Laughter.........

A baby's laughter is better than anything I have ever experienced. Especially if that laughter is coming YOUR baby. I have always loved babies but none more than Tucker Layne Graham. Here is a clip of what I get to experience everyday and thank you Lord and thank you Travis for allowing me the opportunity to be a stay at home mom. When there are tough times because we don't have two incomes or I have been at home for 24+ hours straight without one breathe of fresh air I will try to remember videos like this:http://youtu.be/stfjyz4MD4s

Me and Mercer on Tucker's Baby Dedication Day

Travis, me, Tucker and Pastor Steve

May 8, 2011 was my very first mother's day AND baby dedication day at Mars Hill BC. It was a VERY big day for me!! A memorable day...that's for sure!! Travis' parents and sister and my parents, brother, sister-in-law and neice were there to witness the event. It went great and Tucker behaved really well. He didn't scream or pitch a fit or mess up his clothes during the dedication(which I was worried about). I was so proud of him!!

Firsts.....

Well, today we had a first. Tucker's first swimming experience. Well, it wasn't really swimming, just dipping our feet in the water because the water at our friends the Minter's pool (thanks Chad and Molly!) wasn't quite warm enough yet to actually submerge ourselves in the water. I think we might have started shivering if we would have went for a dip in the water so we decided to just play for a few minutes in the water with our feet. Tucker seemed to not mind the water. But he didn't go crazy for it either. Maybe come August he will really be able to enjoy the pool.

He is such a cute baby! He is smiling and cooing all the time! I just enjoy every moment we all have together....except for when he is screaming his head off in the car. But I still try to just thank God for him even though this is the toughest thing I have ever done in my life. I love Travis and Tucker so much and enjoy being their favorite gal....hopefully :)

Love you all!
