Cooper's 3!

I can't believe it's Cooper's 3 today! Time flies by too fast. We gave the boys donuts before daycare to celebrate this morning. Cooper has chosen the "jumpy house" for tonight. I'm making cupcakes today. This being at home thing is great, so I can do things like have time to make cupcakes. I made them for Ken's birthday last week...they turned out okay. I'm also taking Tucker out to get Cooper's present today. He's getting a new comforter for his big boy bed, a puzzle (he loves them) and a Winnie the Pooh bean bag chair.

Vacation Bible School is this week, we are just going to skip it tonight, but the boys have had a good time. They sing the songs all the way home in the car, and tell me about the bible stories they learned. Cooper has a little separation anxiety at first. He knows I'm working registration in the lobby, so he's come out crying a few times, but he eventually gets back into class...he really likes doing the crafts. He was very proud of his telescope the first night.

Morning

Great morning so far. Slept in with Tucker. Grilled some chicken for later tonight. Experimenting with dehydrating pineapple, getting laundry done, now Tucker is back asleep for a cat nap. He is TOO cute sleeping here next to me on his tummy (no worries, I'm watching him!) with his knees tucked up under him and his butt up in the air!

Tucker

Tucker Jackson Moss was born April 29, 2010 at 8:29 pm, weighing 8 pds, 11 ounces. I certainly cannot recap the past 8 weeks, so I'll just start from here. I am out on maternity leave this summer. James is going to floyd knight summer program, and Nathanael and Cooper are at Abundant Life daycare while I stay home with Tucker. Of course he is not on any kind of schedule yet, so I didnt want to try and keep the older boys home, knowing I need to sleep when the baby does, and I would hate to keep the older boys from doing fun things bc Tucker is asleep or whatever. They are all having fun. Ken and I take all the boys swimming about 4 days a week over at his parents house in the evenings when Ken gets off work. I've taken Tucker for a little dip twice. He likes the water. James and Nathanael are good little swimmers! They can swim down to the bottom of the deep end, and Cooper wears floaties, but is not scared.
Tucker had his 2 month shots today. there is nothing more pitiful than seeing your little man in pain like that. The screaming hits me right in my soul. He was fussy for awhile right after, then he finally calmed down when I nursed him, then he's been asleep for about 4 hours, which means he'll most likely be up all night. Oh well! He is 8 weeks, 23 inches long, and 11 pounds, 14 ounces. He's at the 50th percentile for height and weight. I knew he was perfect! I try to remember back to when Cooper was just a few months old, and i can hardly remember...time goes by so fast, and they grow so fast. Cooper is potty training now...has't had an accident in over a week, so I'd say he's doing great!
