Teeth

Quinn has been chewing on anything she can get into her hands.  She has also been a drooling machine.  I wish these teeth would just come in!  It is usually this toy in the picture below that Quinn has been chewing on.  It was a favorite of Sage's when she was this age and Quinn loves it too!

Museum fun!

We went to the Children's Museum a few weeks ago with our playgroup.  What a fun day!   Quinn did really well and napped in the stroller. Quinn went on her first carousel ride and since Sage wouldn't go on a horse she sat next to us on the bench.  Love the times we spend with our playgroup.  Very lucky to have these special kids and their Momma's in our life. 

 Sage and Andrew - love this little man!

Quinn enjoying the carousel!

Carrots!

After seeing how much Quinn liked her oatmeal we had a feeling she would like food!   She definitely does!   She has liked everything we have fed her: carrots, sweet potatoes,butternut squash, peas, pears, apples, prunes, and bananas.  I have only bought two containers of baby food and have made all the rest.  I bought a thing of carrots to see what consistency I should make her food.  Then bought the prunes as well - poor kiddo needed a little help with her digestive system and the prunes worked!  I hope I stay on this track of making her food - so easy, so much cheaper and so healthy!  I bought these trays that make it so easy to freeze the food in one ounce servings then after they are frozen transfer them to ziploc bags.  I just pull out what I need for each day and let it thaw in the refrigerator. 

Baseball Game

We went to a baseball game on Mother's Day.  It was a fun family day with a morning at church, then breakfast out, home for a quick nap for the girls and then downtown for the baseball game.  It was beautiful out nice and sunny, in the low 80's.  Our seats were even in the shade.  A perfect way to spend Mother's Day!   

 A family selfie - not bad!

 The view from our seats - it is a great ballpark!

Cake

For Mother's Day Sage said she wanted to bake me a cake.  So Sage and Reese went to the store and bought a cake mix and frosting.  Sage wanted to buy me $6 princess sprinkles but Reese made her pick some sprinkles in the $2 range instead!  She was so excited to make the cake and had to start immediately after they got home from the store. She was so into the whole process from putting the ingredients into the bowl, stirring it up, frosting it and putting sprinkles ALL over the cake.  When the cake was cool enough to frost it Reese was outside mowing the lawn.  Sage couldn't wait to eat the cake so she and I frosted it.  Loved my cake!

 

Exersaucer Fun!

Here is Quinn having some fun in the exersaucer!

Stroller Milestone

We went to the park a few weeks ago, Sage road her bike and I put Quinn in the stroller without her carseat!  A big milestone for Quinn!   She isn't quite sitting up on her own but when she is reclined in the stroller it is perfect.  I put it all the way down for the walk to the park and she took a nap.  Then when she woke up she got to sit up and look around.  She was loving it!  Poor Quinn while we were at the park I thought she was crying - nope her eyes were running from allergies.  Then on the way home Sage had the biggest tantrum yet - it was a fun morning!  I ended up having to push her bike and the stroller home = unhappy momma!  The joys of parenting a smart and headstrong girl.  So looking forward to the teen years!

More Easter

I found a few more pictures from Easter and two videos as well.  Sage was so cute looking for her basket and the eggs.  She was so excited for each and every egg.  Love the excitement she has for holidays!

Cereal

Right after Quinn turned 4 months we were in Texas for a week.  I decided to wait and try cereal with Quinn until we came home.  It was Easter Sunday and we had a yummy meal and I decided Quinn needed a meal too!   She was a little unsure at first but then she loved it!   Here are some pictures Reese took of her first bite.  I love her expressions as she realizes what is happening.

 

Here is a video from that day!  She loved her cereal and has been doing really well trying new foods.
