Getting So Big!

Yes, we're still here.  Life has been so hectic for the last two months.  I like to plan ahead, but lately I'm just happy to have a game plan ready for the next day.  Quinn has been doing so many new things.  He now has four teeth.  The two front bottom teeth came in almost at the same time when he was seven months old.  Just in the last week, he's gotten two more coming in on top.  I can see two more teeth on top that are going to break through very soon.  It's been a little rough on him cutting those four teeth on top at once.  He's my happy boy, though, so he soldiers through it.  I've been trying to get a picture of his teeth ever since the first one came in.  Quinn is tolerant of most things, but he can't stand for anyone to mess with his mouth or nose.  Whether it's wiping his nose or looking at his teeth, he isn't compliant.

Those new teeth are coming in handy with all of the foods he eats now.  I've made him a lot of different purees.  He's had avocado, apples, peaches, pears, plums, bananas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, parsnips, and peas.  He wasn't too wild about the parsnips or peas, but he still eats them.  I usually mix the peas with something else he likes such as squash or carrots.  The next new foods I plan on making him are mangoes and green beans.  He's started eating a few finger foods recently.  We've given him soft, small pieces of sweet potato, bananas, yellow squash, and blueberries.  He loves baby yogurt too as well as Cheerios and several of the Gerber baby snacks.

He's not too sure about them...

but he eats them anyway.

Here's a random picture of Mia walking around in her daddy's shoes.  It didn't matter how many times she fell down, she kept wearing them.
