This is late, but I wanted to make sure and get it posted for historical purposes.

We do think it’s funny that Tucker was born in Beverly Hills. It seems so extravagant compared to our humble beginnings in Union City, NJ and Escanaba, MI.
But on the other hand, he sure knows how to rock the sun glasses.
New to Tucker anyway! Big thanks to the Karnes family for bringing over this play set. Once the weather turned nice we started using it daily. Tucker really enjoys the slide, even if he has taken more than one tumble off it while trying to straighten out his legs.
Video!
Difficult angle but too good to not post.
At Ikea Mom bought a little Tucker chair that is identical to the big chair in the playroom (it’s the red chair visible in the second picture). On this day, Dad and his helpful little guy built the chair.
Tucker LOVES when he gets to play with Dad and tools. It amazes me that a 14 mo old understands how to use tools. You can’t see the screw head but he is actually lining up the screwdriver to the screw in the second picture.
SUCCESS!!!
This is a pretty common site around our house these days, Tucker signing “MORE” as in I’m hungry and want more of whatever you have. When I’m preparing dinner Tucker will often ask for more at the edge of the counter. As a result, he’s eaten just about everything: lemons, celery, blue cheese, etc.
Apologies for being out of focus, but he gets pretty demanding so it’s hard to get a good shot.
Another milestone the little guy is hurtling is feeding himself. In this case one of his favorites, (abuela’s) black beans. 🙂
And like everything else, once Tucker has done it himself there is no going back. Or taking the spoon away.
Self feeding in action:
My co-worker, friend and fellow Mom, Holly, started taking her son to the beach once a week. It’s easy to take it for granted that we live in Southern California and it’s literally five minutes away. Tucker and I agreed to go last week, we’re definitely going to try and make a habit of it.
Happy feet.
Happy lil man.
Tucker and Dad’s new game. Perfect for when you’re out at breakfast or sitting in the kitchen.
Have we mentioned at 1 year he has not only mastered walking, he sometimes runs. Just look at that confidence!
First stop on the 2011 tour to Florida was the East Coast to visit my family.

Tuckered.
The lil man meets the lil ol lady.
At Abuela’s, Tucker kept walking in to the kitchen to visit Nina. It makes sense, we spend about an hour every day in the kitchen making dinner. He loves walking up to the counter with his hand outstretched for a taste of whatever I’m cooking. Tucker always tries what I give him and only about half of the time does it wind up on the floor.
Nina thinks he’s offering her his nesting containers, but really he’s trying to trade for some pork.
Who could blame him?
The next day, the family regrouped at the hotel for more baby time and birthday presents. The Popper reigned supreme as favorite new toy.
Followed closely by the play phone. We don’t understand how Tucker already knew how to use a rotary phone or real handset being that he has NEVER seen one in his life. But he knew.
And then there were the requisite pictures. Tucker is beginning to get used to this sort of thing.
The last day before heading West to Ben’s side of the family was spent poolside in my sisters back yard. It was too cold to swim but not too close to dunk the toesies!
