Happy Mother's Day to all you moms and moms-to-be who read this! I'm soooo excited to enjoy my first official Mother's Day (Quinn was just Little Bean last year at this time)!
We had another fun week. Our current project is trying to figure out what time Quinn should go to bed at night in order to help him take better naps during the day. He puts himself to sleep and sleeps very well at night, but he doesn't like to nap very much. No teeth yet, so we'll just keep experimenting until we figure out what works! :)
Aunt Amy drove all the way here by herself just to spend the day with her nephew. Quinn was thrilled to see her!
This week, Quinn discovered his toes and . . .
his dog, Oliver! He is just fascinated by Oliver, even smiling at him sometimes, but sadly, Oliver still seems to not realize Quinn is there. : )
While at first glance, this may look like a boring picture, it was actually quite exciting. Quinn woke up at 5 the other morning, which is normal for a nighttime feeding. When I went into his nursery, however, I saw the top of his head--he had rolled over onto his tummy but couldn't figure out how to roll back! It was very exciting because since rolling over onto his tummy a few weeks ago, he's lost interest in doing it. After I fed him, I put him back in his crib, and he promptly flipped to his tummy again and fell asleep. It was so cute I had to wake Andy up to show him and take a picture.
We were able to spend two afternoons with Will and Nan this week. Our guys are getting so good at their Jumperoos and Exersaucers. Will is a wonderful model for how to grab toys and play with them more. They still don't look at each other too much, but Nan and I know they'll be best friends soon.
Each day this week was beautifully sunny and warm. I like this picture of us before going on a walk because I love Quinn's chubby little thighs hanging out the bottom. : ) Quinn's face is funny too; he really does like being in the Baby Bjorn even though he looks like a grumpy old man in this picture.
Here's Quinn as a "kiki bird", as Andy's mom and dad would call him when they left his shirt partially on his head. : )
Yes, Quinn is working on crawling. He gets up on all fours like in this picture and rocks back and forth like a car "vrooming". He pivots, rolls, and inches his way all over the floor. I knew when he was born we had a mover and a shaker on our hands! The only time he stops moving is if he's tired or sleeping, which luckily happens more often now that he's more active. Last week we had 3 nights where he slept 12 hours straight! 
Bible study buddies! These handsome little guys' mommies are all in Bible study together. Will, Carter, and Quinn all had fun at the pool together last week. (Their mommies have a lot of fun together too!)
What a happy little guy! 
We've been working on helping Quinn learn how to soothe himself to sleep at nap time, and he finally discovered sucking his thumb. It melts my heart every time I see him asleep like this.
