No naps

Quinn decided today wasn't a great day for naps, so we've had a lot of time to play! I reorganized her closet (any of you who have seen her closet know what a job that is!!) The rest of the day I've just been trying to keep her busy. This is what I do when I want to keep her distracted for a while. Bumbo seat with a comb, spoon, and binkie. None of them are actually 'toys' but boy does she like them!

Soft toys

This morning we were practicing sitting up, so I thought I would gather her soft toys so it wouldn't hurt as much when she toppled over. Funny how most of them are pink bunnies. She thought it was pretty fun to be on top of all of those toys!

smart baby

Quinn is getting good. I set her down for a minute in the family room and went into the kitchen for a minute. By the time I had gotten back, she had rolled over to the basket of toys and tipped it over to get the toys out. All while holding her trusty comb.

She likes it!!...kind of

The other day I was eating an apple and I let Quinn suck on it. She seemed to like it, so I thought I'd give her some applesauce so she'd recognize the flavor. It went pretty well--at least better than any other solid we've tried!

Here she is seeming unsure and going cross-eyed to keep her eyes on the spoon.

Most of the time she would have rather suck on the bib. Oh well. At least she looked cute. Look at those cute feet!

Quinn's first runny nose

Here's Quinn looking beat after her first runny nose. She is way better today, just more clingy than normal. Crazy outfit, crazy hair--we can't all look perfect when we don't feel good :)

She was MESMERIZED by herself. I was watching a video or her on the computer and she couldn't look away. It was a video of Quinn laughing and screaming. When she would scream in the video she would smile. Ha

New Bike

When Quinn got her first tooth, her sweet Aunt Julie sent her her first little bike. We put it together today and she loved it! Dave pushed her around our empty bonus room and I got a bunch of great photos of her smiling and having a ball. Well...somehow we lost the pictures during the downloading process. I wanted to put a picture of her up on the blog, so I insisted we try to recreate the picture. Unfortunately it was bedtime and she wasn't as excited about it this time around. I know it's kind of hard to see her face, but it is quite hilarious. (click on pic to see bigger)

Daddy loves me

Here's Quinn with her 'daddy loves me' shirt. How can he not with a sweet face like that?

Basket of toys

Quinn learned to dump out her basket of toys. Funny how the basket is much more fun than the toys!

Quinn's Noises

For a short period of time, Quinn was raised by dolphins.

teeth

Here's a photo of her two little teeth. It's still not a great shot--I might need to take another when someone can take the picture while I hold her. She doesn't willingly show me most of the time!

Here she is right after the tooth shot playing with a comb. A girl after my own heart.

Stress Relief

I needed some stress relief while Quinn was learning how to fall asleep by herself...so I made a quilt! Here she is trying it out. She sure loves the ties.

Look at her--I think she wishes she could crawl.

Labor Day Weekend in Blackfoot

Dave and I decided to brave the car ride with Quinn to go to Blackfoot for the holiday weekend. Chris and Sarah were coming up from Reno so we felt we couldn't pass it up!

Here's Dave at the fair, happily looking at four wheelers.

Here's me and Sarah--and in the back Krystal holding Quinn, Chris, and Mike.

Dave and Quinn walking to the parade.

Here we are at the parade. Chris and Ellie, me, Krystal, and Sarah! You should have seen all of the candy we got!
