Tucker is growing like a weed. He is 7 weeks old and already wearing 3 month old outfits.
He has a strong neck and his legs are powerful. He can stand on my chest for several minutes now, with my hands only steadying him, not supporting him in any way.
This last week he figured out how to get his hand to his mouth when he wants it, so he is starting to figure out his arms too. And he is smiling now.
It is so amazing to watch him grow and explore and just study his environment.
I have a number of my better pictures hung in our living room as art, and he studies those and studies some more. In particular, he seems obsessed with portraits of Shannon and Kandy. Can't get enough of looking at those girls. Yeah, that thing where your parents laugh and say I hope you have a child just like you... Oh boy!
We are looking forward to the long 4th weekend. This was the first week with Mel and I both back at work and Tuck staying with his sitter. So its been hard on Mel and I. We are really looking forward to spending a few days with our boy again.
Hope all is well.
