Update of Skills

Within the last week Quinn has started dancing. If music starts, she starts wiggling her upper body. It's adorable! I have a video that I'm trying to get Daniel to put on the comp so I can put it on here.
She also started really reaching for people. When I go to pick her up, she will put her arms up. If I am not going to pick her up but she wants me to, she puts her arms up. Adorable!
She started giggling. Not just baby laughing, but full-blown laughing. It's super sweet.
Wednesday she was extra cranky. I was playing with her getting her to laugh and noticed another tooth. She has one of her top ones, but not one of the front ones. She had only her two bottom teeth for 3 months, and it was adorable, but of course it's time to get more. She has been cranky and has a lot of other symptoms of teething, but nothing as bad as before!
She is SO close to crawling. I was at my grandma's on Thursday and put her Wubbanub a little bit away from her. She used her arms in a crawling motion and then kind of frog jumped her legs forward, moved her arms, jumped her legs forward. It got her there, and she was on all fours. Again, super cute!

Sitting on the floor at the gymnastics center for Addy's birthday

Trying out the new seat

Playing with the puppy

Playing without the puppy

Taking in all the craziness that is the Princess Ball

"Are you for real?!"

Being a big girl with daddy. (No, she didn't sit here the whole meal. This was just while she waited for her seat. And seriously, how funny is that expression?

Her second story time. She seems to enjoy watching everyone, especially Jodi.

Pickles

We are doing baby-led weaning. That's pretty much where we let Quinn do it all herself. We either give her baby-sized pieces which she has mastered picking up with the pincher grasp, or we give her chunks of food that she gnaws on. No spoon-feeding anything! It gives her control over what she eats and how much she eats, and she sits there eating with us. It's supposed to help her learn portion control, lower the risk of her having sensory issues with food, stuff like that. She's the kid that always puts everything straight to her mouth, so that hasn't been a problem. She seems to like carrots, really likes Cheerios and puffs, loves anything bread-like, and apparently likes pickles a lot.

We went to Ponderosa a few nights ago. I like taking her to buffets because we can get hr all kinds of food. She threw the carrot on the floor right away, threw the bread on the floor right away, and went for an all green diet. First she munched on a cucumber until the whole inside was gone. Then she ate a green bean or two. Then we gave her the pickle. YUM!

Maybe next time I'll remember the bib!

Easter

We hope everyone had a happy Easter. We celebrated at my mom's house with... My mom and Stan, Stan's daughter and most of her family, Kelli and the whole Adams clan, Daniel's mom and dad, and Evan's dad. Quite the group! Maggie and the puppy (yes, 3 weeks later, he still has no name) were there too. Quinn was a pretty good little girl the whole time except when she started getting a little tired...

So Henry decided she was thirsty. She decided she wasn't.

He really wanted her to drink it.

She was a bit confused why this guy was sitting by her.

I love this picture!!!! Quinn looks so upset, and Henry looks so innocent. He might be a bit of a rough guy, but he's got the innocent look down! He looks like pure Evan here though, and he really was innocent this time.
