Tucker Tuesday: Weeks 21 & 22

It has been a little crazy around our house the last few weeks.  We've been busy preparing for Christmas and celebrating/spending time with my brother and sister-in-law.  A lot has been changing these last couple weeks in Tucker's world as well.  He had his 4 month check up, including shots, at the beginning of week 21.  His weight percentile was down from 77 to 48, so we were a little anxious about that.  The doctors weren't too concerned because he is meeting all of his milestones a month or two ahead of schedule.  They think that he is burning more calories because he is so active rolling over and kicking.  He has been on a growth spurt the last few days as well, so I'm feeling more at ease, too.  He's had a stuffy nose the last week or so, but it is finally getting better.  Tucker turned 5 months old on Tuesday, and it was the trickiest photo shoot so far.  I thought it was difficult to get a good picture with him kicking his legs, but now he is rolling back and forth so much that I can't even keep him in one spot!  When he was about 6 weeks old, I remember being worried that he didn't smile enough and that he was going to be a very serious baby, but now he smiles almost all the time.  We were at Costco today and one of the ladies passing out samples started talking to him, and he just couldn't wipe the smile off his face.  I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult to say "no" to that face!  Here are a bunch of pictures from the last two weeks, including a few smiles.

We spent a lot of time with Grandma and Grandpa for my side's Christmas celebration, so this was a coming sight.

When your only Auntie is a dietitian, you get organic vegetables for Christmas.  Hopefully, he likes the real thing as much as these stuffed ones.  The stuffed carrot and peas are his favorites so far.

I miss them already, but I can't wait to visit them in Washington next year!

You can't leave me alone in my bouncer anymore because I'm too big to lean back and relax.  I have to push myself forward and look around any chance I get.

I swear I have clothes that fit...

...but I'm so happy when I'm naked!!!

I'm not sure if I like this hat, but I will tolerate it for Mommy's pictures.

I can't keep a serious face for long...even in this silly hat!

Uh oh, Mommy wants me to try another hat.

This one keeps me so warm when it gets cold outside.

I don't giggle all the time.  Sometimes, I pout a little (which Mommy still thinks is pretty cute).

Watch for pictures from my 5 month photo coming soon.  It might be cuteness overload if Mommy added them to this post!

This week, we will be spending a lot of time with Jeremy's family and celebrating Christmas with them on Christmas Eve.  Then, we will celebrate with just the three of us on Christmas Day.  I will post those pictures next week and I will try to get pictures up from his 5 month photo shoot tomorrow or Monday.
