Big Smiles!

I finally got a picture of Quinn smiling! Plus I have included some pictures of our recent visit with Great Grandma & Grandpa Klein.

Who told Quinn that 4 'o clock was morning?

The past few days Quinn has decided that 4 am is a great time to start his day. He wakes up, eats and then is wide eyed and bushy tailed for several hours. He decides to take a nap around the time the rest of our family is ready to get up. Hopefully he will change his sleeping patterns soon!

Smiles

Quinn has started smiling! He is so cute. He likes to smile at each of us, but his favorite thing to smile at is a picture of a huge, pink hippopotumus hanging by his changing table. Everytime we set him down he looks at the wall behind him and gets a huge smile on his face. I have the camera by the changing table, so hopefully I will be able to capture a big smile soon.

Quinn also LOVES basketball. The NCAA play-offs have been on our tv lately and he will sit in his bouncy and watch for the longest time. The really funny thing is if you take him away from the game he gets fussy and as soon as we put him back in front of the game he is happy again. He is definitely Joe's boy! I don't know how we will be able to eat dinner uninterrupted once basketball season is over, lol.

2 month appointment

We took Quinn to his doctor appointment yesterday. He weighs 11 pounds 8 ounces now and is 21 3/4 inches. He is definitely a growing boy. Everything is going well for him (although he definitely didn't like getting shots!) I have been enjoying being home with him this week (although I felt like I was playing hookie.) We went to a group at a church near my house called Mom's Cafe. It was fun to meet some new people that live near me. I met a great woman who makes her own laundry detergent, wipes, etc. She is going to give me some of the laundry soap to give it a try. She said it works better than Tide and doesn't have all the additives. She said that if I like it she will give me the recipe. It only costs $1 to make 4 gallons. WAY better than even generic detergent. I think I will find lots of ways to cut costs as I get to know her better:)

Next week is spring break. I am trying to think of some ideas of what to do with the kiddos that will be fun, but inexpensive. Joe got a free week at the YMCA, so I think we will go there a few times next week. Plus, I plan to go to some cheap movies with the boys at the $3 theaters. This will be the first time ever that I will be home with the boys for Spring Break. I think it will be fun (hopefully they don't drive me crazy! LOL)

2 Months!

Wow! It is hard to believe that Quinn is 2 months old now. He is growing quickly and is starting to lose that "newborn" look. I started back to work a few weeks ago but last Friday I was laid off. We are still getting information about unemployment so we don't know how the finances will work out, but I trust that God will provide (he always has.) The good news is I get to spend more time home with Quinn, as well as Zan & Will.
I gave up my email and Facebook for Lent so I will definitely have a lot of time on my hands during the day. I am looking forward to going back to my breastfeeding group and my MOMS group at church. With the weather getting nicer, hopefully we can take some walks and shed off some of this baby fat:)
We go into the doctor tommorow for Quinn's 2 month check-up. I can't wait to see how much he has grown.
