Tucker turned 18 months old last week and I wanted to post a little update on him to always remember the sweetness of this age. I love when we say it’s time for prayer, Tucker puts the back of his hands together. Sometimes when he has been sitting in his high chair for a few minutes and the food is not quite ready yet, he will put his two hands together like that and call out to us. He also loves to wrestle with his brothers. If they are ever lying on the floor he jumps right on them. One of his fighting methods is to sit on them and bounce, often on their face and he is quite proud of himself because he knows they are helpless at that point. He is a total daddy’s boy. He most often prefers Sam over me and it’s so cute to see them together. Another one of Tucker’s favorite thing right now is to sit on your lap or the edge of something or even walk backwards saying “whoa, whoa, whoa” until he falls back somewhere. It is one of the funniest things we have ever seen. He also is a super expressive kid, I can’t even put into writing the way he smiles his sly little smile at us. He doesn’t talk much but he definitely shakes his head no and can say “me” when everyone else is getting something. Another thing he likes to do is say “mom, mom, mom” or “mommy” to me in the car and I turn to look at him and he just gives me a sly smile and a little game begins. As soon as I turn away he starts again. He has also recently started saying “Baby” and he sings the part of the song from the “Baby Signing Time” video and signs “Baby” while he sings it. We catch him singing it on his own off and on all day. Lately he has really taken to copying Eden, whatever she does, he tries to do it too. He is such a sweet, lovey, cuddly kid and mostly has a permanent big smile on his face but also is a bit of a risk taker, climbing on whatever he can. I can’t wait to see how these little bits we see of him turn out in his personality as he grows older. 
I didn't get a lot of pictures, but this is Rob and Julie's wedding in her brother's backyard. Sam officiated the wedding. They asked him to be funny and he did a really good job but he didn't feel like the rest of the crowd was that into it so he cut some of his material. He made it nice and sweet but said some really nice things and then when he was done he changed to his summer clothes and grilled up all the meat! He is a man of all trades and we are thinking of renting him out!
Eden and Tucker had a lot of fun there playing with their cousins, jumping on the trampoline and blowing bubbles!
Now one question, what is up with my earrings...do they really look that bright or is it just the picture? They are mixed with silver so they don't look like they stand out that much to me when I look in the mirror!
