Is that your fur?

After opening a button on Eric's shirt:

"Is that your fur?"

back

Back after hiatus. Eric says that we simply need a page for Quinn's quotes.

Gems from the last few days:

"I don't have a tail, I have a butt. A butt for my diaper"

"I'm not a snuggle muffin, I'm a studmuffin"

"I'm Quinn. I can almost fly like Superman."

"I'm going to put Owen in the jungle, because magicians can do that. I'll turn him into a giraffe" (out of nowhere)

Smith Playground

We have been so busy this summer... Between the shore and staying cool at the pool and going to parties, we haven't had much time to send updates.

Last weekend, Quinn finally found some time to hang out with his old buddy from daycare, Marcos. I'll upload pictures later, since I'm on my POS work computer that will crash if I try to do anything more complicated than having a single window of Firefox open.
Here is one:


Marcos and Quinn went to Smith Playground and had a total blast. I was a little nervous, never having been there, that there would be a bunch of pushy older kids keeping us from our fun, but it was pleasantly not overcrowded and all the kids were really well behaved. Quinn loved the swings and this spinning cage thing, that he and Marcos sat inside with Marcos's dad for a long time while Marcos's mom and I spun it around and took pictures.

What he really loved was the giant slide. He had to go down with me and the line kept coming and going (Quinn, as I discovered, is not a fan of waiting in line) so we only went twice with promises to come back, hopefully with Daddy and we can go down again. It was a really fast slide, so I'm surprised he didn't freak out! I freaked out a little on the first try. Quinn has the need for speed, though.

He passed out in the car on the way home and slept forever after. We were waiting for him to wake up to go to the pool! We did eventually get to the pool. He slept really well that night.

it's summer

Ahh, Quinn's been walking:
EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY VIDEO

(he actually loves going in the pool now)

Dressing like a metal head:


And eating fresh blueberries in season:

(these cause some alarming diapers, though)

Memorial Day weekend

We had a very busy weekend.

First, we went to Mayfair, a street fair in Collingswood. Quinn got to test out his new red wagon. He enjoyed this thoroughly. It started to get a little cumbersome when the crowd started to fill in, but it was fun for him to have a whole wagon to himself.

Then, we headed for the shore. We were not sure how Quinn would take to the sand, but he loved it. Here is a picture of him at the playground at the beach:



On Monday, we went to the club to go play in the pool. Quinn was still not totally sure of that situation, but managed to play a little bit in the water. It was cold, so we didn't play for long, but I have high hopes for him once it gets a little warmer.

Being Mr. Charisma, he managed to make new friends everywhere he went. He does seem to like the little ladies, though.

One year checkup

Quinn left his one year check up with a supply of bubblegum pink goo to treat an ear infection that we hadn't even realized he had. He doesn't complain much, so the only sign was that we woke up in the middle of the night for 2 nights before the appointment.

He is otherwise healthy and thriving. He is 31 7/8 inches long (95 pecentile) and 22.5 lbs (25-50 percentile)

Afterward, we met up with daddy after playing at the goat in Rittenhouse Square.



We had dinner at Monk's. I had a delicious Founder's Backwoods Bastard. It tasted like Bourbon, except it was not nasty and harsh like Bourbon is.

new pictures, party and stuff

There are a bunch of new pictures on Quinn's photo site. The commentary is still coming.

May 2008

There's a cake eating video, too:

Grandma and Grandpa visit

And Quinn was sick again... He's always sick when he's visiting with them! so frustrating.

But He was well enough to play around a little.

Here are some pictures:

With Grandma


With Grandpa and Daddy


Hanging out in the yard


Going to the Rittenhouse Row festival (I have at least another picture of him here, but I need to upload it)

Also, we went to cousin James' christening on Sunday:

All dressed up with mommy!

I have not been slacking

I've been really busy and Eric doesn't post here without being set up by me.

I am training a new class of volunteers at work, which requires me to work several nights a week, so when I'm not in the office, I'm enjoying the spring weather or I am passed out in a ball on the bed.

Also, everyone in the house has just been wiped out with some awful cold or allergies or combination thereof. I know my throat was sore for a solid 2 weeks.

Hopefully I will return with more pictures and updates soon!
