Check me out

I just took this picture of Quinn tonight sitting in his highchair. Notice his 3 new top teeth? Yes, 3 at the same time! Also, think the kid needs a haircut? I was running late this morning & didn't realize how crazy his hair was. If I had, I would have wet it down & combed it down. He was at daycare like this all day...o well. For some reason the back of his hair grows much faster than the rest. It's definitely time for another haircut!

Merry Christmas!!

Here are a few recent pictures of Quinn...he's ready for Christmas!

He didn't smile at Santa but didn't cry either!

9 months old

Quinn is 9 months old today. He went to daycare today for 3 & 1/2 hours and did ok. He wouldn't drink his bottle but he did take a short nap. He hasn't eaten very well yesterday or today. He has another tooth coming in and he had 4 shots yesterday...poor little guy. Tomorrow he'll go to daycare all day so we'll see how he does. Hopefully I'll be ok since this will be the first time I'll be away from him all day.

The first picture is from tonight. The other pictures are from this week.

Here is Quinn last night in his hand made sweater from his Great Great Aunt Jean.

Quinn

Quinn is now officially Quinn Michael Makuley. We had our court date this morning for his re-adoption & name change. We now have to send in documents to get a birth certificate and SSN number. I'm going to try to get these things done w/in the next 2 days since I go back to work on Friday. We also have our first post adoption meeting w/ our homestudy agency on Monday. It's at 3 pm which is right in the middle of nap time so we'll see how it goes!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Quinn celebrated by getting a new tooth. One of his top teeth broke through & another one is getting ready to break through as well. Surprisingly he has not been fussy. He has been waking up at night more than his normal one time for a bottle. But, if that's the only change while he's teething we're fine with that.

His new tricks this week include shaking his head no & waving. The waving is really cute...he actually waves toward himself rather than out.

Big smile

When Quinn laughs he has a HUGE smile! Not much is new since the last post. He's still belly crawling everywhere. All he wants to do anymore is pull himself up. He'll walk if we hold his hands but he's very very wobbly. We'll probably put our Christmas tree up this weekend. We are putting it in our front living room since we are never in that room & so hopefully he won't be able to knock it down!

Standing up

We put 2 legs on the music table so it wouldn't move so much. Today Quinn was playing & pulled himself up. So, I decided to put all 4 legs on it to see if he could still pull himself up & he did. He was so excited to be standing up all by himself!

Go Bucks!

After he woke up from his nap today, Quinn watched the 2nd half of the OSU game with us. But, he was more interested in rocking in his chair & playing w/ his toys. Hopefully as he gets older he'll be more interested in the game.

Hanging out with mommy

I've been getting a little stir crazy being at home so today I figured I would take some pictures. It's so hard to get Quinn to smile because he sees the orange light on the camera & just stares at it.

Quinn is doing a few new things. One is clicking his tongue. The other is pulling himself up to stand up. So far he's only done this if we are sitting beside him on the floor & he'll grab onto us to pull himself up. He's still belly crawling so I wonder if he'll walk before he really crawls. I'm not sure I'm ready for walking yet.

New toy

This isn't a new toy...just new to Quinn. We received this as a gift at the baby shower but just put it together today.

Today

Adam went back to work yesterday so the past 2 days it's just been the little man & I. When Adam gets home Quinn gets very very excited to see his daddy. Below are some pics from today.

belly crawling to try to get to the camera

new hat...very cute!

First haircut

We took Quinn to get his first haircut tonight. His hair was all different lengths & starting to grow down past his ears on the sides. So, we decided it was time. He did pretty good but he fussed a little towards the end. The first 2 pictures are from getting his haircut & the last one is once we were back home.

8 months old

Quinn turned 8 months old yesterday, 11/4.

Happy Halloween

Last night Quinn sat outside with me while I passed out candy. He was a big hit since he looked so cute in his puppy outfit!

Dancin' machine video

Quinn loves his music table & loves to dance! His dancing includes bobbing his head. He knows how to make the music turn on & then dances. He will really get going if he's laying on his stomach in front of it...he bobs his head so much he'll bang it on the toy, not on purpose of course. Either way he dances it makes us laugh every single time.

Pumpkin

Below are some pics from the day we carved our pumpkin. We sat Quinn in his high-chair while we carved the pumpkin. He wasn't too interested.

We went to the doctor today. He weighs 16 lbs. & is 25 in. long (with clothes on) so he hasn't gained that much. He had to get 4 shots, 2 in each thigh, which was obviously not the highlight of his day! As soon as I picked him up he was fine & stopped crying.

No pumpkin, just a cute picture

Weekend

Adam went to FL this weekend for the Browns v. Jacksonville football game so Quinn & I headed down to my parents house for the weekend.

He is almost crawling. He will move each knee once but doesn't know to move his hands, so he then just flattens out on his belly. He'll also get up on his feet & hands...we're not sure what this move is all about.

He is babbling a lot more, pretty much constantly.

We'll post some pics this week of Quinn in his Halloween costume...gotta get a good pic first! If it's not too cold he can help me pass out candy on Friday night.

Circleville Pumpkin Show

Quinn & I went to the Circleville Pumpkin Show tonight w/ Michele, Erick & their boys. I didn't take my camera to the Pumpkin Show but got some pics at Michele's house.
