It's hard to believe that with a shaking start eating and growing, Quinn is now one extremely healthy, always happy (and hungry), irresistibly hug-able baby. Dr. Suell was surprised to hear that Q is sitting without support, army crawling, and interested in feeding himself. Regardless of what Ben and I eat and drink, Quinn is interested. You can tell he wants to eat grown-up food so badly! And also to drink from a glass. Dr. Suell gave us the okay to start sippy cup training. So this week Quinn is going to try apple juice.
***Warning: Obnoxious bragging mom alert***
Dr. Suell was also impressed with Quinn's hand/eye coordination and how easily he can pass items from hand to hand. Q is also incredibly engaged with people. He demands eye contact and waits for your reaction while the two of you are "conversing." It's amazing how he anticipates your response. I believe Dr. Suell's exact words were, "Quinn is doing things that a nine-month-old baby should be doing."
My favorite part to the entire check-up is when Ben and I discovered yet another "trick" Quinn has started. While waiting in our exam room, we could hear nurses talking, kids laughing/crying, etc. in the hallway. Quinn wanted to know what all the hubbub was, so he leaned around the door to look. And just watched and listened. Now he loves leaning to look around doors, corners, furniture, you name it. He wants to see what's happening wherever he isn't.

Brag away mom! He's such a sweet baby. I know y'all are just head over heels in love with him and every little thing that he does. I remember being so excited by every new look, or movement, that Cooper learned. Now... he's my 4'6" tall almost out of 1st grade big boy! Where does the time go? Keep the posts coming... I love a good brag! :-)
