Quinn is 9 weeks old this week. He is more willing to give out smiles now. That little smile of his just melts me. I can just sit and watch him sleep. He's so peaceful. One way that I know he's in a deep sleep is when he has one or both arms slung up over his head. For some reason, that is how he is most comfortable and relaxed. This morning he was getting restless laying on my bed while I was getting ready in the bathroom. Mia came into the bedroom, and I asked her to go sing him a song. Quinn loves music. LOVES IT. It can be just instrumental, singing, or even humming. He loves to sit and listen to it. He immediately quieted down and watched her with that wide-eyed look of his. She proceeded to sing every song she could think of including Itsy Bitsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Bingo. When she ran out of songs, I started making suggestions, so she took requests. She sang her Indian song for the Thanksgiving program at school as well as her ABC's and Happy Birthday. Quinn loved it. She kept running into the bathroom to tell me each time he smiled at her. I told her that he was smiling because he loves her. She said, "Yeah, and when I make fishie faces at him, he smiles, too!"
I know that they could still change, but I feel fairly certain that Quinn's eyes will stay blue. Since we both have hazel eyes, we were surprised when Mia ended up with blue eyes. I figured the odds of another blue-eyed baby were pretty low, but that's what we got. Mia's eyes are a pretty light blue. Quinn's baby blues are a darker blue. They are the exact same shade of blue as my dad's eyes.
It's sweet to hear how Mia talks to Quinn. On the way home from daycare today, I turned up the radio a bit to hear a song I liked. From the back seat I heard her ask Quinn, "Is that too loud, sweetheart? It's okay. The song is almost over, sweetheart." Quinn wasn't crying, so I'm not sure why she thought he didn't like it.
Quinn has been going to daycare for a week now. I'm back at work, too. It's been hard being away from him. I miss him and Mia all day. He's been doing fine there. He's had no problems with all of the noise of the daycare and other crying babies. Mia had him conditioned to a loud environment already!
