In one of the local villages they had a small fair with a variety of kid rides so we brought Quinlan down to enjoy the atmosphere. He was a little overwhelmed at first but he loves staring at people so he settled down quickly. We actually took him on his first fair ride. Nothing to exciting just a merry-go-round but he seemed to enjoy it.

Now that he has some idea of what is going on around him we took him to the local duck pound. We had a great time giving the birds bread even though he would much rather try to eat it himself. He is developing his own unique personality with each passing day. He is so active it feels as if he is ready to get up and walk at any point forgoing all the crawling.

Just some photos of Quinlan enjoying some food. Although it does not look like it he does actually get some food into his mouth. He loves eating and thinks that anything that he can reach and pick up is food. He is now eating a variety of fruit and veggies and he loves plain yogurt.

We are amazed at how much Quinlan has changed over the last month. It seems like everyday he is learning something new. He is now grabbing things on purpose and trying to eat everything he can put into his mouth. He can't quite sit up on his own yet but he is almost there. He laughs and giggles at everything and loves to be naked! Although not sleeping all the way through the night yet he is not waking up every hour anymore. Lyn just spent a week at home with him on her half-term break now it is my turn ;-)

Since it is the holiday season we thought we would give a quick three month update. Quinlan as you can guess is changing daily. He is no longer the small little baby that we carried home 12 weeks ago. He now weighs in at around 12 pounds. He is interacting with us more and more each day. His smiles melt our hearts every time we see one. He has started to giggle and coo while we talk to him. He loves walking around the block either being held or in his stroller. While alone with Dad he loves to be carried sitting forward while listening to a song. He loves listening to mommy read books! He definitely knows what wants and when he wants it and is not shy about letting us know about it. We love him more with each passing day and would not change anything in our little family.

These last two months have flown by on us! Before we know it, Quinlan will be off to college! He is getting so big, as of his last checkup he weighed in at a healthy 11lbs. He is very responsive and loves to smile and giggle. The Dr says that he is healthy and growing well. She even says his snorting is normal even though we find highly amusing!

We have not taken him on any major trips yet so most of the photos take place in our house or within a short drive. He loves to go for walks while being held (it is a sure way to get him to fall asleep!) while walking around the block.

We are enjoying every minute we have with little Quinlan and realize each day how lucky we are to have a healthy and happy baby at home with us to enjoy!

Quinlan's first trip to a pumpkin patch. Although not as good as the ones you can find in Vermont, this one at a local farm was fun to visit. We had a good time walking around trying to find the best pumpkins to carve. Quinlan enjoyed some of the experience while other parts were less satisfying. We took this chance to take our first family photo and although Mom and Dad are tired, we could not ask for a better baby. We love our new life and can not wait to experience more firsts as they come along for Quinlan.
