Tucker Update: 15 Months

After Tucker baby hit a year old, I took a break from the monthly updates.

Well, today he had his 15 month checkup, and it feels like time to spotlight his little mug.
He's a cute one, I tell ya.

At 15 months, Tucker is as exhausting as EVER.
Man this kid is BUSY!
I run around chasing him from danger and messes ALL day long.
Tucker loves to explore, loves to destroy, loves to run, loves to make messes, and loves to PLAY hard!
We spend a lot of our times quarantined up in the bonus room, because he can keep himself entertained for hours up there, and the mess can remain contained!
Tucker is also freakishly strong.  I dare you to try and pry something from his gorilla grip!

He has also (and pretty much has always had) TWO speeds....Zero and Ten.  
If he isn't asleep 100%, he's awake and going 90 miles an hour!



Tuck loves the water.
I am having so much fun with him this summer at the pool, because he has no fear holding him back from getting in and playing with me.


At his checkup today, it was confirmed yet again...
My babies are bite size.


20.79 lbs (7%)
30 inches (18%)


He was happy about it.
He tolerated the appointments, and his shots like a champ.

He was also especially happy the other day when we let him do an impromptu jaunt in the splash pad at the Riverwoods.
I swear he wears clothes...sometimes.


Strolling around the perimeter of the splash pad was almost as fun to him as getting wet.


Truly, almost everywhere we go, someone asks how old he is running around so fast because they think he's only like 8 months or something.  To see his little body running around is pretty hilarious.

Tucker LOVES to feed himself these days.
It's adorable and infuriating at the same time.
He is so much messier than Jack ever was, and I'm having to tuck my OCD tendencies away, and just go with it.  At least he's a good eater, right?


Tucker is starting to babble and make words.  He will try to copy the inflection of your voice and will say Mom, Dad, Jack, mess (fitting enough), oh no, uh oh, cheese, please, wow, woah, no no, and what is that?
I can't believe he's old enough to be saying things!




While he's exercising his ability to let us know that he disproves of things now...overall, Tuckman remains a happy happy boy.
We're all pretty smitten with him, as long as he's not thrashing his giant heed into your face or grabbing a spoon full of food out of your hand and flicking it all over the kitchen! :)

It's an exciting stage, to say the least!
Little devil.
Sure love his mug.
