Quinn Discovers Shadows

He Did It!

I'm Still Standing...yeah, yeah, yeah

Look who decided to stand up again! Q is actually on his way back down in this photo. I get so excited when I "catch" him that I stumble over myself trying to get the camera! Quinn is such a strong, determined, little boy!

Oh My Gosh!

Tonight, I was cooking dinner while Q was watching Baby Einstein-Van Gogh edition. I looked over to check on him and the child was STANDING up holding onto my magazine bucket! STANDING UP! On his feet! All the way up! I just froze! Should I call Ben? Should I post it on Facebook? Wait! I should take a picture! Too late! He sat back down!

Does This Mean We Can Stop Buying Toys?

Signing

Quinn has signed "eat" a couple more times this week. It's still difficult to tell if he's signing intentionally. We haven't noticed any other "words" yet. However, he grins from ear to ear when we sign "daddy" and "more."

By George, I think he's got it...well, maybe

I think Quinn has started signing the word "eat." Tell me what you think about this:

While Ben and I were eating dinner last night, Quinn was playing on the floor in front of us (Yes, we eat dinner at the coffee table in front of the tv. I know. It's an awful habit!) Out of nowhere, Quinn sits himself up facing me and signs "eat." I wasn't quite sure if that was what he was actually doing. But I thought it would be a good idea to play along. So I asked him if he wanted to eat (all while signing). He sat there for a moment...then signed again. So Ben put Q in the highchair and fed him some applesauce.

While changing Quinn's diaper this morning after he woke up, he signed "eat" again! We acted out the same scenario as the night before. So I immediately took him downstairs and fed him breakfast.

I'm interested to see if he does it again today!
