Lark Toys

 All the kids and a couple lucky parents got to ride on a hand carved carousel!

Quinn chose the flamingo, but she was more interested in the gold pole in front of her.

hammin' it up for the camera

Quinn picked out 2 toys 

This one is her favorite!

Grilling Out in March!

This picture says it all! If you know these kiddos you know what I mean!

Quinn loves the water just about as much as her thumb, so we bought her a infant pool to splash around in!

"Why are you drinking all my pool water Sadie?"

"This is great mom"

Giggle

Quinn has a great giggle so we thought we'd share it with everyone

5 Months

So it's official that Quinn is 5 months old weighing in at 19 lbs.  I can't believe how time just flies by! As you can see by the pictures she is more into what's going on around her. She talks more and more these days and anything she can grab goes straight to the mouth. Brian and I so blessed with this baby girl but she has given us a glimpse of the future with her new 5 month old whine. It is a high pitched "I don't wanna do that" kinda whine! Still sleeping through the night although there's been a couple difficult nights due to glorious teething.  I don't remember those days but according to Quinn it's painful. A new favorite thing to add to her list is the movie Rio. It is a super cute, funny disney movie and she can't get enough of it. 

4 Months

Quinn's 4 month photos were done in her baptism gown.

She is still growing like a weed. She weighed in at 18 lbs on her 4 month checkup. She's a great baby! It's official also that she sleeps through the night! Yay for mommy!

Just Like Daddy

This is the face Quinn makes just before she is about to cry cause she wants something...

This is the face Brian makes just before he is about to cry because he wants something..

hahaha...

Quinn's Favorite Things!

Her thumb, she just can't get enough of that thumb. She never liked her paci even so we tried to push it on her and then one day her thumb just ended up in her mouth and it's been her best friend ever since. Oh well it's pretty stinkin cute!

This blanky is also one of her favorites. I think it is the different textures. One side is soft minky and the other is silky.

Her bath time, she has offically out grown all the infant bath tubs and sponge mats so she just gets to lay in her big girl tub and kick those rolly legs.

Quinn's Baptism

Jan. 22, 2012 @ 10:30am

Everyone joined together to witness Quinn's Christening. She was very happy thank goodness and loved the organ and singing. I've always been afraid to take her thinking she would be over done by it all but she loved it! She also managed to poo 2 times in her pretty WHITE gown! And if anyone knows Quinn it wasn't a little #2..haha. Then we all headed to nana and papas for a taco bar and gift opening!

4 Months

My sweet little girl is 4 months old! She had her routine check-up and shots on her 4 month birthday, poor baby! But she is doing great! She weighs 18 lbs and is 24 in long. She is a well fed baby everyone says and then when we got her growth sheet and it says she is >98 percentile, I thought well she is well fed indeed! haha!
She was Baptised on Jan. 22nd and she loved it. When Pastor Wahl sprinkled the water on her head she got the biggest grin on her face and giggled at him. That same weekend we took her to the pool for the first time. She was total content the whole time but then she is a water baby she loves to take baths so it was no surprise to me. We will be visiting pools all summer long!

So behind!

Quinn is almost 4 months old already and I never got around to posting her 3 month photo or even taking the picture for that matter so here is one that auntie Robin took that we are going to use for our 3 month photo.

Quinn is moving right along, growing so fast. Her last Dr. appt she was 16 lbs 8 oz. so I'm sure she is 17 lbs or more now. She is so smart and so strong. She's all about giggling and kicking those rolly polly legs and wiggling those rolly polly arms. She certainly ain't lacking rolls.

Oh and she has never really been big on her paci..and now she discovered her thumb...I still try and make her take her paci when she is fussing or whatever but she will turn her head and yell and me then stick her thumb in her mouth almost as if she is saying " Shouldn't have tried to stick that stupid thing in my mouth mom. Now I will make you mad and suck on my thumb." You know the typical girl attitude!

2 Months

It's super hard to believe that 2 months ago already Brian and I brought this beautiful baby girl into the world. She truly is a blessing. She had her 2 month Dr. appt the other day and things went really well. She is again totally average even though she appears quite rolly. She did however come home around 7lbs 4oz and now is a whopping 13lbs 8 oz. She certainly ain't starved!! As parents know 2 months appointments bring 2 month shots (dunn dunn Dunn). She quite enjoyed the liquid the nurse put in her mouth and was totally happy and just talking and then just a few short seconds after the first needle my little baby turned beat red and screamed her head off. I have never heard her scream like that!! She was even quite when she came from the womb. Then he quickly gave her the last 2 shots in her other leg...poor baby..mommy sat on the bench and teared while daddy stood next to her to quick pass her off to mommy for relief (the boob). It is true when they say to feed them right after the shots it soothes them, it works. She then slept all the way through our adventure to beatles with Beth, Seth, Robin and Kyle and onto her next feeding around 8:30 or so. Like I said she is a really good baby and we are truly blessed!

Baby Quinn's growing up..

Quinn LOVEs to be naked and to be in the bath..not sure who she got that from..
Showing off her rolls and face that will someday help her to get away with anything.

Loves to tell everyone all sorts of stories. These are from Grandma and Grandpa Coleman's house.



Grandpa's a pro with baby girls he had 4 himself pretty much in a row.

Busy Life

So having a baby makes my head spin, in a good way. Quinn is an awesome baby and we love her so much. She is growing like a wild flower. We took her to her latest dr. appt. and she weights in at 12 lbs 8 oz. she ain't starvin folks. She is for the most part sleeping through the night. I get about 6 hours in one shot possibly even more when her daddy tucks her in at night. It's getting to be that time to put her into her own room and I'm not sure I'm ready. I might have a few sleepless nights from crying cause I miss my baby or from getting up to go check on her every few minutes. She is a very smily and giggly and happy baby! Here's one of her latest pictures that we captured that I love.

Back to Work

So I'm back to work as of today Monday Nov. 7th, 2011 and it is nice. As Beth says "you feel human again," so true. One things for sure I'm TIRED! Being at home and being tired with a baby who is totally awake is way easier then being back at work cause you have that precious little face and that sweet baby smell. But it is nice to be out!

I have my 6 week dr. checkup tomorrow which I'm not looking forward to.. Other then that life is crazy and everything is unexpected but exciting!

Times a Flyin' by

Yes Quinn is well over a month old and I have no time to blog..Once I'm back at work I will have some more time on my hands to catch up. But a quick update..She is a great baby!! As of Oct.28 she only wakes up once during the night to eat and if I'm really lucky its not tell like 6am but that only happened once or twice..Awhile back I'd bought this little mobile at Ikea for like a whole $5 I believe, and it is her favorite! She gets so excited she screams, coos, giggles, and smiles at it! Best $5 ever spent she tells me. Here are some photos just to catch up.
