Time Flies When You Are Having Fun

Really, where does time go? We celebrated Tucker's 6-Month Birthday today. It seems like only yesterday that we were introducing him to Caroline. He is a gem of a child.

The six things we love about Tucker: 1) His sweet giggles that make anyone smile; 2) how much he adores his big sister and watches and smiles at her with amazement; 3) that he started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks and is such a wonderful sleeper {even when two new teeth popped in over the weekend – who knew}; 4) how he conveniently spits up on my "dry clean only" attire just as I'm about to walk out the door {I'm beyond counting on two hands the number of times this has happened – and you wonder why I'm always running 10 minutes late}; 5) he is the definition of a good baby; 6) he's the best little snuggler.

“Tucker” William Shattuck Couch

He has arrived! William Shattuck Couch graced us with his presence on Monday, April 26 at 2:36 p.m. It was an easy, breezy labor {much better than the three hours of pushing with Caroline} and we are beyond delighted. Words cant express the happiness we are feeling right now!

Our little Picasso

The Smell of Freshly Sharpened Pencils. Caroline has discovered the pencil sharpener. I'll admit, I'm a little compulsive about needing to use a freshly sharpened pencil or my preference of pen in the bic micro black pen so I shouldn't be surprised that she would go through a period where she wants to color with a handful of freshly sharpened pencils. Picasso better watch out. The rum,rum, rum of the pencil sharpener is probably a sound here to stay for a while. Here she is showing Nane her perfect marks.
