Six month visit

Last week Quinn went to the doctor for his 6 month check up.  He now weighs 15 lbs, 2 oz, and is 25 1/2 inches long.  He is slowly creeping up closer to "average" for both height and weight (he went from the 5th percentile to the 10th).  He seems to do new things each day.  This weekend he rolled from his back to his side, and also transferred a toy from one hand to the other.  Oh, and here's proof that he can grab his feet:

It is so much fun to watch him learn and grow!

Happy Mother's Day!

My very first "Mother's Day."  I'm really glad I get to be a mom 365 days a year.  I'm sure there will be days when I don't feel that way, but right now, even though it's a lot of hard work and a lot of lost sleep, I am enjoying every minute.  A year ago, I was sitting in church crying tears of joy because I had just found out that week that God had blessed us with a life growing within me.  And now I am blessed by Quinn every day.  How can you not smile when you get to hear this on a daily basis?

I love the look he gives at the end, as if to say, "hey, why aren't you answering me?"  I love listening to him talk.  It makes me laugh, and he laughs back at me.  Happy mother's day, everyone!

Quinn learns a new trick!

 

It may not seem exciting to you, but it sure is to me (and to him, too, I think)!
