Its kind of hard to blog when there are no pictures to add, as I know his cute face is much better than my ramblings. But I got an idea from my friend Kate's blog and decided to just write a little bit about what Quinn is up to these days, partially for any readers to enjoy, and partially to help me remember.
1. Quinn is talking a lot these days. He's definitely picking up words quickly, often adding multiple words a day. He is also saying some short sentences, like "There it is" and Come on Mama." His current favorite words are "mine" and "again", the former of which can be a little annoying. Everything he sees is "mine". "Again" comes into play more when he wants me to read him the same book over...and over...and over.
2. He goes through fruit obsessions, where he wants one particular fruit day in and day out, and then wants nothing to do with it for quite a while. His current love is apples and he wants to eat them whole and by himself. He is definitely my son though, as he loves Granny Smith apples, just like me!
3. We got him a fold out Mickey Mouse chair with some birthday money and ever since we got it, he wants to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse all the time. We only have 3 shows in his current rotation (MMC, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Sesame Street), so we go through a lot of Mickey!
4. He is trying at all times to be very independent. He wants to go down stairs by himself, get himself in and out of the car, and he only wants to get out of his crib when he asks me to. One day he pushed me away because he wasn't ready to quit playing with the toys in his bed (and he's a crib hoarder, so there are a lot of toys).
5. Disciplining is going...ok. He listens about 50% of the time, but hey, he's 2, what more can I ask, right? The funny thing is, when I pick him up from the play area at the Y or the nursery at church, he always picks up all the toys he was playing with and puts them away, without anyone asking him to. But at home you'd think it was a death sentence for him to put anything away. Weirdo.
6. He is currently wearing 24 month clothes and a size 7 shoe. At last check he was 28.5 pounds. Carrying him is getting a little difficult.
So that's Quinn for now. All this will probably change in a day or so, so I'll have to more to update when it does!
