Up North Trip

We had a great time at my parents last month.  Sage was on Spring Break and Reese was supposed to travel most of the week so I took off with the girls on our 10 hour day of travel.  Reese ended up not traveling and getting a ton of stuff done at our house!  Sage was a great traveler and Quinn did really well!   We only stopped three times on the way there.  Coming home was a different story Quinn wasn't happy and we made lots of stops and I was very glad to get home and be off the road.  We had lots of fun at my parents and here are some pictures of our fun times!

 Planting with Nana

Sage had so much fun helping Nana plant tomatoes and cosmos.  Nana has a greenhouse and gets lots of plants started before they get planted outside.  Sage loved helping Nana!

Baking Bread with Papa!

 While we were up north Sage had to make bread with Papa.  She loves to pound the bread. 

 Playdate at Nana's!

 A few friends and their kids came over to my parents for a playdate.  It was so fun to see all the kids.  Here are Camdyn and Quinn (Quinn is 3 weeks older than Camdyn).  Look at those cheeks on Quinn!

 A visit with Great-Grandpa

 We went to see my Grandpa and had a great afternoon.  He hadn't met Quinn yet and he enjoyed holding her.  She kept grabbing onto his finger and he loved it! 

 Sewing with Nana!

Nana is always making things for the kids and they love it!  Sage wanted to help Nana sew.  Sage says that she wants her own sewing machine.  Looks like I have to learn how to sew!  

Busy Month

I can't believe it has been a month since I have blogged.  I have missed it and I hope you all have too!  I was just going through my pictures and there are lots to share.  We have had a really busy month so no blogging for me and we also got a new computer.  I was having technical difficulties (thanks Papa for building the computer and helping me out!).  Our busy month:  we were at my parents for ten days, home for a week, gone to Texas for eight days, then some friends were in town for three days, and then Nana and Papa visited for four days.  Whew!  We are glad to be home and so glad that Spring is here.  Except for my horrible allergies we are loving Spring.   Back to blogging I go!

Fist

This is how Quinn fell asleep at the wedding - cradled in my arms with her fist shoved in her mouth.  This poor girl better be teething for all the grief she is giving us.  I am sure she is hurting and we are trying to help alleviate her pain.  Poor kiddo is just chewing on her fist all day long. 

Wedding

Two weekends ago Quinn and I went with Aunt Shelley to Andrea Baker's wedding.  We got to see Heather and Paul at the wedding!  It was good to go to the wedding and see Andrea - it had been a very long time since any of us have spoken at length with Andrea.  Hoping that we can all be back in touch again.  Quinn did really good at the wedding and the reception.  We stayed with Terry and Gena and they had lots of fun playing with Quinn. 

Big Sis & Little Sis

Sage had to get in on the 3 Month photo shoot!

3 Months!

I am obviously way behind on this post - as Quinn is now almost 4 months old.  This picture was taken when she was 3.5 months old.  I did weigh her at 3 months when she had to go in for a few shots and with a diaper and clothes on she weighed 13lbs, 12oz.  She had gained two pounds in one month!   Our very fast growing girl!  She is generally pretty happy - cries when she is hungry, tired or needs a diaper change.  She seems to be teething already - I know it seems crazy early.  But she can't get enough of having her fists in her mouth and her gums look irritated and seem to have bits of white almost popping through.  Will keep you posted on this.  Hoping that the teeth are behind her still getting up at night.  She usually gets up once per night and wants to eat even though she has plenty of reserves!  She has started talking more and more.  We all love it!  She will hold onto a toy if you put it in her hand.  We stopped nursing at 3 months and are all bottles of formula now.  She decided it was time to go to all bottles!  Mind of her own already.  She has great head control and we have started using the Ergobaby carrier and she loves it! 

Dance is over!

Sage really enjoyed her dance class!  We were both sad to see it end.  During her last class they put on a little show for the parents.  They showcased what they had learned during the ballet, jazz and tap classes.  Reese got to come see the last class and Sage was so excited to have him there watching,   

Braids

Lately when I go to do Sage's hair she says that she wants a braid like Anna and Elsa from Frozen.  I try to get her braids as she asks - but apparently not as close as she likes them!  She loves Frozen and it is her go to show to watch right now.  Wonder how long it will stay her favorite?  We were at the car dealership getting the oil changed in the van and she looked to cute I snapped her picture!

Getting Big

This girl is getting so big and the time is flying by way to fast.  Last week we switched her into size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothes.  Those feel like big milestones to me and they feel like they are happening way to quickly!
