nine months

I have really enjoyed my mini blogging hiatus, but I wanted to make sure I wrote Quinn's 9 month post.  I have gotten this far, so I have decided to power through until her first birthday...I can't believe I am even talking about her first birthday!  It's crazy!

I am lucky that I captured the picture above, because the picture below actually sums up how our mini photo shoot really went.  I kind of felt like she was mocking me in this picture.  haha  Ohhh...Quinn

I feel like we are gradually saying goodbye to little baby days and entering the soon approaching toddler days. 

Here are some things Quinn loves...
-Animals.  Especially, Beacon, our cat.  There was a day when I thought these two would never get along...mostly on Beacon's part.  But, they entertain each other all of the time now!  They are total buddies!
-Books.  Makes me wonder if she will be a book worm.  She loves to flip through and chew on the pages, and is remarkably still while we read to her.  It amazes me!
-Shopping.  I am just trying to enjoy this while it lasts, because I know at some point she will probably start screaming to get out of the stroller.  But, so far, she really enjoys getting out of the house and people watching.

If I had choose a few words to describe Quinn I would say she is....
-Girly.  I am noticing this a lot more now.  One minute she is super happy and the next minute you would think the world was coming to an end!  I sure do love her girly babbling and squeels though!
-Pensive.  She often looks like she is thinking about something important.  It's pretty cute.
-Independent.  I sometimes wish she was a little more dependent on me, and maybe at some point she will be.  But, Quinn does very well with going to the nursery and playing on her own!  Go Quinny!

 Classic moment.
