18 months

Well summer came and went, and I didn't post even once!  I'm not sure if I'll try to catch up a little with a summer post or not.  But, I did want to post about what Quinn has been up to lately.  She reached her 18 month milestone this summer and I don't want to forget all of th fun things she is doing at this stage!

Favorite foods: bananas, grapes, clementines, pasta, pizza, black beans, corn, anything with cheese, pb&j, waffles

Favorite words: banana ("nana"), kitty, no, yeah, shoe, uhh-oh, mommy, "woooooowwww!", snack

Favorite activities: sweeping with her broom, reading books, pushing her mini stroller, going through wallets, "snuggling" with Beacon (she is getting better at being gentle!), being silly and walking around with a blanket on her head, opening and closing doors (waiting to pop out and say "Hiiii!!"), giving hugs and kisses, watching Mickey Mouse or "shows"

Least favorite activities: stopping something fun=50% chance of a tantrum depending on the circumstances, road trips (hah), doctor visits, four teeth have been pushing their way through allll summer---they are all just about broken through now! Yay!!!!

We also left Quinn with my parents for 5 days and I was a mess.  It was so nice to have a break and Quinn did great with them.  But, it was so weird not to have her with us!  She has such a presence in our family and her personality is so defined now that she is getting bigger.  It can be a tiring job but they sure are cute at this age!

Quinn had surgery to get tubes in her ears in August.
It was a rough morning on surgery day but the recovery has gone really well!
