Quinn's 1st Easter

Quinn had a very exciting 1st Easter if you ask me.  She got a cute Easter basket filled with age appropriate goodies, a book, pjs, and a bug bib. Thanks Easter Bunny! The whole clan gathered at Nana and Papa's house on Saturday and we did an Easter egg hunt and ate way to much food. There was green been caserole, ham, LOTS of cheesy pototoes, watergate salad, a fruit salad, cupcakes, and the list goes on. Then on Sunday the Beckers gathered (Nana, Papa, Marc, Jen, Callan, Me, Brian, Quinn, Nykkole, and Sissy) we ate left overs and then headed outside for a game of catch football while the kiddos swung. During this exciting Easter weekend Quinn had a lot of firsts.  She officially sat unassisted for the first time, stood pretty much by herself, and said "Ma Ma"!!!!!! That's right Ma Ma. I think its every mother's extreme excitement for their daughter's first words to be MaMa.

This was Saturday morning. Rough night with teething but mommy and daddy's bed makes it much better!

Good Morning!

Brian and Quinn his mini me.

teething toys are the best!

Josiah was very excited to finally get a cupcake!

Social Security!

Whoofta Easter was exhausting. She didn't even make it the 5 minutes it takes to get home.

Rio

I don't know if you guys have seen the kids movie Rio but it is Quinn's all time favorite. If you put it on even just the music to it she zones right to it. It is a really cute movie with fun music and lots of bright colors! So here is just a fun picture of Quinn watching the movie. Thumb, blanket, Rio..check, check, check! 

wiggle worm

Quinn is rolling and inching her way all around these days.  She isn't crawling yet but this seems to be doing her just fine. I caught this picture of her during one of her naps. She has managed to move down to the foot of her bed and turn sideways. When I went in to get her after her nap she was turned all the way around and all the way to the bottom. Silly bird!

6 Months Old

My beautiful baby girl is growing up so fast. She is already 6 months old weighing in at 20 lbs and 26 inches long. She has her first two teeth on the bottom front which both popped out overnight.  It's fun to watch her as she grows now she is interested in playing with her toys, chewing on everything, going for walks, watching her puppies play (she thinks Sadie is so funny), Signing Time of course, and RIO. She absolutely LOVES watching the movie Rio! She's also started solid foods which she actually likes. Although she has only had sweet potatoes, squash, peas, and prunes.

 I thought this would make a fun photo shoot but Quinn did not since these are the only pictures I got of her smiling and or paying attention.

 And then of course I gave up and laid her on her changing table to put her regular clothes back on and of course happy as can be..Naked!

Loves her feet!

And we're done....

fun in the sun

We are so blessed to have such beautiful weather in March so Quinn and I decided to sit on the deck and enjoy it because it is still MN and anything can happen! 

CHEESE

Ok now I'm pooped!

Happy St. Patty's Day

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.
