Not loving being in my car seat - Aug. 15, 2010

I am generally very patient in my car seat but Daddy and Mommy had me out for a bit too long this day for appointments and errands and I'd had enough. My parents think it's hilarious when I wake up, cry for a bit, and then fall right back asleep!

First trip to Barnes & Noble - Aug. 10, 2010

Mommy and Daddy needed the Baby 411 book because there were so many questions they had so the pediatrician recommended this book. As was usual back then, I slept the entire trip to the bookstore!

2 days old

Here's a quick video of me at two days old. I didn't do anything but sleep for the video but my Mommy and Daddy think it's cute. :)

6 weeks old!

Hi everybody,
I'm six weeks old today, can you believe it?! I've been growing quite a bit and trying to figure out the things around me. I have grown 4 1/2 inches and about 2 pounds since I was born so I'm wearing 0-3 month and 3-month clothes. I have slept 7 1/2 to 8 hours two out of the last three nights and Mommy and Daddy are really hoping this is going to be a constant! I got my fingernails cut for the first time yesterday. Mommy was scared but the doctor said I could have them cut between 4 and 6 weeks so there were no more excuses! I love to play on my play mat and hit the rattles and to swing in my swing--though it usually puts me to sleep which I think my parents appreciate. I love when my parents and grandparents sing to me and talk to me. I have even started to smile back at them. I still smile and laugh in my sleep a lot and Mommy's ready for those giggles to make their appearance when I'm conscious! I got my pictures taken on my one-month birthday but I can't post those yet because they're being printed and I want my grammies to be the first ones to see them. I did not like having my picture taken. It was time to eat and my parents were not getting the hint when I kept crying. Mommy was convinced I could hold off for a few minutes and I proved her wrong. The photographer managed to get a couple where I look like I'm smiling or happy, but they were really just shots in between cries. Maybe when my Uncle Mark gets here, I can get some better pictures on my two-month birthday. Speaking of family, I get to meet a couple of my Aunties this week and am very excited so I know I'll have tons of pictures to post later. Until then, here are a few pictures of the last couple of weeks.

All my sleeping faces - 8/16/2010

4 weeks old already!

I've had quite a good last three and a 1/2 weeks. I still sleep a lot and eat even more, but I'm starting to be awake more and look at everything that's going on. I can hold my head up if Mommy or Daddy are holding me under my arms or if I'm on someone's chest. I've also been able to roll to my side since I was a week old and last week I rolled from my side to my belly, back to my side, and finally onto my back. I'm also able to stand when someone holds me under my arms and usually I can hold my head up at the same time. Daddy thinks I'll be walking in two months! I lost my umbilical cord stump Aug 22 so now I can take a "real" bath instead of a sponge bath, but so far that hasn't worked out so well because I cry more in my "big girl bath" than I do when I get a sponge bath on the counter! I like to smile a lot and I laugh in my sleep but mostly I love to swing in my swing or play on my play mat. I hit the rattles on my play mat like a pro and my parents are sure I am doing this intentionally!

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks. I have some videos to post too but I'm having issues getting them on this site, but I'll add once I figure it out!

Quinn--so many pictures in just a few days

I don't have time to write because I'm sleeping mostly these days, but I did want to post pictures for my family--especially those out of town who want to see more of me. I'll write more when I actually wake up!
