Pictures With Pumpkins

Tucker has been to the Dallas Arboretum this month twice to see the thousands of pumpkins and beautiful flowers.

Here's a pic of Tucker with his friend Grace, for more about Grace see previous post :)

Kissy Kiss

No pics for this post, just had to record Tucker's first kiss with a girl (other than Mom or other relatives, that is). It was last Friday, we were over at Annie & Grace's house. Grace is one of Tucker's friends that is a few months older than him-yes, he's going for the older women! Tucker had just given me a hug and Grace was standing there next to him so I asked if Tucker wanted to give Gracie a hug also. Well, he skipped right past the hugging stage a planted a big, open mouthed kiss on her instead! Grace got a big smile on her face and got pretty giddy afterward. We'll have to keep our eyes on those two!

And the name is...

Tess Alivia

So we finally decided on a name for our baby girl. She will be named after my little sister Tessa Ruth. When my mom was pregnant with my little sister, I told my parents that I wanted the baby to be a girl and I wanted her name to be Tess. And the name Ruth is our aunt's name. So my little sis was named by me and after her aunt also, just like our Tess Alivia.
We're so excited for her arrival! Less than 8 weeks until her due date!

Wichita Baby Showers

I went to Wichita a couple of weekends ago for Angel's baby shower and ended up coming home with much more than I expected because Saretta, Angel and Nicole threw me a surprise baby shower. This baby is now set with enough pink to last her quite awhile. Tucker and I drove to Edmond beforehand and met up with Aunt Staci and Cousin Max to make the rest of the trip with to Wichita. Tucker had lots of fun playing with Max's toys and they looked so cute giving hugs to each other.

Didn't succeed but they still deserve kisses for being so darn adorable

We caught someone getting into the chocolate

18 Month Pictures

A few weeks ago we decided to walk to Breckinridge Park and take some pics of Tucker. We had decided to invest in a better camera because our old one just wasn't cutting it with a toddler who is always on the go-it was way too slow to keep up with him! So this was our first "photo shoot" with our favorite little model.

This is definitely a familiar pose of Tucker's- it means "Pick me up!!"
