Busy weekend

Although Quinn was not 100% this weekend we had a busy weekend. He either had a virus or is getting molars. If it's molars we still can't see anything so maybe it was a virus. Last night he was finally back to himself...of course at the end of the holiday weekend! We went to the Asian Festival in Columbus on Saturday and to COSI (science museum) on Sunday. The weather is finally hot here. The pool in our subdivision opens this weekend so we're looking forward to pool days on weekends this summer. Here are some recent pictures of Quinn...

A new summer favorite...corn on the cob

In other news, we had our 1st home study visit today. We have separate follow-up visits next week. We will then have a final visit back at our house. The HS should be done mid-July. Then, we wait wait wait for a referral. The baby should be 5 months old at referral (S Korea allows the babies to be available for domestic adoption up to 5 months). The time frame from HS to referral is 7-9 months. The time frame from referral to baby traveling home is 5-7 months. So, baby should be 10-12 months old at the time he or she comes home. I'll keep the blog updated with baby #2 updates!

Still dancin'...even in the car

Quinn still LOVES to dance, even in the car!

Something new...

One of Quinn's many new things is getting out of the car by himself. He also will no longer sit in a booster seat. We also recently moved him into another bedroom and into a full size bed...after he no longer wanted to sleep in his room in the toddler bed. He's such a big boy now (in mind, not in size!).

In other news, we finished our adoptiong paperwork and are now awaiting scheduling from our social worker for our homestudy appointments. Timeframe until baby comes home should be approx. 16-18 months....total guestimate from what we have heard so far. Maybe it won't be that long or maybe longer. We'll probably have a better idea once the homestudy is done. When asked if he wants a baby sister or baby brother Quinn always says "baby broder". We'll see!

Checking out the big waves

Quinn checking out the oecan for the first time

Quinn at Ripley's Acquarium. He liked it but had to hand on to daddy's hand when he saw the sharks...the sharks were a little scary!

Petting the stingrays

We are in Myrtle Beach for vacation and it has been great. It was an 11.5 hour drive but Quinn did pretty good considering he was in a carseat the entire time. The last few hours he was pretty done with being in the car but overall did good. He loves the beach and has no fear of the water. He also likes to play in the sand. The weather has been good and only rained on Monday, which is when we decided to go to the acquarium. Today we were out in the water and Quinn kept saying "here comes another one" at each wave. He loves it! More pics to follow!

Bike ride

Daddy taught Quinn to do this. I said this is dangerous, he's going to fall & get hurt, he needs a helmet, etc. Adam says it's fine, he's a boy.

Easter egg hunt

Our neighborhood had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday. Quinn was all about it. He kept saying eggs in basket. Once he realized there was candy inside the eggs he was much more excited!

Daycare boo boo

Quinn busted his lip at daycare today....

but a boo boo doesn't ever slow him down...

Quinn is really getting this talking thing down. He's saying short sentences now which has been fun to hear new words and new sayings. This morning on the way to daycare he said "my friend Braden". I then asked who his other friends were and he said "Kyle and monster truck". I think monster truck (monsta twuck) is in every other sentence. He LOVES monster trucks.

In other news we are almost finished with the adoption paperwork for baby #2. Once we send the paperwork in we will have our home study scheduled. Then, we wait. I'll keep the blog updated with our adoption news!
