Tucker Turns ONE!

HAAAAAAAAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY TUCKER!
My Tuck turned 1 year old on January 4th. Wow how this year has FLOWN by!! So much has happened in his little life.
He survived a year virtually unharmed living with Jackster
He grew 4 whole teeth!
He has the rolliest, most squeezable thighs ever
He has got the mullet growth down
He moved to Virginia
At one year old, Tuck loves to laugh and be sneaky. He loves yogurt and granola bars and playing with his older brother. He can be entertained for an hour emptying out my Tupperware and strategically spreading it throughout the downstairs. He's very good at climbing stairs and is getting good at balancing his chubby little body on 2 legs.
He is so active and wiggly and absolutely impossible to dress or even catch for that matter. My favorite nicknames he acquired this year are "little worm", "slithering salamander" and "ATV".
Overall, Tuck is the sweetest most wonderful baby that ever existed. (Well, tied for first). He is so happy and incredibly easy to love. Happy first birthday sweetest!!











We had a birthday celebration for Tuck at the cabin in Tennessee with his cousins and aunts and uncles. He had lots of help opening his presents, but his parents (ah hem) out of sheer laziness, chickened out of giving him his smash cake just yet. So we celebrated again on his actual birthday where he got to open a present from his Aunt Tina and Uncle Chris and eat his very own donut cake! (YES! I for once baked something without it being a total disaster!) He loved loved his cake and was positively giddy shoving it into his mouth.
