Seriously, make it stop!

Y'all. What is with this time of year?! I NEVER get sick. Ever. Chris NEVER gets sick. EVER. Not only did G go 9 months without anything more than a small cold, we went his whole life (to that point) without getting sick.

NOW??

Now, we can't get healthy! The week after Christmas G got RSV. Then Chris got a terrible sinus infection. Then I caught the stomach bug. Then G got explosive diarrhea (maybe Rotavirus??) for a solid 10 days. Then I caught the stomach bug, again. Then Chris got another sinus infection. Then G decides he is going to cough all night, every night. Now I have a fever and feel like my head is going to explode.

Someone please tell me our family is not alone in the passing of the sicknesses? It doesn't help that I teach with tons of grubby (but oh so loving!) kids, and G goes to daycare, but still. Can we catch a break?!

Anyways...on a brighter note. Have you ever seen anything cuter than a baby in a bowtie? On the day of my brother's wedding G was running a fever and cutting a tooth, so he wasn't his normal perky self, but he still managed to look absolutely precious.

Graham turns ten months old TOMORROW and this picture of him is exactly how I feel. Ahhhh! I'll have his 9 month update in his 10th month :)

When you have to go to work with an impromptu topknot because you don't have time to finish straightening your hair. My 5th graders thought I was 'so trendy Mrs. Tucker!' 

Shiplap tutorial coming soon! I'm seriously still drooling over how perfect it is!

Happy Tuesday!

Baby Necessities with The Baby Cubby

I cannot believe that this week our Graham baby will be 10 months old. I haven't felt sentimental about him growing up, but this month I have all the feels. Why does time fly so fast? He was just a newborn yesterday. Chris and I were just navigating the newness of parenthood. How can this be that we are on the brink of having a one year old? Ugh, I better stop there because I'm about to get all weepy.

One thing we learned being new parents is that ordering anything online is amazing and The Baby Cubby has, literally, anything and everything you need as a new parent. The thought of getting out to a store with a newborn/baby sometimes makes my skin crawl. Will they cry? Will he have a blowout (yes, always!)? Will we have to park a mile away? 

Luckily, The Baby Cubby not only has all of the best baby gear and essentials, but they also have all the best baby accessories and apparel. 

You never think you need those famous moccasins until you get a pair and realize what they rave is all about. G has the chubbiest little baby feet and pulls off his socks and shoes the instant I put them on. But, after ordering two pairs of Freshly Picked Moccasins from The Baby Cubby, we've found a pair of shoes that Graham can't pull off, and they are comfy enough for him to wear all day long.

Chris's (And My Dad's) Hilarious Bachelor Commentary

Hi friends! We are just over here at the Tucker house trying to survive another round of sickness. Poor G baby wasn't sick for the first 9 months of his life and now he can't seem to catch a break. We snuggled a lot today and hope he is on the mend. 

Thankfully we got to end the day with The Bachelor. And, as an added bonus, my dad was here to comment along with Chris!

Enjoy!

When Raven talks about getting the one on one and Corinne not getting it - You girls are whack.

So all these girls go on a date? With him? At once? I don't get it. (Shakes head.) - Dad

Chris mocking Nick when the girl's walk up on his at the dairy farm - Hey, no big deal. You caught me...just feeding a cow.

When Kristina starts talking about falling for Nick - No. You don't stand a shot (?). 

Are we fixing to have a girl fight?

Raven's date at the skating rink - Does he get a fake ring and give it to her? Yes or no?

As Raven is talking about her worth - Ya, because if you don't value her, you'll be hit over the head with a stiletto. 

I'm going to have to start recording this. every. single. week. (Eye roll.) - Dad
