Year and a half!

It really has been a very long time! Let's see... Quinn finally walks like a champ. I was glad she still went through the toddle stage and didn't just take off running. She's also finally saying some words about a month ago. My favorite is "Happy" because she really sounds it out. I also love that she has started saying "mommy" or "mama" instead of grunting when she wants something. It's so much nicer to go in and get her when she wakes up saying "mama" rather than crying.
She had her 18 month appointment a little under a month ago. She was almost 19 months. She was 23.2 lbs and I think 32 inches tall, but don't hold me to that. She was upper average on weight and height and off the chart in head size, go figure!
Let's see if it lets me add pics still...

She used to cheese for the camera. Then she started making mean faces. Both ways are adorable to me!

She took her shoes and socks off then put her shoes back on. She loves shoes and hates socks.

Quinn is quite good at puzzles. Maybe she is getting bored with the simple ones, cause she started making the pieces stand on their sides. Funny girl!

Sleepytime

I captured some pictures of Quinn sleeping over about a week span of time. She moves around so much and never seems to sleep the same way. For the longest time, she would go to bed so easily. I just had to cover her up, turn on her music mobile thing, give her a paci, and give her Violet. Violet is a little toy that plays 20 minutes of lullaby music. She would go down silently, but when I would check on her later, she was never in the same spot. Unfortunately she doesn't fall asleep so easily anymore, but at least I got some good pictures.

Few Random Pics

Kelli and the littles came over one night to hang out. Here are most of them, having a tea party (not the greatest pic)

Quinn loves putting shoes on, so she seemed very excited to try to put on her aunt Kelli's.

Quinn climbed into my bag, so Daniel took her for a ride.

Someone fell asleep in the car reading a book. She gets mad in the car unless you give her a picture book to look at. I think sometimes it keeps her awake, but not this time. Her little hand is even between pages like she was about to turn it but just couldn't do it. 

Bath time

Trying to get as many pics in before it won't let me do anymore.
I was getting Quinn's bath ready, and she came to see what I was doing. She looks like a little old woman! And she loves the bath. She went through a small phase that lasted about a week where she really didn't like it, but thankfully that's over.

She never made it in there that way thankfully. She sure looked cute trying though.

15 month stats

I'm a little late on this. I'm about to run out of space for pictures, so I am trying to decide how to go about getting more room.
Quinn had her 15 month appointment 2 weeks ago. She is 30 3/4 inches tall and 21 lbs, 6 oz. So she has grown about an inch and a half and gained 2 ounces in just over 3 months. Her head is back to the 98%. Doctor isn't worried, because it's always been so big. Her heart murmur is still there too, but she didn't mention that much either. No worries about her not walking yet because she is cruising right along. I am thinking she just gets slightly nervous when she doesn't have something stable to touch. She has some random words, apparently enough that the doctor isn't worried about that either.
Her new thing is she will point to her nose or pull up her shirt to show you her belly button, and I just taught her to blow raspberries when you ask her where her tongue is. Too much fun!

At my work Christmas party. Quinn just sat there staring at Santa until it was her turn to go see him. She didn't have anything to do with that! I'm sad I didn't get her to see him last year when she probably wouldn't have cared. 

Here she is all bundled up to go pick out a Christmas tree. She was just getting over being pretty sick here. She had a fever over 104 off and on for a couple days, and then she broke out in a rash. Roseola! Nothing we could do but give her some Tylenol and wait for it to go away. Also, I'm pretty sure she's trying to cut some molars. She's been crankier, and her 8:30 bedtime is out the window! Definitely a toddler, pushing boundaries and seeing what she can get away with. Fun times ahead with this one!

She looks so old in this picture

She was fine, and then she was crying. She also was laying here like she was happy, then refused to get up but wouldn't stop crying until she got up. I think she needed a nap.

Stolen Camera

A couple of weeks ago we went over to Kelli and Evan's house for the evening. I took the camera to try to get some shots of the kids playing together. 

Mason being cute

Playing on the stairs

"Who is this weird guy?"

And then I forgot to take the camera home. I got it back a couple days later, but the following pictures were on it! Wyatt and Henry can be such great buddies. I bet they can't wait until Mason is there playing with them too.
