Quinn is 15 months!  Here is a recap of what she has been up to....





 



 
 Quinn continues to make babbling noises at all times. 
She loves Beacon more than ever.  I'm not sure if Beacon feels the same way.
Quinn puts her arms up when we say "so big!"
She waves "hi" and "bye."
We are hearing little bits of words in some of her babbling...duck, show, and shoes.
She is pretty much done with her paci and full on replacing it with her thumb.
Also, she has replaced her bottle with a sippy cup.
We also visited Michigan and New York, and Quinn did really well with the car rides! (thank goodness!!)
She loves shoes to put on shoes and will bring them to you to put on her feet.
And, she topped off this month with getting all 4 MOLARS!  Glad that is over with!
BUSY, BUSY, BUSY & FUN, FUN, FUN!!  Pretty much sums it up!
 

Wheaton Girls Weekend

Saturday, April 5, 2014

 A few weeks ago I reunited with some of my best friends from college.  We haven't been great about making plans to see each other but we finally made it happen!  We met up in Little Rock and stayed at Lindsey's house.  Lauren flew all the way from California with her little guy, Walker.  We literally did not stop talking all weekend.  It was so nice to relax with friends who know me so well!  We had fun eating out and exploring Little Rock a little bit.  But, my favorite part of the trip was staying up late and talking.  Although, not much has changed since college...I had a pretty hard time staying awake past eleven...haha
 
We couldn't get enough of sweet Walker.  He was sooo good!
 This was the first time I have left Quinn for more than two nights, and the first time I have flown without her since before she was born.  It did feel a little strange at first but I snapped back into being my own independent person pretty quickly...haha  The break was refreshing and I think we all left the weekend feeling encouraged and recharged.  Matt did a great job taking care of Quinn.  He drove with her to NY to stay with his parents for the long weekend.  He made it look so easy.  Well done, Daddy!
