Originally uploaded by lauraptucker

So this is me right now, a jolly 14 month old. I love to be outside, play with Lolly, say NO, eat cheese, and run everywhere.

I can read, well sort of, when it gets to certain parts of my favorite books I know what sounds to make. Now my Nana is very impressed by this. But come on, they've been reading me these books for about 12 months. It doesn't take a genius to catch on after a year!

I love music, dancing, sliding, climbing, bath time, did I mention running everywhere.

Also incase my parents haven't noticed, I hate having my diaper and clothes changed. I would prefer it, if you would let me play with plugs. And Daddy please stop taking your wallet from me.

Have a good day! P

Could I do this?

I had to snap this pic on my camera phone at the publix parking lot.

In case you've ever been in my car, its often like riding in a suitcase, baby bag, and trashcan all at once. I'm not proud, but it is what it is.

A moment of fear....could this be me if I had a minivan?
Nah. Darrell wouldn't let it get that out of control!

Originally uploaded by lauraptucker

Is it the organic products? The cool reusable bags? The cleanliness or amazing food court?

Oh no...its the cool car buggies that completely engage and distract Pearson Tucker! No whinning! Just cruising!

Not only do they entertain P, but they also turn on a dime. Now if you've used a Publix car buggy, you know the difficulty in making a turn. It usually involves knocking over a display and running into the single guy who is not sympathetic to a mom just trying to buy groceries.

So thank you Whole Foods for such a lovely buggy, and we will be back when Lolly is out of food! Sadly our budget prohibits us from using you for the bulk of our groceries.

You get what you pay for....Publix we will be driving your ghetto buggy soon!

so I need to work on my posting method

Today Pearson and I enjoyed the warm winter weather with a visit to the park. He enjoyed swinging, climbing up the slide, and picking up rocks! We went to the park at my mom's school, so it was completely empty.

I think Pearson is trying to learn how to tickle...when he sees bare skin he grabs and smiles, which is quite funny.
He also enjoys directing as in music..he doesn't have any bossy genes, so I'm not sure why he wants to direct?
Anyhoo, it is very funny to watch him swing both arms when music plays...our little maestro.

Ill post birthday and Christmas pictures soon!

My new year's resolution...post more!

Boston Trip

2008-10-06T21:11:00.005-05:00

I'm blogging from Boston, MA on Marlbrough Street a block over from Newbury Street while visiting my friends, Emalee and Mark Holmes. Their dog, Jackson, has been very kind to allow Pearson to completely invade his space. Pearson is accustom to Lolly's love (licks), so he keeps leaning into Jackson with his mouth open wide. Jackson is a well behaved dog unlike the Lolly girl, thus Pearson has not received very many kisses, which should make his NeNe, Nana, and Granny pleased!

Pearson made his first flight on Saturday morning and was perfect! He smiled over the seat at a partner from Darrell's firm, which was a relief. He really knows how to put on the charm when needed. We arrived Saturday afternoon and strolled around Beacon Hill, the Public Common, and then went back to the Holmes to enjoy delicious pizza.

On Sunday we enjoyed brunch at Masa. Kat was in Boston for a wedding and was able to join us, which was quite a treat. I'll see her twice in one week! Then we strolled and shopped around the Holmes neighborhood. Em had cute little cupcakes to celebrate my birthday. Red Velvet with cream cheese icing and a candle to celebrate 29 and holding until I'm 39 and holding!

On Monday, we headed to North End for a oysters at Neptune! Em tried her first slimly delicacy and opted to never eat an oyster again. Then we walked a block to burn some calories before indulging in sweet treats from Mike's Pastries, home of the best cannoli ever. So in honor of the best cannolis ever, Em ate Boston Cream Pie and I ate Tiramisu. Darrell was disappointed with our choices. He truly loves the cannoli and cannot find one that compares to Mike's anywhere south of the Mason Dixon!

Boston is a beautiful city bustling with people strolling, walking dogs along the cobblestone sidewalks. The shopping is fantastic and the food is divine! Pearson and I have truly enjoyed our trip

Pearson almost 10 months old

2008-09-03T11:05:00.007-05:00

Picture Posting Difficulties... Okay, so I tried to hold up my end of the bargain. However the pictures won't upload. I'll try to get pictures posted today or tomorrow!!!

Today Pearson started Mother's Day Out, so I have time to blog. Also I made a pact with me SIL that I would post by Wednesday. I feel like my college days waiting until the last minute to write the paper that is due.

Well Pearson has been a busy bee as usual. He is all over the place. He opens and closes every door. We laugh because Pearson's Fisher-Price is pots, plans, spoons, magazines, blackberries (not the best choice, since now it no longer works). He loves the Lolly dog and pets her as much as possible. He loves to give her treats. She loves him too!!

He loves to swim, swim, swim! He loves to swing at the park. He loves to eat cheerios and other foods with his fingers.

Over the past couple of months he has been to the beach, the lake, the pool, Atlanta, and Thomson. He has played with friends. Seen his Uncle John who just moved to Missouri.

He is almost a year old... only 2 more months!

At 9 months he maintained his 75th percentile physique...he was almost 22 lbs, 28.5 inches long, and still has a head in the 50th percentile!

He is a sweetheart in everyway. He loves to smile, talk, spit his water out and make bubbles, he flirts, but most of all he likes to GO GO GO!!!

Here are some pics of this little ball of energy! He is one silly sweet goose!

The definition of crazy...

2008-08-04T14:15:00.003-05:00

Being crazy is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. I am afraid I have some crazy friends and family who check this blog all too often expecting to find new pictures. Sorry I have made you crazy. Birds of a feather flock together, so the crazy factor probably makes us friends!

Well today friends and fam you are not crazy!! There are some new pics courtesy of Kat's camera.

So here are a few pics from the beach with Leigh Annie, Kat, and Mary Les... what a blast!

After a 7 hour trek, 2 long stops, a million cheerios and traks of Bible songs, Pearson and I arrived at the cutest little blue house in PBC (thanks to the Greene's). We had a blast on the beach and hanging out with the girls and Pearson.

What wonderful friends!!!!!

Beach Baby...well more like pool baby!

2008-06-24T12:56:00.003-05:00

Pearson enjoyed his second trip to the beach. He like the swimming pool, but not the ocean. Hopefully it will grow on him.

Six months and moving!

2008-05-29T14:40:00.004-05:00

Pearson is on the go!

Eating blocks yummy!

Not quite sure about ocean water... it is cold!

On the balcony with Mom and Dad

I am 6 months...crawling, clapping, pulling up, eating carrots, sweet potatoes, rice cereal, apples, bananas, squash... I don't like green beans! I have 4 teeth up top and 2 on the bottom... I can sit up, squeal with delight, and I most definitely know my name! Sadly I am becoming quite the big baby boy!

I love my veggies... look I can hold the spoon myself!

Watch me go...I am all over the place

A little attention for the Lolly girl! Her uncle John tried to train her in his short visit.

Boating with Granddaddy... The boat just lulled me to sleep...This life jacket should be able to keep me afloat!

Pearson Picture Post

2008-04-23T17:29:00.000-05:00

Oh the wonderful sounds Mr. Brown can do....

2008-04-18T15:11:00.002-05:00

He can make a sound like a cow. He can Moo! You know it? I can quote it!!

Let's see what has happened, since I last penned- typed!

Darrell went to the practice round of the Masters with his dad. Pearson saw 3 of his great grandmothers, 1 great PawPaw, his NeNe, his Sonny, and his Aunt P, as well as his cousin Jackson in Georgia---lots of love!

Pearson helped his Great Granny celebrate her 80th birthday.

I visited my best friends from college, Kat, Leigh Ann, Mary Leslie, and Andy;
while Nana, NeNe, Sonny, and Great Granny babysat Pearson. Yes it does take that many grandparents to watch the little one. He is a handful!

Pearson is eating rice cereal like a champ. He is close to crawling, which is a bit scary. He loves to scream in a high pitched tone... with delight! He rolls and and rolls and rolls!

He went to the church nursery for the first time! He was a lamb... I guess he enjoyed it! According to the sweet nursery workers, he did scream. Not the face turning red, mouth wide open, can't catch his breath scream that he often uses on his NaNa and Daddy.

He ate a lovely lunch at Houston's with his cousin Marion in Atlanta and his kind cousin Pete walked him around and around outside. Pearson loves the birds and the trees.

His Granddaddy or as I call him, GrandDP babysat solo!

We celebrated the soon to arrive Hudson Bussey with a diaper and wipe shower!

I attempted to introduce Jackie and Courtney to the southern classic, Shag! I hope those of you reading this blog are familiar... "We can have a good time, but we cannot be wild."

Finally... we have enjoyed many delicious lunches out to eat with friends and strolled many a time to the new Edgewood Creamery... a little plug for nursing... you should do it! That way you can still lose weight and eat ice cream!!!

So the main event... pictures!
Celebrating Granny's 80th Birthday!!! Granny can't wait to move to B'ham, so Pearson can crawl down her new hardwood hall!

Pearson is a very serious young man... he really focuses when playing in his exersaucer!

Yum, Yum, Yummy in my Tum, Tum, Tummy! Pearson's first encounter with cereal.

Pearson played so hard he just fell asleep. I went into the bedroom to put on my tennis shoes for us to stroll. I walked into the den to discover a tuckered out wee one.

Pearson and his Great Grandmother Pearson checking each other out in the nursing home.

I spotted Pearson with a celebrity... Paige Tucker, ABC Anchor.

Happy Easter!

2008-03-23T16:35:00.006-05:00

Today is my favorite holiday! I love Easter, because it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ! He's alive! Although I love Christmas too, and it is probably the preferred holiday of most. I simply love that Easter celebrates Jesus Christ life, death, and resurrection! It is somewhat free from the hype of travel, presents, and the hectic months of preparation that we have all been sucked into by the world in regards to Christmas.

So Happy Easter! Just enjoy the beautiful day and celebrate the power of the cross!

Here are some pictures of Pearson...
Family Easter Photo

Happy Easter... here I am looking oh so happy to have my picture snapped!

Me and Daddy chillin' on the floor at the lake!

I've got my lake hat on and am ready to hit the boat with my GrandDP.

Happy Birthday to my Sonny! We had a great time celebrating your 50th!

Chewing on my rings with my GrandDP. I am having teething issues... my poor little gums!

Pretty me! These are two of the wonderful pictures that my Aunt CoCo took. THANKS for being my personal photographer!
I love to chew on my clothes... I revert back to I am having teething issues.

Look at my little blue eyes sparkle :) Thanks for getting my best angles CoCo!

Am I half-hearted?

2008-03-04T11:13:00.007-06:00

Well as usual I am posting again after a 2 week sabbatical. I was so passionate about the blog at one time. Has my love for blogging grown cold??? I wonder.

I really do want to share with our friends and family the exciting -I don't use exciting lightly- details of our lives!

So what have we been up to over the past two weeks.

Well my house is no longer spotless, but it is clean and somewhat organized. Darrell is probably shouting... organize the bedroom!

Pearson got to meet our dear friends Mel and Matt and Mel's fam!

We actually had three different couples over for dinner on three different nights... so that means my house must be looking somewhat decent!

Our church had a missions conference.

Pearson and I ate Moe's BBQ twice in the same week! I think it is my new favorite place to eat! I love the Mac N' Cheese!

A BIG Day for Pearson was his baptism. The fam came in town, which was very special!

And because the fam was in town... Paige who is a celeb in Augusta, Georgia invited a local TV personality to eat dinner with us on Saturday night! Yes NBC 13 HD's very own Bettina Boateng! I thought that was pretty cool!

Better late than never... we took this picture of Pearson, but for some reason Pearson never posted it! I've been getting onto him about his posting. He really needs to take his blogging serious!

Daddy and Pearson watching some golf on Sunday afternoon. Lucky for Pearson his Daddy is holding him. Mom doesn't allow TV.

Wow this is what an exersaucer is! Pearson's first use of his exersaucer. He loves it!

Family photo before the baptism. Yes I know Pearson is wearing a dress or a gown to be perfectly proper. This is the last one... Daddy dearest isn't fond of his little man in girly garb!

Here is Pearson prior to his sprinkling being held by Dr. Hay. If your screen shows it, he had a bath that morning so his mullet and the rest of his hair has some really nice volume!

The fam for a photo... sadly his Granny and Aunt Kathy were down the street house hunting... that could fill a whole blog!

Isn't he cute in his little blue bubble! This was his post baptism outift a little more manly... well a little more boyish!

It's about time!

2008-02-13T13:29:00.006-06:00

Admit it... you're only reading for the pics, but I thought I would catch you up on our little lives.

So it has been almost a month since I last blogged (admittely it is because we don't have the internet at our house nor cable. I can just feel some of you cringing! We may join the 21st century sometime next year).

A lot has happened! Pearson turned 3 months and his NeNe had a surprise 50th Birthday party. He went to the lake for the first time, and Lolly finally got to go again.

Our friends Scott and Laura visited.

MY HOUSE WAS CLEAN... as in spotless... thanks Mom! This doesn't happen that often!

Pearson made his first visit to Oxford, MS where he enjoyed watching me eat Ajax!

Pearson rolled from his back to his stomach... twice... he has tried thousands!

He has started sleeping almost through the night... waking only once! YEAH!!!! In fact on Monday night he slept from 9:30 until 5:30 and then went back to sleep until 7:30... What a refreshing feeling!

He has taken more bottles... mastering none... we're still working on that!

So here is the what you came for... pictures people... pictures!!!

Pearson loves sleeping on his daddy... this was before he loved sleeping through the night!

3 months and growing strong!

Here is a picture of the nursery. I know some people have not seen it.

Why do you constantly take my picture mom? (or why don't I share the ones I take on this blog...hahaha!)

All cozy in Oxford, MS!

Surprise NeNe!!! Happy Birthday!

The picture you have all been waiting for... The Mullet shot! Yes our child is a card carrying member of the mullet club. For more pics of the cutest mullet on earth log onto www.mullet.com (just kidding)!

Snow in Birmingham!

2008-01-22T16:21:00.000-06:00

Pearson's first snow. I know our neighbors thought about calling DHR as we took pictures of Pearson in the snow. Sorry they aren't closer up.

The media can definitely create a frenzy. In Alabama news stations create excitement and chaos out of inclement weather. The Pig benefited as everyone ventured out to stock up on milk, canned goods, and other warm snacks to enjoy. Also hardware stores and sporting goods stores carrying sleds finally emptied the inventory!

Now I will take a shot at the national media and their desire to create frenzy in the hearts of Americans... they choose to continue to use the dreaded "R" word... as Darrell says, "stop saying it"... Recession! Yes! People we have had one month of decline and the media wants everyone to know we are in a Recession. On Sunday, Ben Stein said that it takes 6 solid months of a decline to become a true recession. So come June we may be in a recession, that means we will have to hear the "R" word for 6 more months. The power of the media!

I think the media will also have Hilary Clinton leading a civil rights march right into the White House just in time to stop the glaciers in Greenland from overflowing the earth!

"He slept well last night!"

2008-01-14T17:10:00.000-06:00

This is a picture less post, which I am sure will not sit well with those of you who only read for the Pearson pics. You can skip my below rant!

"He slept well last night!" My favorite quote from my favorite person, my husband! Darrell is a sweet husband and wonderful dad. He tries to be so helpful, and is great at baths. He is also quite possibly the heaviest sleeper you'll ever sleep with (not that you would be sleeping with him.)

Every morning Darrell rolls over and says, "He slept well last night!" Now this is sometimes, but most always never true!

Sleeping... giving your baby the gift of sleep... I will gladly give it!

We mastered the art of the napping during the day. Or for those of you Baby Wise followers the "Eat, Wake, Sleep" pattern. Pearson can eat with the best of them (its all in his thighs). He can stay awake delightfully for a while, and then fights sleep like a champ!

So now his mom keeps her eyes open all the time! When will this little bundle of joy ever sleep through the night!

I love the comments from the mothers blessed with sleeping babies.

"Well my baby slept through the night at 4 weeks. I had him on a strict schedule it works. Just let him cry it out!" (Maybe she should sleep a night with Pearson's lungs)

Other comments... "Babies sleep once they are 12 pounds" (Well this 13 pounder isn't!)

"Oh she sleeps through the night from 10 to 4" (By the way she is only 3 weeks old :)

Can't fault them! They are just blessed.

One day, one glorious day or should I say NIGHT! I will get 6 uninterrupted hours of sleep. Then I will not need the extra makeup under my eyes to trick everyone into believing I am well rested.

My sweet friend gives me hope. Her baby slept at three months! In two weeks Pearson will be 12 weeks, which is three months, which is over the 12 pound threshold, and he will have been following Baby Wise... eat, wake, sleep for quite sometime!

My dreams called... they miss me!

10 Weeks and growing...

2008-01-13T16:52:00.001-06:00

Pearson with his blue elephant in his cute little outfit and sweater. This is Pearson after church. He then went to his first and hopefully last bridal tea. Until he is the groom picking up the gifts. We definitely don't want him to make it a habit of attending such feminine events.

Pearson on his play gym. After avoiding love (code for licks... don't tell his grandmothers or his great grandmothers they will have a fit...hahaha) from Lolly, he was enjoying rolling from his stomach to his back. I wanted to make a video, but of course he stopped just when I started recording.

Pearson turns 10 weeks tomorrow! He is a large boy weighing in at 13 lbs and 4 oz. He goes this week for his 2 month check up, and we will know percentiles. Here is a video... Pearson playing on his changing pad, which is for some reason one of his favorite places to play. He is talking... I am not sure if the sound came through. I think all you can hear is me, which is embarrassing!

What is he? A parrot?

2007-12-31T09:48:00.000-06:00

"Are you a pretty boy?" If you say this to Pearson, he will smile on cue. It is one of his tricks... which is one more than Lolly can perform. (I love you Lolly, but you never have been one for tricks).

So yes... are you a pretty boy, does sound like we are talking to a parrot. It is still cute to see him smile.

Here he is in fact responding to the are you a pretty boy question.

Pearson's First Christmas

2007-12-25T17:10:00.000-06:00

Pearson with Santa... Please tell me how he can sleep through Santa, but not the night???

Pearson with his Great MaMa

Pearson Christmas morning in Birmingham.... his uncle John gave him a chicks dig me onesie... he better not be attracting any chicks yet.

Pearson had a full and exciting first Christmas! Here are some pictures from our time in Social Circle, Thomson, Appling, Augusta, and Birmingham. Pearson is quite the traveling man.

He was fortunate enough to see 3 out of 4 Great Grandmothers! What a blessing. He saw the other Great Grandmother last weekend.

He received lots of wonderful gifts!

Merry Christmas!

I am losing my protection....

2007-12-05T18:51:00.000-06:00

Pearson turned one month old today! Wow! And he is losing his protection as our pastor would say. That is the polite way to say, "I am balding." It is funny how a one month old goes through all the same stages of life as an teenager, a middle aged man, and an elderly person. He has acne, is losing his hair, and has to have his diaper changed.

Oh well, soon enough he will pass through this stage. Sad for those men out there that are stuck without their protection.

Enjoy this pic... he is fully clothed. I with poor judgement posted the oh so cute pic of him in the bath tub. For those of you who didn't see it, I can email it to you.

Que Hora Es?

2007-12-04T14:06:00.000-06:00

I may not be able to tell you the date, but I am keenly aware of the time! I could tell you the time using the old fashion method a watch or a clock, but that is so boring. I have other methods for time telling. Unfortunately, it does not involve watching where the sun is in the sky. However I can do that at the beach.
I can tell you what time it is because... the Today Show comes on at 7:00 and ends at 11:00 followed by the local news. Now from 12-2 there are an assortment of game shows; including Mr. Peterman hosting Family Feud and a double dose of Meredith Vieira on Millionaire. Beginning at 2:00 the ever so gracious (I hope you sense the sarcasm) Martha Stewart followed by the hilarious Ellen. Many of you probably watch Oprah; I don't really like to watch Oprah. However that means it is 4:00. You get the drift. However without TV, I can still tell you the time because Pearson likes to eat every 2 hours, so I am keenly aware of the time. And if I forget he will let me know!
Would you like me to give you the run down of middle of the night TV schedule?

Okay Okay... it is just so funny how life changes when you have a baby!

How 'bout them dawgs!

2007-11-24T18:48:00.000-06:00

The Georgia Bulldogs pulled out another victory over the Yellow Jackets! Unfortunately, we received no help from Kentucky! BCS bound... let's hope UGA ends up at the sweetest of bowls!

Pearson was ready to cheer on the dawgs in his 'Lil Fan outfit. Compliments of his sweet friends Jennifer and Jeff!

The extra hour of Today

2007-11-22T16:42:00.000-06:00

The attached photos were taken during our morning ritual of watching the Today Show in its entirety. Something I had never done until Pearson arrived. My plan was for this to be a time to catch up on lost sleep, but Pearson had different plans. So this time consists of baby talk, diaper changing, and feeding!

I like the blurry picture of him smiling. Of course I claim he is totally smiling at me, what an advanced baby!

Turkey Day...

2007-11-22T16:18:00.001-06:00

Today Pearson celebrated his first Thanksgiving! He enjoyed hours of being held, sleeping, and his favorite activity eating! Darrell was the chef of the day preparing a smoked bird on the Egg. It was delicious!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Pearson truly enjoys bath time!
Here he is chillin' after his bath.

UGA good luck charm!

Pearson arrived just in time for his first UGA game! AU v. UGA! He was a good luck charm for the dawgs. Although he was zonked out for most of the game, he did wear his UGA hat to cheer the Dawgs onto victory! Hopefully he'll have the same effect on Kentucky and Tech!

Pearson Goes Home

2007-11-10T13:48:00.001-06:00

Pearson came home from the hospital Thursday afternoon. Although he didn't like his car seat at first, he quickly fell asleep (probably due to the smooth driving of his dad).

*** We're having technical difficulties posting pictures of this event. As soon as we figure out what's wrong, we'll post the pics!

The Broadway Blog Begins

2007-07-12T21:32:00.000-05:00

The blogging begins about life on Broadway. With Baby Boy Tucker on the way, currently life still revolves around chocolate lab, Lolly. She is more spoiled than she is cute, which is hard to believe.

She has a best friend, LuLu. LuLu is the Boston Terrier next door. I said I would never be one of those obsessed pet owners that treat a dog as if it is a person, but I am afraid I have fallen into that trap! So you will now hear about Lolly and LuLu as if the are people not pets!

Lolly and LuLu were instant friends. The only thing that separated the two was a simple chain length fence. This fence was no match for the two friends. With Lolly's strength and digging skills and LuLu's size, they were quickly able to bend the fence just enough for LuLu to squeeze under the fence. Ah, friends together forever!

Well... until big girl, Lolly, decides she'll wedge her 75 lb. body under the fence too. The only problem is Lolly can only fit under the fence one way, and the gate on the other side does not remain locked. That only leaves one option for a lab named Lolly. Let's go for an adventure around the neighborhood.

Lucky for Lolly Broadway is full of nice neighbors; including those that live next door and are the proud owners of LuLu. They gladly caught Lolly in the act of escaping and placed her safely back in our yard.

After lining the fence with steel stakes, only LuLu can squeeze her petite body under the fence. So she visits daily to play and to take her seat beside Lolly on the couch.

Okay, so that may be a boring blog. However that is life on Broadway!
Most everyone meets one or all of the below requirements:
Has a dog
Has a jogging stroller
Has a red ryder wagon

First blog entry.... let's hope they improve!
