6 Months!

I apologize to my one avid fan (you know who you are) for the large gap between postings. For some reason it's hard to find the time when I'm getting thrown up on, the cat is getting peed on, I only sleep for hour and a half blocks, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and taking care of my six month old...need I say more? Needless to say it has been a crazy six months. But it isn't about me anymore; I have given up regular showers, a full night's sleep, and makeup and hair time for my 6 month old baby Quinn, and I couldn't be happier. Who needs to shower anyways? Quinn has been so much fun I don't even miss feeling clean. His quick smiles and array of cute expressions can keep me going all day.

Quinn had his six month doctor's appointment on Tuesday. He weighs 18 lbs and is 27.75 inches long. His weight is in the 60th percentile and his height is in the 90th, so I have a tall, skinny boy. He is really good at army crawling, and he can now get on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. He just needs to coordinate moving his hands and knees together. He loves getting a hold of cell phones and ipods and pulling hair.

 Leeroy is the most exciting thing in our little apartment. It doesn't matter if Quinn is crying or eating or trying to fall asleep; he will always cry out when he sees the Leeroy kitty walking by. Leeroy still doesn't know what to think of this baby, so he always keeps an eye on him.

Since Quinn is learning how to sit up and crawl he has this really funny pose when he stops halfway in between being on his tummy and crawling. He lays on his side like he is posing on a beach for a photo shoot.

Our favorite thing to do is visit dad for lunch and look at all the pretty sparkly things in the jewelry cases and maybe even try a few on...I think this one looks pretty good on me!

 We have been waiting so long for it to cool down so I can walk with Quinn anytime of the day and not just early morning and late evening. We were granted maybe three days of 80 degree weather before it turned cold enough where now I need to worry about trying to keep him warm. At least he gets to wear this adorable hat Mariah gave him before his head gets too big.

And of course I will throw in all of the other random pictures that I have taken since my last post that are too cute not to share. This video is dedicated to Mom since I know she is too far away to see Quinn's everyday charm, but we look forward to spending baby's first Christmas with Wisconsin Grandma and Grandpa (what he will call them is yet to be determined).
