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!
