Wubbanub number...

We don't have a very good track record for the Wubbanubs (the pacifiers attached to a little animal.) Cooper got the first one, and we have officially lost the second one:( These things aren't cheap, but she really uses them. I ordered a new one, but it is the elephant one again. Anyway, here she is with her caterpillar one before we lost it followed by a picture of what she does when she doesn't have a pacifier (we have other regular pacifiers we do give her. They just don't stay in her mouth as well!)

(She is definitely working on being a thumb sucker!)

Happy Halloween

I know there is already a picture of Quinn in her Halloween costume on here, but I think this is a good one. She passed out around 6:30, maybe even a bit earlier. We went out to eat and she stayed asleep the whole time. It's 8:30 and she's still out cold. She has slept a lot today. Her nose is all stuffy. I think she has a cold, poor thing. I just hope she is out for the night (not likely).

2 month well visit

I took Quinn to the doctor today for her 2 month visit. The doctor said she is perfect! The reflux medicine is doing its job so we are staying on it. She is doing the normal things a 2 month old should. She is 24 3/4 inches tall, 13lbs 2 oz, and her head is 41cm around. That means she is around 90% for weight and head and 98%+ for height! The 90% for weight doesn't bother me since she is so tall. She has some cute chubby cheeks, but she isn't chunky really. I love my perfect baby and she can slow down on growing up now. Actually, if time can just slow down for the next 2 1/2 weeks, I would appreciate that.

Maggie

I put Quinn in the chair for a second when I went to grab something. I came back and found this:

Maggie is very odd around Quinn. She tends to just ignore her most of the time. I think she really wanted to sit in the chair and didn't care or didn't know that Quinn was there. 

Halloween Party

The Halloween party at the library was last night. They do a costume contest, a parade around the library, and have games and prizes (candy and toys). We went mostly just to have an excuse to put her in her costume and go to the library.  It is kind of hard to tell from the pictures, but she is an elephant. 

The party started at 7. It was extremely loud in there, and lots of the lil ones were crying. So of course Quinn fell asleep at about 7:05!

 She woke up around 7:45 for about 10 minutes then went back to sleep. 

I didn't enter her in the costume contest because she was just too cute, so it wasn't fair. No really, I kind of figured working there would make it unfair for us to win, not that I think we would have.

2 cute pictues

2 months

I never get the best pictures of her on her month birthdays! But anyway, here she was yesterday. We spent the day helping Grammy pick out a washer and then Daniel put it in and fixed some pipes with Evan's help. It turned into an all day event, so Quinn and I hung out with Grammy. In this picture she was actually on the ground looking up at her.

We go to the doctor Thursday for her 2 month checkup. She will get her shots. I'm not looking forward to it at all, but I can't wait to see how she's growing. I measured her a couple days ago and she was 24 inches long, and her head measured 41cm around, but I don't know how accurate I was. Either way, she sure is a tall girl. She is growing up too fast. She holds her head up extremely well and looks around all of the time. She sleeps really well, and most nights go great. Unfortunately she still usually wakes up every 2 hours which makes for a tired mommy. I would love for her to start going a bit longer between eating before I go back to work in 3 weeks. But I love waking up and seeing her huge grins. She makes such cute noises too!

Wyatt's Birthday

Wyatt turned 4 on Friday. I went over to their house to hang out with the boys for a few minutes while Kelli and Evan were checking out their attic. Afterward, I asked Wyatt if he wanted to go to Target to pick out his own present instead of me picking one out for him. At first he said no, but then Noah explained that he could go and pick out any toy he wanted (as long as it wasn't expensive) Wyatt finally decided it was a good idea. Target has a few little displays out and some of them are interactive, so Wyatt wanted to try them all out. This one you pull the lever and a car goes up to the top and tells you how many MPH it went (probably not really, but still fun.) So this is the progression of Wyatt about to pull the lever, pulling the lever, and then watching it go up. 

After he played around for awhile, he picked out his toys. He was stuck on a car set that looked like it might not be very quality, so I finally persuaded him to pick something different. He ended up with some Toy Story Garbage Truck that came with Woody and a Buzz Lightyear toy to go with it. I told him he could either keep them or I could wrap them up and take them to his party the next day. First, he said he wanted me to wrap them. Once I explained that he could actually play with them that day if he just took them, he changed his mind. He did a lot of mind changing that day. It was fun though.

So Stylin

Her onesie says I Love My Daddy!

Look how well these Baby Legs match her onesie! That was a coincidence. Her cute pink flower bow that Aubrey made matches too. She sure was styling that day.

Cutest Outfit

Today Quinn's new Wubbanub came in. That is the caterpillar that has a pacifier attached to it. She definitely approved, but I'm sure she misses her Ella the elephant one (stupid Cooper). Also, I got her Baby Legs in. Those are the pink and brown tights looking things she is wearing. They are leggings so I don't have to take them off to change her diaper. They work well with onesies for when she is little, and they will keep her knees from hurting once she starts crawling. Pants just don't look cute over a fluffy bum (cloth diaper) at least at this age, and her legs are going to start getting cold since the weather is changing. I got the bigger size so that they will fit her longer. She will be able to wear them till about age five, unless she is super tall, which she very well probably will be. I have to scrunch them up on her now, but that is ok! I just love her outfit today! We went to eat lunch with Grandma. I think I'm going to have to make Daddy take us out somewhere tonight so more people can see her adorable outfit, if she doesn't mess it up first. The dress is one that Aubrey passed along.

Picture Overload

Quinn sure has been holding her head up well. She isn't strong enough to sit in the Bumbo without us right there watching her, but she is getting close. This picture looks like she is laughing at Cooper. 

 It is funny how many pictures Cooper makes his way into. He is just sitting there in this picture, but of course he is there. This was the first picture we had of her really holding her head up pretty well. I took it a week ago

And here we have Quinn wearing her new Colts diaper. It is lined with Patriots material so that she is dirtying that, not the Colts. 

 This is the diaper that Aubrey made for her! She is almost big enough to wear it, but it is a little too loose around the legs. As Daniel said, "She loves her Gabby Wren."

 (ignore the outfit here, it's kind of odd, but she was super happy!)

Monkey Business

 And monkey jammies with a matching hat.

 Half-smile

 This is her Wubbanub, Ella the elephant. It is an elephant attached to a pacifier. It helps keep the paci in her mouth, and she can hold on to the elephant sometimes. Unfortunately, we came home one day and the pacifier was all chewed up. Thanks a lot Cooper! I ordered a new one, but the elephant was out, so I ordered a caterpillar. Pictures to come.

 We went to see great grandma today. I think this picture really shows how big Quinn is getting! She doesn't look so big when her daddy is holding her.

 And finally, look at those overalls. Too cute.

Daddy Time

As the onesie says, she loves her daddy!

Stylin!

I need to get a picture with the diaper, but look at her styling in her matching bib and bow. The diaper matched. She is finally big enough to fit into her one-size diapers. There is one brand that still doesn't fit around the legs. Some people (daddy) say her legs are chunky, but the one size diapers are supposed to fit from 10 pounds up. She is probably 12 pounds, at least 11 for sure, and they don't fit cause her legs are too skinny! But they are starting to fit, and they are so easy and super cute!

Family

I love this picture!

She doesn't care who feeds her!

Kinda blurry, but she loves Grandpa!

Great grandma, Grandma, and Quinn

Baby Cooper

I yelled at him for laying on her blanket, so I threw the blanket onto her boppy to get it out of the way. Not even 5 minutes later I look and there he is, on the blanket on the boppy.

Cooper loves his baby!

Dresses and Pajamas

I think she looks so cute in dresses. Pants look funny over her diapers!

Gotta love monkey jammies!

She is starting to look around a lot more and is much more alert in general. She is also looking happier and sometimes I catch her grinning. Thankfully she has been having some 3 hour stretches between eating at night so I've been able to get 2 hour stretches of sleep! She is growing up too fast and my maternity leave is half over. I look forward to going back to work, but I don't look forward to not spending all day with her.
