Tucker Lately

Let's talk Tucker who is exactly 3 months and 1 week old today. He is actually 3 months 2 weeks and 1 day old today. I still feel like I need to pinch myself because I'm so so lucky to have this little guy in my life. So happy I get to be his mom. :) Here is a picture from the day he was born (At the time I was adamant about NOT having my picture taken, but my best friend made me take the picture and I'm glad she did, this is real, this is what someone looks like after birthing a baby) I started the above post and forgot to submit it.....sorry So lets talk about his personality shall we, -He is a talker, he has a habit of sticking his hand in his mouth and just mumbeling all day, it's this cute deep voice unlike any i've ever heard. -He is teething i'm pretty sure because he slobbers all the time and like I said keeps his hands in his mouth. -Here is a real shocker, he is eating baby food, I know it's early but I spoke to a doctor about how Tucker watches me when I eat and opens his mouth, that doctor reccommended I try some baby food because those signs indicate that he is ready to eat, and sure enough he is ready! Opens his mouth when the spoon comes close and doesn't spit nearly as much out as I thought he would. -He is offically sleeping in his crib in his own room now. Bedtime oh where do I begin....I swear you just never know what you're going to get from day to day but MOST days we have a routine of giving him a bath anywhere from 7:30-8:30 and then lotion him up and he's usually getting a bit fussy by then because he knows he gets a bottle right after and then falls asleep. Last night that was not the case....we went on a rare family outting to the park and didn't get home until close to 8:30 so we skipped the bath, gave him a bottle and then him tummy started to hurt and he cried for 30 minutes. It. Hurt. My. Heart. I hate to hear a baby cry from pain but as a mom I could tell his stomach was hurting and and I did the best I could until it subsided. It was a night. -He is growing so fast the boy is wearing 6-12 month clothing, maybe thats a shock to me because I don't know childrens sizing too well but I know that he is wearing that size and is only 3 1/2 months old! I've got to go for now, I hope I can post more this week! -B

Self Control

I was having a conversation with my mom yesterday about eating and self control. I can't tell you how many times I have racked my brain for motivation and simple logic on how to better control myself around food. I feel like if you have self control you don't have to be on a diet all you need to do is eat what you want just don't eat so much of it and you've got the whole being healthy thing figured out. Of course it wouldn't hurt to add some good in, that has to be said. BUT I can't seem to figure out how to control my eating when it comes to sitting down and eating supper, I overeat every sinlge time. I have two kids so sitting down to eat isn't as interesting as it used to be. When I would cook meals before I would typically slave for about an hour and by the time I sat down I would eat a small amount then be too tired to eat anymore. Weird I know. Funny thing is when you spend the time cooking a meal eating it is not as interesting as eating something...

Motherhood Right Now

I wanted to start a new update on the blog called: Motherhood right now. It will be an update on parenting and what it looks like with my two little ones at the particular age and season of life we are all in. So lets getting started by saying Tuck is practically 21 months and Grant is practically 8 months old. At the moment motherhood could be easier. I have two mama's boys and tend to choose their mom over anyone else. Which could not be more sweet. For instance after teaching my workout class last night I got home and my littlest calmed right down and was happy and my oldest sat in my lap and gave me 100 kisses. On the other hand Grant cried for 45 minutes while I was gone, which breaks my heart and bothers me to know he misses me so much when I'm at work, but I also know its good for him to be with his grandparents and it's good for me to work. I would love to be with my boys 24/7 but I have to work and work is good for me, it keeps my mind busy and I get to be s...

Sweet Moments

As I sit here watching the sunrise out the window I think about how my little boy is going to be one year old soon. Things have changed so much in a year. Life has gotten so much more joyful and so much more complicated. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant with my second little boy and all I can think is I need to hold Tucker as much as I can. I'm sure I'm having every thought that goes through a moms mind when she has a second baby so close to the first. This is too soon, I need more time with my first. I'm scared to add another little rambunctious one to the mix. Will they get along? Will they fight more than they get along? What will life be like? So today I'm going to remember the sweet moments I have with Tucker, like putting him to sleep at night. I don't do this often, Josh has gotten into the routine since I have a growing belly which makes it difficult when Tucker is in a wiggle mood. But a few nights ago I put him to sleep, he feel asleep in my arms. I s...
