Respected. Knowledgable. Partner.
{It’s taken me a month to publish this. At least I still have a few days before he turns eight months old.} This chunky guy makes me smile. He’ll make you smile too if you look at his face. Big ‘ol open mouth grin with eyes that match most of his blue shirts. He doesn’t … Continue reading Quinten seven {7!} months
Yes, he does! If you know him, it’s pretty obvious that he loves to eat. He’s been taking 8-9 ounce bottles for a while now. If you try to give him less, he will scream until he gets more. Dude knows what he wants and it’s milk. Or food. Really, just anything will work. We’re … Continue reading Quinten Eats
One is pretending and one is actually sleeping.
Six months is a lot of fun at our house. Quinten is very interactive with us and himself. He loves making noises, sometimes mad and sometimes happy. He can easily be entertained by his hands, feet, blankets, and anything else he can get into his mouth. He is very active and moves from the start … Continue reading Quinten: Six Months
I need to document teeth before I move on to my six month old baby. Six months. Saturday, June 1 Quinten got his first tooth! His bottom left front tooth came in pretty quickly. Ironically the top two teeth had been kind of swollen and I was wondering if they were going to poke through. That … Continue reading Baby teeth!
A Sunday night should be full of clean babies and relaxation. This week was only one of those things. We had a busy weekend full of running around outside. Maximus was in need of a bath, badly. I was flying solo so that meant both boys were going to get a bath. I knew there … Continue reading A basement, clean babies, and a dog
Another month has passed and I feel confident talking about Quinten as a baby. I don’t worry so much when Maximus runs over to him. I don’t rush over to him when he cries. He’s more independent and self-sustaining. And he’s still bald. 🙂 We can hardly keep him on his back, unless he’s trying … Continue reading The 5th Month of Quinten
I got the following in an email forward. I was literally laughing out loud. And then telling myself that sweet, innocent, little (big) Quinten would never do this. Except, I think he woke up on Tuesday night because his sleep sack tickled his foot. So, Baby J might be on to something. Spilling baby secrets and all. AWAKE TRAINING … Continue reading Awake training for parents
We’ve been soaking up life at home. Carrying on conversations with Maximus like he’s an adult. At supper we try to talk about our days, teaching him to talk to your loved ones. It kills me when he rests his chin on his hand and says, “daddy, what you have for lunch?” It usually turns … Continue reading Brotherly love
I think I can start every month post about how I can’t believe he’s X months old already. Although, I’m a little less surprised by him being four months. I don’t feel like he’s changed a lot in the past month. He learned to roll over and was spending all his floor time doing so. … Continue reading Baby Quinten: Four Months
