12 months

We made it!  Quinn turned ONE last week!  Here is a look at what she has been up to this past month.

 

These 12 month pictures were taken in Ohio :)

~1st BIRTHDAY~ Due to all of the moving chaos, we had two little parties for Quinn.  We didn't really have a master plan for how to celebrate.  It just worked itself out.  So, I threw her a party with some friends in Florida a week before we left.  Then, on her actual birthday Quinn and I were in New York with Matt's family.  (The short of it is that Matt was traveling and our stuff was in the process of being transported to OH--hence, Quinn and I needed a place to hide out for the week.)  Polly threw a sweet little party for Quinn with her good friend and Grandma Harker. 

 

~GROWING UP~ Quinn got three teeth this month and I can see more about to come in!  She is full on walking.  She officially took her first steps on January 7.  She now watches a show (preferably Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and eats a snack after her afternoon nap.  She is quite cranky when she wakes up.  The only way she is happy is if she is being held or distracted by the TV.  She is also in the big girl car seat now which has made driving around a lot easier.  She did great when we drove from New York to Ohio.  I couldn't believe it!  She has been testing the waters to see what she can get away with too (ie. throwing food off the highchair).  Quinn is officially a toddler!  She has also become much more cuddly--not complaining here, and seems to be a little attached to her blanket and paci too.

 

I can't believe how much she has developed and grown in just one year.  We are really enjoying Quinn as this stage.  Her bubbly, sweet, observant, and fun personality adds so much joy to our lives!  She is such a gift!
