A visit to baby Tucker

Yesterday was Patriot's Day, and Lena had the day off. Luke and Jaz still had preschool, though, and we happily dropped them off with planns to take full advantage of a rare opportunity to experience the lives of parents with only one kid. We packed Zeb into the car and headed out to Boston to visit Addie, Max and sweet baby Tucker. It seems like it was just a couple months ago that Addie and Max were driving out to our place to meet newborn Zeben for the first time. I can't believe it's been long enough since then for them to go through the whole process of deciding to get pregnant, getting pregnant, and birthing their own baby! Here's Addie (holding 5-day-old Zeb) and Lena back in November of 2006:
And here they are again, 17 months later, with a whole new person in the picture. Doesn't Zeben look absolutely huge compared to 10-day-old Tucker?
So far, Zeb seems to be quite taken with his new cousin. He can say his name quite well, "Tuck-er," and was especially pleased to watch him nursing (and felt inspired to do the same). Addie and Max and Tucker are all doing very well indeed, and Tucker is just the cutest little baby. I have total baby lust after hanging out with him for just a couple hours. It was so great to get to visit their sweet new family without the impact of our wild and rambunctious five-year-olds. What a nice treat for us all!
