Almost home...

I almost hate to post this after reading Lylac's thread, but I just have to post!

After 6 days in Florida, Tucker and I head up to the frozen tundra tomorrow to finally be together with Pixie and daddy

This child who I was told does not walk, talk or eat has not been tube feed a single ounce in two days (and he is supposed to take in a whopping 43 ounces a day (1850 calories OMG))... he has pushed my hands away so he can try to walk on his own several times (and has taken a step or two or three MANY times... and just said "up" for me to pick him up. He's old enough to be honeymooning, I guess, but I think its wonderful, even if its just because his little world is upside down and he doesn't know what to do!

Athikers - Glad things are going so well and you are headed home to be with the rest of the family! I am sure Tucker will continue to amaze you day after day....honeymoon or not, enjoy it!

Hopefully Lylac and I will be behind you shortly in bringing home our kids from FL!

We're home!

He's not too sure about his hat and mittens, but he's doing well

Pixie is being pretty clingy to mommy, I expected that since she's pretty clingy on a normal day!
