Dear Tucker...

You are already 8 months old. I cannot believe how much you have changed in such a short amount of time, and how much you have changed my life forever.

You have really been keeping Mommy busy. You love life and go all out with everything you do. This week I found myself struggling at times to keep up with you. Crawling, pulling yourself up on things, walking around, jumping in your crib, and reaching for everything you can get your hands on has been consuming your life the past few weeks. You are so fast at getting around, and never seem to forget anything!

Tucker, you have stolen my heart completely away with your smiles. The other day I started singing to you while you were eating, and even though eating is one of your favorites, you took a little break to look up at me and give me a million dollar smile.

I hope I never forget that moment.

You keep Daddy and I very entertained all the time. Daddy is pretty much your favorite, but that is ok with me... Daddy is pretty much my favorite too. LOL. You cannot wait for him to get home, and when he does you just look at him and give him the biggest, cheesiest smiles I have ever seen.

Giggles are getting much more common these days. You still save them for special occasions, but that makes them all the more special.

Every day you amaze me with new tricks. The past couple of days you have figured out how to clap, and love it when I do patty cake with you when you start to clap. Oh, it is so fun! You could go on and on and have such a proud look of accomplishment all the while.

I couldn't ask for a happier, cuter, of more fun baby than you are.

I love you Chunky.

Love, Mommy
