Changes, Changes, and More Changes

Quinn is just over 3 months old and is behaving like a 4 month old. We are seeing beginning signs of teething. TONS of slobber, lots gnawing on his lovey, and practically eating his hands. He does not care for teething rings (warm or cold), but seems to really like sucking/gnawing clothe. So it looks like we'll go the wet wash clothe route.

There's no more laying him on his back. As soon as we do, he FLIPS (not rolls) right over! He's able to hold his head up and push up with his hands. Sounds advanced, doesn't it?
And he has discovered the "army crawl."

Ben and I were blessed with two weeks of the Q-man sleeping through the night. Then, last weekend he decided he didn't want to do that so much. I think he had several reasons: 1. MawMaw and PawPaw were here 2. He started big boy food- cereal! 3. We got off schedule/routine 4. He just likes to spice things up a bit. Last night, however, we got a FULL night plus some! He woke up around 5 am and nursed for a few minutes, then slept until 9 am!

Quinn is so alert and happy. He takes everything in carefully and seems to be a deep thinker. He's also a huge flirt. Smiles and cuts his eyes at everyone. The boy can work a crowd! He loves for us to read to him, and against Ben's wishes, he LOVES to watch tv- just cartoons and football. Seriously...if we are watching football, the boy will stop what he's doing (including eating) and watch! Oh yeah, and that video series Baby Einstein. You may have heard of it. It's like crack!

Our next check-up is January 2. I'm guessing Q will be 19 pounds and 24 inches long. Okay, gotta run..Master Quinn calls!

Sounds like Mommy and Dada are taking wonderful care of Master Q.

I totally think that Q is advanced. How could he not be?! Come on! Have you met his mom and dad?! ;-)

Isn't it the coolest thing EVER to watch them grow and learn? It still amazes me!

I'm so sorry that we messed up Quinn's schedule so bad. Glad he recovered so quickly.
