Q - 4 Months

Napping on the princess
couch

Here we are again - another month has gone by! Quinn is now 4 months old (yesterday) and we can't imagine this family without her! Quinn has the ability to make anyone smile ... it's impossible not to respond to her infectious grin with one of your own. In the last month, we've experienced quite a bit of development ...

• Stepped up the chatter even more. We have such lovely conversations! Fiona's conversations at this age were full of drama (and often ended so sadly), but Quinn's are hilarious!
• Smiling and giggling. All the time! Such a happy, happy girl
• Falling into a more predictable schedule for eating, napping, and playing. Lots more awake time, which we love. She is also starting to self-soothe and put herself to sleep. Hooray! (and occasionally will take a crib nap at home)
• About done napping during meals. She wants to be at the table with the rest of the gang. We think she is ready to start some solid food in a few weeks!
• Met Santa for the first time. Loves the jolly guy!
• Getting more interested in playing with toys ... and her feet and hands. Able to entertain herself more independently ... but still loves one-on-one attention.
• Loves to play with her pacifier and moves it from her hands to mouth often.
• Has started trying to mimic sounds. She is surprisingly good at it. Mike swears that a couple times when she has been mad at him, that she has sobbed "mama." 
• Had her first sick day from day care. Yucky colds for both girls!
• Tried out the jumperoo for the first time. She can't quite get it to bounce yet, but she loves the "upright" experience.
• Continues to work on her core strength and practices sitting often.

Fiona and Quinn continue to adore each other and the big sister is loving that Q is becoming more able to play. We love to watch them interact - even when Quinn grabs Fiona's hair (crying) or Fiona is too rough with her love (crying).

Babies by comparison (wow, those are some cute little girls!)
