Sweet perfect totally not my favorite Tucker

Tucker is 6 months old this week. And I could die. Dramatic much? No.
With Madilyn she was the first so naturally as first time parents we were 1 part overwhelmed and two parts overly excited for each little milestone.  When Bo was born was born Madilyn was only 14 months old, we were so in love with this cute little boy version of madilyn.  So while we loved him more than words and were so grateful to have him in our family... it was kind of like repeating a year. (Sorry Bud, we do love you and think you are super special and all that jazz. But when you were a swaddled baby... carbon copy of your sister.) Again so in love and so tired.

Since Bo was 20 months old, (and kept up with madilyn 100% percent and I sometimes forgot he was not two already), when Tucker was born we basically hadn't had a baby forever. haha. joke.
But really there is something about having two toddlers that makes you realize how fast they grow up.  So really I just want to hold him and make silly faces at his smiley one all day.

He is the perfect third baby.  Beyond the whole eats well and sleeps well good stuff, he is sturdy.  A highly desirable quality when Thing 1 and Thing 2 want to hold you 90 times a day.  He is so happy and content just hanging out in his bumbo wherever the action is at.
He loves when Jordan comes home and does the happy baby dance/jerking seizure move.  If dad is in sight he can not stop smiling and giggling to even eat.

Now, pardon me as I go all proud mom on you and list all of his favorites.
Sitting up on this own.  Actually shockingly good at this one.
Madilyn's hair.  If it is in reach of his wobbly gross motor skills he WILL grab it. And pull & smile.
Dad.
Trying to pick up anything in reaching.  When successful putting said item in his mouth.
Mom.  He said mama the other night and Jordan completely melted.

I think it is easy to say he is everyone's favorite in the family.  Bo and Madilyn can not get enough of him. Bo is the first one to greet him when he wakes up, loves to bring him toys, tries to pick him up when I am not looking, and loves to hear about being a big brother.  Madilyn smothers him, can hold him for almost 7 minutes *so helpful*, is pretty good at keeping him happy in the carseat, and reminds/asks me no less than 3 times a day, " mom, Tucker weally lobs me huh? Mom, you know he so really really cute and sweet?"

After three kids so close together I can say with absolute surety that milestone with baby number 3 are just as exciting and fun as baby 1 and 2.  You just want them to slow down a little and soak it all in a little more.  Because babies don't keep.
