14 months

I was just thinking how last year at this time I posted an average of twice a week, and now it's more like once a month!  Different season of life I guess!  We are adapting well to our new location.  This city was MADE for families.  It's great!  Between the library, play places, the gym, bible study, and MOPS...we have had plenty to do, which is great since Quinn is down to one nap a day!  I was hesitant to begin the transition of dropping the morning nap, but it's actually really nice.  Plus, with the time change, I am enjoying getting my head on straight before Q wakes up in the morning!  Here is a glimpse of the past month...

 I have been reading some parenting books this month.  I'm not sure what Quinn thinks about it :/

 Quinn is so cute in the morning with her bottle while she watches a show.  The girl LOVES milk.

 She loves her sleep!

 We survived our first "mommy has the stomach flu and daddy is traveling" incident (luckily, Quinn DIDN'T get sick!!).  I knew it would happen at some point.  Check that one off the list!

 Quinn was having fun discovering the crunchy snow.

 This is just a warning to NOT make monkey bread unless you have plenty of people to eat it.  I'll be paying for that at the gym for the next month!

 We had a taste of some warm weather and went to the playground.  So fun!

I am really enjoying staying at home with Quinn.  I am exhausted by the end of the day, but in the best way.  You can pretty much ask her for an object and she will know what you are talking about, and bring it to you.  We've gotten into a routine of putting away toys at the end of the day. She loves to help.  She always wants to read books and will not hesitate to bring one to you and then plop on your lap.  She is still very independent at nursery and has very little hesitation.  She is attached to her blankie and paci.  She loves shoes and can say "sshhoo" with a high pitched voice.  She isn't a big eater but if you give her anything with cheese on it, she will give in.  Quinn knows how to give kisses--open mouth, tongue out--we need to work on that!  She actually gave a little boy her age a kiss this week.  It was really cute until he bit her finger :)
