11 (plus some) Months old!

11 months and feelin’ fine.

So, I kept meaning to write this post, but I’ve been dreadfully busy (and lazy). However, I did get Quentin’s picture done on time. Quentin had a very busy month and a half.  We had birthday parties, Easter, and other fun events! Quentin got to go to birthday parties for his Grandma, cousin Nya, cousin Isaac, friend Kodi, and his Great-Uncle Pete.  He celebrated his first Easter with his very own baby-sized Easter egg hunt.  Inside each egg was fruity cheerios or goldfish.  He found 6 eggs and ate what was inside each one before moving onto the next.

10 Months Old!

10 Months Old!!

Well then, welcome to 10 months, Mr. Q! We started off his 10 month “birthday” weekend (March 31st) with a trip over to Daddy’s side of the state to visit Nana.  Nana’s birthday was on the April 1st and this was a great chance to visit with her.  While we were there Mr. Q stood up from sitting at his stand-up activity center.  Nana was so excited that he chose that weekend to have a first.   Since the 31st he has done it 4 more times.  Yay Quentin!

Three-Quarters.

9 months on location in Maryland!

This month, on the first, my boy turned 9 months old.  I’ve now kept him alive for over 3/4ths of a year. (At 9.5 months, where we are now, he’s 80% of a year.) Wow!

Since I last wrote he has grown so much… although not so much in weight.  We went to the doctors today for his well-child visit and got measured.  The doctor said that he has the most beautiful brown eyes and is so social. 

New Teeth and an Upcoming Trip

BANANA!!!

Quentin has had an off week.  Last Thursday we woke up in the middle of the night and Quentin was suffering from his first stomach bug.  Charlie got the full brunt of it and got thrown up on 3 times throughout the night.  The next morning he was suffering, but we made it through the day.  He was still a little off all weekend, but he was feeling better.  I noticed Saturday (the 11th) that his 4th tooth finally broke the gums.  He’s not far from number 5 though, there is a white spot on the top row where his 5th tooth is straining to break through and help him eat.

Currently we are preparing for Quentin’s first BIG road trip.  We will be taking some time at the end of the month to go and visit some friends of ours.  So, expect a late 9 month entry!

8 Months or 2/3rds of a year!

8 Months Old!

My boy has made it to 8 months.  Yay!  He’s getting so big.  This month he’s starting to feel more solid, so he’s definitely gaining some weight. We don’t get an official weight check until next month though.  Quentin is a lot more solid as a sitter now.  I still usually keep pillows behind him because he forgets that he shouldn’t throw himself down.  He loves just sitting and playing.  He also loves to watch his Daddy juggle for him.  Just yesterday he was trying to juggle by moving his hands up and down.  Unfortunately, by the time I got out the camera, he wasn’t doing it as well as before, but isn’t that always the way.

7 Months and Growing!

7 Months old!

Well, I neglected to write after Q’s doctor appointment on the 15th of December, but my boy is 15 lbs, 14 oz. and 26.5 inches tall. That puts him in the 15% and 43% respectively. His head circumference is 17.5 which is the 65%. He’s obviously super smart. The doctor had no concerns, and commented that he obviously liked his orange veggies because his skin was slightly orange/yellow at the nose.  His favorite veggies are squash and sweet potatoes, so I’m not surprised. He did pretty well with his shots.  Daddy was making faces at him to distract him, but he still didn’t get getting poked so many times.

Oh, What a Month!

6 months and loving it!

My little man is now over 6 months old. (Picture above taken on the 1st). As I mentioned in my last entry, he popped out a tooth on the 2nd day of the month. On the 28th on November he cut his second tooth, making his smile even more adorable.  I haven’t managed to get a good shot of them because he tends to hang out with his tongue sticking out of his mouth now.  Goofy kid. Of course, it’s not just that his tongue is hanging out.  He’s really upped his “talking”.  He babbles for 10 minutes easy and has babble conversations with his cousin Oliver.  Soon he’ll say his first word.  I hope it’s “mama”, but from his babbles, I’m guessing it will be “dada.”  Charlie will love that!
