Sorry for the delay with this post! We have been really busy around here with work and the business of raising little ones. Things are going well and our big announcement is that Quinn is officially mobile now!
We were out in Colorado on vacation during the first week of July and that is when he started crawling. Since that day he has gotten progressively faster and has now adapted a "crab crawl" variation to cover ground more quickly. It is really cute! Unfortunately we don't have good pictures of him to share this time but we have a few videos for the family archive :)
Along with the newfound mobility, he has started on solid foods which he devours with great gusto. I think both of these big milestones have made him a happier baby overall. He was absolutely miserable and crabby when he couldn't sit up (4 months was the height of the misery). Now he is not only sitting up, he is rolling around, crawling and pulling himself up on things. He can actually get into that trashcan and start inspecting the contents, not just lay there and wonder what neat things he is missing out on!
It is really cute because the kiddos are starting to play a bit together and even take baths together. I do believe they have a special bond and Olive has always taken an interest in Quinn. Since he has gotten a lot more "interactive" now it is even more fun. In the rec room downstairs, we will play games where Olive and I try to entice Quinn to chase after us.
Olivia is talking up a storm with new words and phrases every single day. She is really starting to get interested in things like counting and the ABC's. She is a huge fan of flowers, butterflies, bumblebees and ladybugs (I anticipate the day when we see a bee and she tries to chase after it!) We went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on our vacation and saw lots of neat animals, especially giraffes which she likes to talk about a lot these days.
That is all for now and I will share a few pictures. And I PROMISE to get more pictures of Quinn for next time. The boy is growing like a weed now!
Jason and I feel so blessed to get to watch these sweet babies grow in these early days. Even though it is hard work at times, we are up for it and enjoying the crazy ride too!
Love, claire
