Tucker is a little over 2 weeks. I can't believe how fast the time is going! He's doing really well and we are learning about what he needs and what his cries mean. He eats about every 3 hours. Typically he's awake for a little while after eating and then falls asleep until the next feeding. He's nursing and at first he was having a hard time latching but a couple of visits to the lactation consultant (and a lot of persistence) and now he's eating like a champ! He definitely has a set of lungs on him as he demonstrates this to us often when he's hungry or really tired. Jared is still home from school which has been such a blessing to have him here to help with everything. Our days go quickly as we try to squeeze in naps, laundry, dishes, cleaning, more laundry, etc. But, we also enjoy finding time to skype with Grandpa Don and Grandma Jane as they are in Arizona until May and going for walks (now that the weather is getting nicer!!). We have had tons of visitors and wonderful gifts of clothes and food (yum!). Tucker is already well loved and blessed by those around him.
