18 Month Tucker

Well, he's gone and done it.
Tucker hit the year-and-a-half mark...and boy oh boy is he full of it.
 
This boy will wear you out, down, and everything in-between...but, man is he cute.
And EXTREMELY entertaining.
 
 
 
 
About half the time this mischievous little creature has me at my whit's end...
but, I'm willing to look passed that because the other half of the time... he will steal your heart.
 
Just like his brother, this one is not lacking in personality!
Something in my genes + Brett's genes = hilariously quirky children.
 
 
This was Tucker during half of sacrament meeting the other day.
 
 
 
Tucker loves to get into everything... loves exploring....and loves making messes.
 
He isn't nearly as picky of an eater as Jack...but, he definitely doesn't eat a lot.  He finds throwing his food much more entertaining.
 
He is both a mama's boy and a daddy's boy.... and he sure loves his brother.

It's been really fun for me lately, with Jack starting school, to be able to have some alone time with Tucker.  He really is my little buddy...and such fun company.
 

 
He has the funniest little compact body EVER!
He's such a midge it's pure entertainment.

 
Tucker is very smart and very independent. 
He is starting to talk a lot...and seems to understand just about anything you say.
He mimics in his darling little voice... and he insists on doing EVERYTHING himself.
 
Tucker is definitely the product of his older brother.
Already obsessed with everything of the Halloween nature, I'm not sure that he even realizes that other toys/interests exist. 
 
 
He thinks everything is a zombie...and has his own obsession with bones of every kind.
 
Poor Tucker.
At this point in his little life, he constantly being told "no!"
Usually it's for his own safety, crazy nut would literally jump off the roof without looking back if he had the chance.
 
 The other day, I walked into my room to find him on my desk in this state...
He had business to do, obviously.
 
Tucker also LOVES stashing things.  We recently discovered his love for sticking all the credit cards from my wallet in the vent of the fireplace.  We've also discovered many missing toys down the vent covers throughout our house due to Tucker's love of hiding/hoarding/sticking things into any nook and cranny he can find!
 
A recent 18 month checkup confirmed Tuck's perfection, as well as his mini-me status.

 
Weight: 22.27 lbs (8%)
Height: 31.75 inches (34%)
Head: 82%  Hahahahahaha!
 
 
 
Tucker has finally become a more dreamy dreamer.
For quite a time, he liked to keep me guessing with his sleep.
But, he's sleeping like a champ now... occassionlly napping twice a day still...and taking a good lengthy nap (along with Jack) in the afternoons. 
Night time is a breeze...as long as he's got his precious blankie.

 
 
His antics are exhausting, no doubt... but, I honestly do love them.
They are who Tucker is...
And he is one of a kind.

 
Mwah!

Give me that freaking DIMP!! He is the perfect combo of adorable and total rat. That pic of him on your desk doing work is classic. He's looking at you like, "What?" That 18 months has flown by, holy moly.
