Wordless Wednesday

Gray days are good!

This is Grayson's new take on the 'milk mustache'...

It's the 'milk nose'!!

Yes, we love Gray days around here! He has been such a wonderful and smiley addition to our family! He is now eight months and really starting to move! He sure brightens up our family!

So, it's been a while since I've been on here. Time flies for me, and even when I'm not having fun! I am preparing for Luke's 4th birthday in a couple weeks and really not believing this day has come. He is a little man now. We are having 'school' a couple days a week now and he has officially learned to write the letter 'L'. He said 'L' was better than 'A' since it's in his name, so, I went with it :)

Hope you are all doing well and keeping busy for Jesus! I'll be back soon with more pics - I promise. No, really, I promise! :)

Perfect Pose

Now sit nice and smile, Gray!

Cross your feet... say "Maaa-mma"

(love that bib!)

Happy Humpday!

My Itty Bitty

I am VERY behind on posting about Gray's last 14 weeks of life, but I am working on it! I am enjoying blogging much more these days as I don't feel I have to but really want to! There are so many times I think of something funny or clever and then never get around to posting about it but I am working on writing things down so I don't forget. How time flies!

Here are a couple pictures I took recently. I always seem to hit 'click' right before or after the smiles!

He has changed so much in this short span of time. He is very alert and is already laughing and talking!

He can be very serious at times and then very silly at other times.

He loves his big brother's attention and tries to play along with them sometimes.

His hair is coming in but is still a mystery as to what color it might change to. Another blondie? Maybe darker? Will SOMEONE look like me already??? :)
He's a "Tucker", that's for sure!


Thank you, Jesus, for my itty bitty!


I so love this itty bitty with every bitty of my heart!

Grayson has been doing great at sleeping, my best sleeper yet! He takes 3 sometimes 4 naps a day and is sleeping between 9-10 hours a night. I'm doing my best at keeping him on a schedule even with all the business we have but I have to praise the Lord and thank my grandma for praying for a good sleeper!

I went in to check on him during one of his naps on my bed and found this...

I can relate to this most days :)

Wordless Thursday

Hey, I can be a day late, right?

Happy Thursday! Have a great day!

Love, Mary & Gray

(and the other two blondies)

My New Favorite Color

Gray

Grayson / Old English

meaning: "son of the gray-haired man"

I guess the name is a sign of things to come... :) I heard this name while in high school and it always stuck with me but I never thought I would actually name one of my sons this name. Since we didn't know the gender of this pregnancy, it was hard for us to choose just one name for each gender, so we kept a few in mind. Once he was born, we struggled over the names we liked and finally decided at 11:45pm on the first day of his life. I told Sonny we couldn't let him go a whole day with no name. "Baby" wasn't cutting it for me :)

The fun thing I like about this name for this child is that he was born the day before Father's Day and the 'son' in Grayson reminds me of Sonny. It is kinda fitting for Sonny to have a 'son' close to Father's Day and maybe we'll call Grayson "Sonny" as a nickname in the future. We'll see about that, but for now, he's "Baby Gray". Zach just calls him "Baby". Luke on occasion will call him by his full name and sometimes add "Landscaping" to the end of it, seeing as he thinks the word 'landscaping' should be said after "Tucker" every time (that's Daddy's business' name for those who don't know). The boys are enjoying every day with Gray, giving him tons of kisses and letting me know when he's crying and hungry or wants a chocolate muffin. Well, that last one is when Luke wants a chocolate muffin but he thinks he can use Grayson's crying to get one for himself. Funny, their little minds.

The infamous "Tucker Toe" as we call it. Each one of our boys has a slanty pinky toe just like Sonny and many of the Tucker aunts and uncles. After the birth of Luke, it's a funny thing that we looked for immediately after the birth of Zach and now Gray.

This picture was taken shortly after his bath. He is being held by Aunt Dee Dee. My sister is the awesomest sister when it comes to being there for me in the hospital. For each of the boys births, she came to the hospital beforehand to sit and talk with me and take pictures of the 'before' and then also stayed with me a while after to get pictures of the baby for me so I could just relax, assured I would get cute pics of my baby! Gray was born at 1:49 a.m. on Saturday 6/19. My sister stayed until 5am making sure all was okay before leaving. Sonny was sick that weekend and left a little while after Gray was born to go home and rest. Thanks, Dee, for being there for me and for being my photographer!

All's well that ends well! Third time was a charm!


Thanks to everyone who sent cards and emails! God is so good, having blessed us with a third baby and our third boy. I remember in the past, saying I wouldn't mind having all boys. Be careful what you wish for!



Come back soon for more pictures and info on our latest addition!
