8 months already, where has the time gone!
I know we have said this before, but it just seems like time is passing so quickly.
We truly treasure every minute with our little peanut. It is unbelievable to watch him grow and change. Every day he seems to become a little more independent. It is so cool to see him recognize where certain things are...when we sit in his rocking chair he scoots himself over to the side and then leans over to see his stuffed animals on the floor. Instantly he smiles and laughs to greet them!
Here are some pictures from this month.
Quinn's look of concentration.
We enjoyed a beautiful weekend at the beach. Chef Jay made us all "green" food...pistachio muffins, corned beef, Irish Soda bread, green chocolate chip mint ice cream and green margaritas!
Quinn had pears and peas;)
Loving some blueberries:)
I took out my phone to make and call and
Mr. Hambone was all smiles thinking his picture was getting taken!
Quinten skyping with GM Jeanne
We were taking his "8 month" pictures and
8 New Things Quinten does at 8 Months...
1. Sits in the shopping cart when we go food shopping.
(This was a long awaited skill, especially for Daddy!)
2. Quinten has figured out how to look in his mirror in the car to see me when I look back at him.
3. Quinten has found Callie's tail and in general finds her hilarious!
4. Stands up on his own when leaning on something.
5. Eats 3 solid meals a day, along with lots of milk and the occasional teething biscuit.
6. Turns when he hears his name.
7. Looks around for Callie when he hears her collar jingle or her walking on the wood floor.
8. Squirming around like crazy!
Once he figures out how to move, we don't think we will be able to keep up. Quinten is always arching back or leaning forward in order to get or see something out of reach.

8 Things Quinten Loves at 8 Months...
1. His giant stuffed bear (Thanks Uncle Eric)!
Quinten gets such a kick out of playing peek a boo with Big Bear. Even when he is half asleep if he sees Big Bear out of the corner of his eye, he can't help but laugh (makes nap time interesting sometimes)
2. Sophie the Giraffe
Quinn has liked Sophie for a long time, but he now loves her so much, he recognizes her name!
3. Talking...lots of vowel sounds, takes turns. I look forward to our daily conversations on the drive home from school.
4. Crosses his legs/feet. It doesn't matter if he is sitting or laying down...even in the bathtub. He is always chillin' out with his legs crossed.
5. Peek a boo!
6. Banging on everything, even himself!
7. Necklaces..no he doesn't like to wear them, if you are wearing one and happen to be holding him, look out!
8. Getting his picture taken, Quinn has turned into quite the ham every time he sees a camera or phone.

Look at that adorable little bunny! And I love the pic of him in his toy basket - totally has that "oh shoot, I just got caught" face! And man, what I wouldn't give to have enjoyed Chef Jay's green spread?! Food here just isn't the same...
