Summer Fun!

Our summer is off to a fabulous start! 

Jason has been off of work recovering from his knee surgery (everything went well and he is already back in the gym). He has been off for 3 weeks so we have been able to have tons of family fun time in the sun!

Quinten has been getting in very silly moods lately and laughing a lot!

It turns out Quinten LOVES the pool!

 He will stay in the water for up to two hours straight!

He loves floating in his tube, playing with other kids and their toys, and jumping in!

Either from sitting...

or standing!

Of course even in the water his feet are crossed!

 Chillin' in the raft!

Between the sun and all his swimming, Quinten has been taking either 2 good naps a day or one good nap (2 hours) and an early bedtime (between 6 and 7)!

If we are at the beach he will take an afternoon nap on the beach, usually if we go to the pool when he comes home and hits the air conditioning he gets a second wind of energy and just wants to play!

 Happy 4th of July!

He did not stay up for fireworks, so we watched them on tv:)

 We have taken a few early morning trips to the beach so that Callie could swim and play with her furry friends.

It seems like Quinten is doing new things every day!

He has more teeth coming in...he now has his 2 bottom middle, his 2 fangs, top 2 middle and this morning his bottom sides started popping through!

He can stand for a minute or so, but will fall when he gets excited or realizes that no one is holding on to him and will even try to take a few steps!

He is starting to help clean up his toy messes by putting his toys in the box. 

When we put the changing pad on the floor he crawls over to it and lays down to get his diaper changed...this is pretty funny because he often laughs when he does it, so we are never sure what to expect!!!

He is starting to figure out his shape toy and can put the circle in the right spot and the lid on a container.
First trip to the library...he enjoyed Tot Time where we got to meet other moms and babies and sing songs:)

Quinten and I tried our first Mommy Baby yoga class Thursday.

It was awesome, we met other mommies and babies.

Quinten had fun crawling around, stretching and checking out all the yoga blocks!

All this play is turning our little man into an eating machine!
He tried cow milk for the first time this week....LOVED IT! drank a 9 oz bottle (he usually only drinks 3-5 oz at a time).

Quinten's current schedule is:

Wakes up between 5:30 and 7:00 (unfortunately we are still on early wake up time from school)

Breakfast: cereal or toast & fruit (a banana) near 8:00

Either take Callie to the beach, go to the library, yoga, or just take a walk and play at the house.

Nap: 1 to 2 hrs. falls asleep between 9:30 and 11:00 

Noon: lunch (avocado, chicken, chic peas, edamame) loves any beans!

POOL or BEACH TIME!

2:00 snack usually he will eat more fruit at pool and then a yogurt when we get home. 

Nap: if he takes a 2nd nap it is usually near 3:30 he will drink some milk before he dozes off or become energized by the air conditioning and skip his nap.

Soon after he wakes he eats dinner (5:30) 

Bedtime: Quinten will take a bath near 6:30, watch a dvd, read books, have some milk and then hopefully off to bed for the night.

He does still wake up near 1:00 and between 4:30 and 5:30 for some milk:)
