aunt Snookie - we love this bib you gave us the week Tucker was born :)





And another really cute bib - this one has sentimental value to it as my mom made this using Tucker's Great Grandpa Shorty's shirt (my grandpa).  Grandpa passed away just 2 weeks before Tuck was born :(  He was married to my grandma Stella :)






BLAST FROM THE PAST 
Stella in the baby RTB onesie that Tuck is wearing above supporting her Daddy his first year






Tuck's 1st Valentine's Day!

Tucker & Stella meet Cousin Rory from Montana for the first time!




Cousin Jodi has been sending random photos whenever she comes across something that has Stella's name in it (Coffee Shop in Denver, Farm in CO...) well - here's our first Tucker pic from Jodi - she now lives in N.C.  Thanks for always thinking of the kiddos Jodi!



All snuggly after a nice baby bath
