For all you Tennesseeans out there...

Here is Quinn in the UT onesie my grandma got him. My family has lived in TN for less time than I have lived in FL, but I guess some loyalties don't last...hahaha!
Who knows, maybe he'll be a Vol someday!

11 Months!!

Quinn is 11 Months today! I can hardly believe it, he will be a whole year old in 1 month. Yikes, time does fly, and it seems to fly faster and faster.

To go along with being 11 months old, Quinn finally got his 1st tooth!! I swear he's been teething for 8 years. Finally today 1 sharp corner is poking through. And I know he has 19 more teeth to come in, but it is nice that at least 1 is there, even if it is barely there.

Here are some pictures from his 11 month "photo shoot". Oh, and a cute picture of messy haired Quinn and Daddy.

Another Day, Another Blog

Still not too much exciting going on. We did get to hang out a little with Ross's cousin Gina on Sunday, which was fun. She lives in CA, so we don't get to see her too often, but its always fun when she does come to town. She held Quinn for at least 30 minutes and he seemed to really like her. Here is a picture!

I've been trying to get a picture of Quinn standing by himself, but every time I go to take one he sits down. He's able to do it for longer and longer every day. I'll keep trying to get a picture!

January Life

So not much has been going on lately. Ross and I celebrated our 4th anniversary on Thursday. We had a nice dinner at The Fly and dessert at Bern's Dessert Room. I must say, this is the 2nd time I've left the Dessert Room disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed what I had, but it wasn't up to my very high expectations. The coconut ice cream on it was really good though, and Ross like the leftovers it created. Here are some pictures from that day.

Ross and I...no we didn't plan to match.It is hard to get a good family picture these days.

I was trying to get more pictures of Quinn today, which as previously stated, is becoming more and more difficult. He is starting to stand by himself, so I will hopefully get a picture of that soon. Here are some shots from today.

Quinn playing behind the chair in his room...I was looking for that book.Mommy must be making funny noises or something. Wow, mommy and daddy sure did a nice job on that paint.A beautiful smile!

The best pics I can get

I was trying to get some new pictures of Quinn today, and things didn't go as planned. He is such a fast crawler and he has no desire to sit still anymore. I was sitting on the floor trying to get his attention and he invented a new game...crawl around Mommy in a circle and laugh hysterically. I'm glad he is able to so easily amuse himself. It was quite funny. Here are some of the pictures I did take.

I decided to try giving him pastina tonight...didn't go as well as I had hoped. Pastina is basically tiny pasta balls, kind of like risotto. I don't think he liked the texture and lately he wants to feed himself, so it was a fail all the way around. These pictures all happened within 1 minute.

The rest of Christmas!

So here are some more pictures from our trip/Christmas. It was a great season and I think Quinn had a wonderful first Christmas. I'm kind of sad its over, but I know there will be many more in the future. Now I can work on planning his 1st birthday party...yikes!

Mom and I at Red Robin. We don't have them in FL, but we get commercials all the time. I've been to one a long time ago in WI, but wanted Ross to experience it. Not bad.

Christmas Eve at my parent's house.

"But Nana, I want to open my presents now!"

Quinn loved the tissue paper. It was his favorite present.

Woo-Hoo, more tissue paper

Quinn and his new Cookie Monster

He loved climbing the stairs, he was surprisingly good at it really quickly.

Opening presents at home

He just wants it open!!

Very happy with himself. He looks more like a little boy than a baby every day! We can't wait to see what 2009 has in store!

Hello 2009!

I know I haven't finished updating from Christmas, and I promise I will! But here are a couple pics from New Years Eve. I wish everyone a peaceful, blessed 2009 that is dedicated to God's service.

Quinn and I before he went to bed.

Happy 2009 from Ross and Kim!

Quinn's first picture in 2009...not the best, but it was 2 am and he wanted to go back to bed!
