Oh Quinn, you truly are
our sunshine! Your smile and your eyes bring constant light to our lives.
I can't even remember a time without you in our family and the joy that
you bring to all of us. You have each one of us wrapped around your little
finger (even if a certain little boy likes to pretend you don't). You are
starting to take a few steps (currently at 4 steps), but still not too
interested. You LOVE the cheering and attention that you get when you are
successful though! You are a lighting fast crawler, so why change??? Whether
its your hilarious bear crawl, one-legged scoot, or regular crawl you can get
where you want in a flash! You are communicating better and better, though not
too many actual words! But you are FINALLY saying Mama and it just melts my
heart! I just ask you to say it all day just to hear your sweet little voice
say my name. Little words or not, you are still able to let us know what
you want by either using sign language, pointing, screaming, etc! Your favorite
word is "this". That's right you say "this" any time
you want something and we are just left guessing what it is you want. You
will push things away until we finally get it right. You are so polite with
always saying "thank you", although its only by the inflection.
We know what you are saying though! You love to snuggle and crawl up and
play in our laps, and will come back for hugs and back rubs over and over. To
say that you are obsessed with your Daddy is an understatement! The second he
comes home from work, he better be holding you. The hard part is, that brother
thinks the same thing!! In the morning you will yell "Daaaaa" until
you find him and get so excited! Although you are still very much a Mommy's
girl, I think we will soon easily be calling you a 100% Daddy's girl! I just
love the bond that you two have! You aren't much on letting other people hold
you if one of us is around, but will still give a good wave, high-five, or
smile as long as you are "safe" in our arms! We are working through a
little bit of "attitude" that is beginning to show its ugly face, but
nothing that sticks around too long! We love you beyond words and can't get
enough of your sweet, loving, bubbly, quirky self. I find myself picking
you up more and more at night just to get a little more time. I pray I
never forget all those moments rocking and having your arms wrapped around me,
your fine little hair blowing up tickling my nose, and your warm baby breath on
my face. I could hold you forever and pray that you will always let me!!
You are growing into a beautiful soul and can't wait to see the girl (and
eventually woman) the Lord has in store. He truly knit you in His perfect
image and can't wait to see it all bloom to the surface. Quinny, Q,
Quinny-poo, Sis, Sister, Sissy we LOVE you!!!
Sweet blue-eyed girl
Sister's way of playing in the sand is pick it up and pour it on the ground
She could literally be in the water ALL day!
Getting help from Brother with her walker
Yep, still in her bath seat because she will NOT sit down!!!
VBS baby-style with her friend Haze
You better be ready for some screaming when you take her out of the swing!!!
Getting some lov'n from Nan & Gramps
Mia wanted to see if she could pick Quinn up
We had to get Quinn a fan for the car because she was getting so hot. This is what I saw the first time I opened the car door, ha! Slightly windblown!
Giving Mommy some birthday love!
Attempting to dive into the water (literally!)
Trying to survive daddy's extremely hot softball game!
Getting her daily yoga in
-Food:
This girl is picky, picky, picky!!! She mainly just eats the baby food I make
her with some finger foods. But the problem is that one day she will love a finger food and
then will never touch it again after that. She won't even try things; as soon as it
touches her lips, she spits it out!! This is going to be a challenge!!!
-Favorite
toys: walker, toilet paper, tupper ware
-Loves
to pretend like she is talking on the phone with her fake phone. Its always
the most cheerful conversation!
-
This girl LOVES water!!! Whether its the bathtub, pool, splash pad she wants to
be fully in it the whole time! She has no fear and water in her face is no big
deal. It might throw her off for a second, but she shakes it off and is
right back to what she was doing!
-Still
has 8 teeth, four on top and four on the bottom
-Wears
12 month and some 18 month clothes, and still size 4 diapers.
