A little update

Quinn was playing so cute today and I decided to get the camera out and take some pictures. She is getting so big, so fast and maybe it is the hormones but it makes me cry every time I think about it! She is so fun right now and talking so much!!! I can't even begin to tell you how many words she has but she is putting together 2 and 3 word phrases all the time. I love watching her language grow and how she learns new things everyday. Her current favorites include: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (thank goodness we are now past "Maters Tall Tales"- I don't know how much more I could take), princesses, coloring (on paper, chairs, toys, floors, doors, etc.), bath time, Ring Around the Rosie, baby dolls and jumping on the couch.
She is also a fan of belly buttons and loves to lift up your shirt and push your belly button then lift up her shirt and show you hers. She will lift up my shirt and kiss my belly and say "baby", it is the cutest! 
Today she was loving this green dog that talks and sings songs. She was putting it in her stroller and pushing it around. Then she found my sunglasses and had to wear those. I swear she is going to be a fashionista. 
Here are pictures of our playtime today: 







Quinn is also a fan of the dogs. I think she likes Charlie more. She is always pulling at Sammy and trying to hurt him. With Charlie she will yell his name all the time and give him kisses before we leave in the morning. I think I yell at the dogs too much because she will also do her share of yelling at them and telling them they are "bad." I love how she tells them to sit and how she likes to climb on top of Charlie to get onto the couch. Sammy was not interested in getting his picture taken (probably because most times he is around Quinn she is trying to rip his ear off). 



Life in general is good. Dave is really busy with work but doing lots of great things. I am busy at work and trying to get back into the swing of things after having all summer off. I think I am already in maternity mode even though I still have 4 more months (oops!). Fall is starting to arrive in Utah and it is beautiful. We have a lot of things we want to do with Quinn this fall and it will be fun to see how she reacts to everything. We are going to be in Ohio for my nephew's birthday party and I can't wait to see everybody. 
Baby boy is growing and I am feeling great. Feeling pretty emotional some days and having a hard time sleeping already but overall feeling great! At my last ultrasound baby boy was measuring a little ahead of schedule so we will see if he comes early or is just big! We still don't have a name and we aren't even really close to a name to be honest. I have started to get things together slowly and have a few things for the nursery. I am 21 weeks today so we need to start getting some things ready because with all the holidays coming up, he is going to be here before we know it! 


Family is good, life is good!
