Happy Halloween!

Look at me! I can sit up on my own (for a few seconds at least!)

Tyson requested a Mater pumpkin. It needed a little bit of reconstruction after carving.

The cutest little duck. Quinny says quack, quack!

Tyson is the sweetest little farmer!

We're ready to trick or treat!

Let's go that way...

His first treats! He was such a sweet boy and said thank you to everyone.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Age: 5 months

Weight: Not sure, but she's definitely gained. She'll be weighed again at her 6m well baby visit.

Height: Not sure, will be measured next month.

Size: She's still wearing some 0-3m clothes, but mostly 3-6m. 3m Carters, some 6m Carters pjs. She's wearing a size 1-2 diaper.

Hair: It's really gotten longer, so I think our days of Quinn's crazy hair may be past us. It's laying down more since it's longer. We miss the crazy!

Teeth: Zero but still drooling.

Sleeping: Eh. She went through a growth spurt over the last month and started waking up in the middle of the night again. Some nights she sleeps through and others she wakes up several times. She's still sleeping in our room but we ditched the swaddle blanket a few weeks ago.

She goes down for the night around 7-7:30 and wakes up anywhere from 5-7am usually.

She's awake for much longer stretches during the day and takes 2-3 naps.

Eating: Five 6oz. bottles of Alimentum throughout the day. Still on Prilosec for her reflux. We'll be starting solids next month.

Movement: She's rolling EVERYWHERE! Rolls from back to belly and belly to back, can inch around on the floor, can tripod sit for a few seconds before toppling over. Loves to chew on her toes and she can sit up from an incline position. She cannot be left alone on any surface without an enclosure.

We brought out the jumperoo last week and she likes to play with the toys. She's not tall enough to get bouncing yet though.

Milestones: Showing interest in toys, her stork bites on her forehead and nose are fading, moving all over the place.

Favorite toys/activities: Chattering and smiling, watching her big brother, playing in her activity gym, riding in the stroller, baths. Loves her paci. Overall, she's a happy girl and rarely fussy.

Dislikes: Being hungry or sleepy.

Words: None yet, just chattering and screeching.

She loves her toes!

She's so strong and can hold herself up for several seconds at a time.

Daddy was here to entertain and make her smile :)

Her cheeks have really filled out!

Our silly girl!

Happy 5 months baby girl!

Catching Up

It's been a while, but I'm still here.

Ryan was out of town for work a few weeks ago and Quinn came with me to Tyson's room while I was doing his bedtime routine. Despite these photos, he really didn't appreciate her being in his bed. He kept saying "Mom, pick her up". :)

Quinn - 4 Month Stats

Quinn had her 4 month well baby visit with the pediatrician today. She's a healthy, growing girl! In the words of her doctor, "she looks great!"

Weight: 13.0 pounds (40th%)

Length: 24.75 inches (75th%)

Head Circumference: 43 centimeters (90th%). Who knew she had such a huge head! I have noticed that depending on her clothes, it can be a challenge to get her tops over her noggin. :)

And just because a blog post isn't complete without at least one photo...Baxter thinks Q's changing table belongs to him. He didn't care if she was already on it.

I guess her head does kind of look huge from this angle, huh?

Quinn - 4 Months

Age: 4 months

Weight: She'll be weighed tomorrow at her 4m well baby visit, but she weighed 12 lbs 7oz at her GI appointment last week.

Height: I'll update tomorrow!

Size: She's still wearing her 0-3m clothes and a size 1 diaper. I tried a 3-6m onesie on her today and it was huge.

Hair: Crazy. Same as always. It's grown quite a bit and you can see where it's coming in lighter.

Teeth: Zero, but she's been drooling for weeks. She's also chewing on her hands a ton, so I'm not sure if that means teeth soon or that they're still months away.

Sleeping: Can I say I love this baby? She is consistently sleeping from from about 7-7:15pm until 6am. I wish she would learn to sleep in on weekends, but I'll take a baby that consistently sleeps through the night! She's still sleeping in our room.

She also takes several naps a day, ranging from 30 minutes - 2 hours. She's only awake for about 2 hours during the day before needing a nap.

Eating: Five 5oz. bottles of Alimentum throughout the day. Still on Prilosec for her reflux. I thought it was getting better and then it got way worse.

Movement: She rolled from her belly to her back, she's found her hands and toes, can grasp hanging toys in her gym, and she's thisclose to rolling from her back to her belly.

Milestones: Rolling, holding her head up.

Favorite toys/activities: Chattering and smiling, watching her big brother, playing in her activity gym, riding in the stroller, baths. Loves her paci. Overall, she's a happy girl and rarely fussy.

Dislikes: Being hungry or sleepy.

Words: None yet, just chattering.
