Happy Thanksgiving (a day late)

We hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving...we sure did. Quinn got his first taste of mashed potatoes and turkey. I was going to give him a taste of pumpkin pie as well, but he was napping when I had my piece. Quinn had fun playing with all the dogs at Grandma's house. He also had fun with Hailey, who is 13 months old.

As you can see above, we took a family Thanksgiving picture. That one was the best of the bunch. Here are some of the other attempts.

We spent most of the day at Ross's parents house, and at 7 we went to Robert's house for the traditional Thanksgiving After party. There was some serious Rock Band played and a lot of good times were had by all. Thank you Martha for watching Quinn so we could go!!

9 Months (a day late)

Yesterday was a busy, hectic day, so I didn't get his 9 month picture taken until bedtime, as you can see by his adorable pj's, and I didn't get a chance to post it until today. I can't believe my baby is 9 months old!! Do I say that every month? Anyway, he got his 9 month pictures taken at Picture People yesterday and there were some pretty cute shots. We also did Christmas pics, which I'll have to post once I get them scanned in.

We are looking forward to Quinn's first Thanksgiving tomorrow...it will be another busy, hectic day!

Why does mommy buy me toys?

There are such fabulous things to play with around the house, why does she think I need anything else? Here are some of my favorites!

Mommy's Old Cell Phone

The strap from Mommy's camera

The mat in the kitchen (and the pantry when the door is open).

Mommy's flip flop

The door jamb

An unopened bottle of barbeque sauce

And my personal absolute favorite, the remote control!

Quinn's friend Jada

I babysat my friend Leah's daughter Jada for a few hours today. It was nice for Quinn to be able to play with another baby. She is 1 and can walk already, so hopefully she was inspirational to Quinn! She'll be back with her big brothers on Thursday, so much for for all of us!

Quinn trying to impress her with his wit. She is unamused. Now he's trying to show her his gymnastic ability. She is thinking, can't someone remove this boy?Aren't they cute together?I worked so hard to get that beautiful smile from her, yay! But really I think she was just making Quinn the toothless wonder jealous with those pearly whites.

An outfit for Great-Grandma

I got this outfit before Quinn was born and he is finally big enough to wear it! I got it because my grandma, Quinn's great-grandma, loves giraffes. I know she will see this, so I hope she likes it!

I know its not the best picture of Quinn, but he wasn't cooperating that day.

Hello November!

Wow, time has gotten away from me, hasn't it? Between Halloween, the election, my family visiting, and life in general, I haven't updated in a while.
