18 weeks! What fun!

We have had a fun couple of weeks with Tucker! Everyday there seems to be something new! He has become increasingly more talkative---well with baby babble that is! He just screams to be heard! He also does this thing where he gathers spit at the back of his throat and uses it to make sounds! All the time!!! We put his jumperoo together today! He is still a little small for it but seemed somewhat interested! Once he can actually reach the toys I am sure he will love it even more! He is also EXTREMELY close to rolling over from his tummy to his back! I mean so close to where his butt is in the air and his knees are on the ground and he is tilted somewhat to the right! We are just WAITING! I think he is so close because he gets soo mad that he is on his tummy! He absolutely hates it! But in the past when I have put him on his tummy during a short nap while I am doing stuff around the house, he loves it and sleeps well! Whatever!!! :) He is drooling everywhere--so much that we have to change his outfit almost 3 times a day! He puts his whole fists in his mouth and then puts his hands everywhere! He also loves to gnaw on Grant and I! We have drool all over us most of the time! A couple of weeks ago we got this whale tub for bathtime! He loves it and loves to splash in the water! He also continues to love his changing table and is so excited when he is on it, even in the middle of the night! He continues to be somewhat unpredictable in the middle of the night about what time he will wake up! Lately, he has gone to bed between 9 and 10 and has then been waking up anywhere between 4:30 and 5:45. He usually goes back to bed or comes and sleeps with us for the rest of the morning after he eats! He has also been laughing! It is soo cute and something we have both been looking forward to hearing! He is definitely ticklish and we love to tickle him! Poor thing! But we can't help it because we love to hear him laugh! He still loves to hold our hands when we feed him as well as rub our chests when we rock him! He is just soo sweet! I was told by my friend who took care of him the other night that we have a perfect and easy baby! We are so proud of him! We have decided to prolong putting him in Kids Day Out! Everything is working out so perfectly that we think we will either enroll him this upcoming Spring or Summer session! But for now, we don't feel as if we need it! These are just a few of the many things that are going on in our lives with Mr. Tucker! I will post pictures soon! We love being parents to our wonderful little man(who looks just like his daddy)!
