Being a Big Sister

Lilly loves being a big sister. She is always wanting to hold Ivy. She even will wake Ivy up when she's sleeping so she can hold her. I don't think Lilly can wait till Ivy is big enough to play with.

Christmas with the Tucks

This year we had Aaron's parents up for Christmas.Lilly recieved quite a haul! It was so fun having the Tuck up. Lilly asked for them about 5 minutes after they left. I don't think she'll be able wait till May when Aaron graduates.

All things Christmas

This December has been a busy one but a fun one! Lilly is now just the perfect age to be excited for all Christmas things.

Last Bit of Pregnancy

Due to some camera malfunction I wasn't able to put these on sooner. But we took these the last few days of my pregnancy with Ivy. It's kind of funny to look back on it now since Ivy is such a big part of our lives.

Ivy Mae Tuck

Ivy Mae Tuck joined our little family on December 3rd, 2012. I was induced at 8am and by 3pm she was born.We hit a little bit of a rough patch after I had the epidural where my blood pressure lowered and then Ivy's heart rate lowered. But after she was born we both did much better. She weighed 7lbs 3oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. She is a big eater and is very alert. We all love her so much!

Halloween

This Halloween was so much fun! Lilly loved the whole Trick-or-Treat idea. We went to both malls, the Trunk-or-Treat, and a few houses. Aaron decked out our car for the Trunk-or-Treat and had fun scaring all the kids that reached in for candy. At one point Lilly saw Aaron with the mask on his face and was very concerned for her daddy. So she climbed in the car and scared kids too. We also painted my belly and of course we had to paint Lilly's as well.

Carving Pumpkins

This weekend we carved our pumpkins with 2 other families from our ward. I scooped out one of the pumpkins but Aaron carved both Lilly's and mine since we're not very good in that area. He did such a good job!
