Happy Halloween!

While the situation SUCKS...we've enjoyed having Dada spend extra time with us this week!

 We did some awesome leaf print colorings to get into the fall mood! And because we're all missing the beautiful parkway leave change and Hendo..

We went Trick-or-Treating last night and we're going again tonight..I promise to get better pictures tonight! But Tucker is a "FEROCIOUS" PIRATE!!!!! He's just so dang cute and happy...that he isn't even scary! Although he does one heck of a "RRRRRRRRRRawRRRRRRRRR!"

The little goober is just so darn funny lately! I was talking to Zeke today while we were driving home from the Bicentennial Gardens and used the phrase "bad boy!"

I turned around just in time to see and hear Tucker say crossly while pointing is finger at Zeke, "BAD BOY! Bad Boy Dada!"

That little boy always puts a smile on my face. LOVE him..

Copycat!

Tucker is starting to repeat EVERYTHING we say!! While it is so adorable and pretty awesome to see him learn and try out a new word..we REALLY have to start watching what we say!

We were out driving this afternoon and saw a man sitting on the side of the road. Zeke made a "hobo" comment. From the backseat, we heard "HOBO! hobo HOBO hobo HoBo!!"

When Zeke does something that shocks me or when I need to get his attention or something, I always say, "Zeke!..." Lately, whenever Tucker sees Zeke or wants Zeke's attention. he does his little "Dada! Daddy! Dada dada dada dada!!" dance and jumps around. But I can always tell when Tucker has had enough because I hear a little tiny voice snap, "Zeeeke!"

While at the hospital with Zeke on Friday, I was trying to explain to Tucker that daddy was hurt and he needed to be easy with daddy's arm. I stated "Daddy has a booboo." "Booboo boo boo booboo!"

He is also entering his "NO!" and his "Yeah!" stage...its adorable.

"Uh-oh" is also a new favorite as is repeating every sound we make. "Shhh!" "Psst!" "Hey!"

Not to mention after seeing daddy peepee and having a talk about it with mommy and daddy...he proudly announced his own "peepee" and proceeded to "go peepee!! peepeeee!" in the bathtub.

Tucker adds new words to his list every day. I love it!
I think he can say over 50 words now and knows the meaning of hundreds more!
So proud of that little munchkin!

I've come to the conclusion...

..my boy likes ANYTHING with an engine. Trucks, cars, jeeps, four wheelers, mules, EVERYTHING..but especially...

TRACTORS and TRAINS!

Daddy went to VIR last weekend and since it was cold out and he was camping out, Tucker and I didn't go...So we went to Hendo for the night! Tucker was in HEAVEN...

Like a pro! 

So sweet :) 

This weekend, Tucker was determined not to let his daddy out of his sight! That even meant getting up at 5:15 every morning, just to be sure! Saturday, we took Tucker to the NC Transportation Museum. Tucker LOVED it!!!!!!! 

 The train was pretty old..everytime Zeke hit the seat, a cloud of dust flew out. Tucker thought it was the funniest thing ever!

 First train ride!

He was so thrilled! 

My boys! 

Tucker was thrilled with the train ride and all the trains and trucks we got to see! 

 Love holding my boy!

 Tucker even got his own window seat..and boy did he love looking out!!

 Tucker was seriously overly excited during this part. They had 2 giant buildings crammed full of old cars, trucks and planes. The first room in the first building was full of tiny model fire trucks..from the first ever firetruck to the modern ones. Tucker had one of his MANY firetrucks in his hand. He LOVED this. We also got to see real big firetrucks, old and new.

Not only did Tucker get a train ride, we walked through the roundhouse...he got to climb on trains... 

..and pretend to drive one!! 

 He had an amazing day!!

A tiny shot of a little bit of the roundhouse.

Tucker definitely is 110% allllll boy!

(just wait till he sees the trains, planes and trucks Santa will bring!!)

I POOP!

Tucker is growing up soooo fast! He is such an amazing little boy..love him like crazy.

This morning I was doing some dishes and he came into the kitchen. Boy did he stink! So I scooped him up and went to his room to change him. When I laid him down, I said to him, "You stinky! Did you poop!?"

Loudly and proudly (he's such a BOY!) he says, "Poop! POOP! poop! poop! poop! POOP! POOOOOP! poop! Poop! POOOOOP!"

As you can tell, he was quite proud of his poop...

This "poop convo" went on throughout the entire diaper exchange.



A few hours later, we took Zeke his lunch.

Zeke asked Tucker, "What'd you do today?"

Tucker covered his face with his hands, slowly peeked out from between his fingers grinning the biggest grin ever and announced proudly, "I POOP! poop! POOP! poop! poop! POOP poop poop POOP! Poop!"

One Day..

..I will write again. One day...when my life slows down some! haha
