I couldn't get a burp out of him before he fell asleep!

Getting to Know Quinn
Since I am sure ya'll are getting tired of seeing pictures of the little man, I thought I would tell you a little something about him. As you can see from the videos, Quinn has started babbling and singing..mostly singing. He is SUCH a morning person (yet another characteristic he doesn't get from me) and wakes up with smiles and giggles everyday. He also enjoys morning reflection time alone in his crib with the help of the 3 elephants on a string- but for no more than 15 minutes usually.
Throughout the day, we sing and dance, read, go for walks, and have tummy time. And sometimes, we break out the Ergo Baby carrier (thanks Niki!). He enjoys listening to the silly songs Ben and I make up and seems genuinely interested in my old sorority songs- poor guy. At the moment, his fave song seems to be "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes" along with the hand motions. But the BEST part of the ENTIRE day is when he discovers the ceiling fan as if it were the first time he had seen it! If he's sitting up, he'll throw himself back just to get a better view.
In the evening, Quinn looks forward to his bath. He's so calm and chilled out during the actual bath and then seems to meditate afterwards. Seriously! He doesn't talk or play....just lays there so I can lotion him up and takes everything in as if he's reflecting on his day. It's the most precious thing to watch!
Oh, one last thing- Quinn loves Eskimo kisses! But who doesn't?
