Sisters!

Sage had to get in on the monthly pictures with Quinn.  Love these two!

Five Months!

Going along with my being late on these monthly updates of Quinn she is now well over 5 1/2 months and finally here is her 5 month update.  She continues to be such a happy baby!  She only cries when she is hungry, has a dirty diaper or is tired.  She loves to watch Sage and hangs on her every word.  Sage is so good with her and loves having Quinn as her little sister.  We are very blessed that the transition from one to two girls has gone so smoothly.   The girls are interacting more and if Quinn is crying or upset all it takes is for Sage to go talk to her and she will quiet right down.  Her first tooth still isn't in yet and she is chewing on everything and drooling all over the place. 

This is the look I usually see - her smiling face and I love it!

Yogurt melts

This was taken right after Quinn tried yogurt melts for the first time.  She loved them but I think we will wait a few more weeks to try them again.  I had to break them into 4 pieces and give them to her.  She loved the taste but isn't quite ready for them. 

Petting Zoo

A few weeks ago at Sage's school they had a petting zoo.  I got this picture texted to me from her teacher!  I thought she looked like she was having fun.  Until I talked to her teacher.  Sage was the only one that wouldn't ride the pony.  Maybe next time!

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!
