10 Months Old

Quinn turned 10 months yesterday! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. It seems like just yesterday he was just a little infant. Now he sleeps through the night, walks around the room, and eats a wide variety of foods. He loves his blankie, running around without clothes, carrying around a can of soup, looking through his books, and playing on the stairs. He still gets a huge smile on his face when Chris gets home work, and Leeroy has to take high ground to get away from him. It has been a great ten months, and I look forward to watching our new little baby following in Quinn's steps. Becoming a mom has been the greatest blessing in my life.

 The easiest way to get Quinn to actually smile for a picture is to flip the camera on my phone around so he can see himself and take a selfie. Hopefully this doesn't lead to narcissism.

We were getting ready to go out for the day and once I got his jeans on I couldn't resist...impromptu photo shoot!

In Case You Haven't Heard...

I would like to officially announce that we are pregnant with our second child! I wanted to wait to put it on the internet until I was through with the first trimester to avoid any awkward posts. I am 12 weeks pregnant and survived the first 3 months. Compared to Quinn, they really weren't that bad. There was a short time period when I felt crappy and didn't want to eat anything, but unlike Quinn, it didn't last the whole 12 weeks.

We had our first doctor's appointment last Thursday and everything looks good. They did an ultrasound, and I was a little worried that there wouldn't be anything there because I have felt pretty great. My fears were set aside when a little baby showed up on the screen. It had a strong heart beat, and the measurements were right on track. Everything is looking good. I'm hoping this pregnancy is as easy as Quinn's...we will see.

Quinn took his first consecutive steps tonight. I think it was four. We clapped and cheered, but do I really want him walking this soon? He already gets into everything and gets past any barrier we build. He is definitely a strong and a smart kid.
