Easter Egg Hunt

Hi everyone!

This morning we went to an Easter Egg Hunt on the sqare in downtown Decatur.  Here's a picture of the square before things started. 

There were lots of other kids there, and the organizers gave us all rabbit ears. 

We met our neighbors, the Flakes, downtown.  They took a picture of me, Mommy and Daddy while we waited.

Then, the hunt began.

I managed to grab about twelve eggs before Daddy decided that was enough candy for me.  We went to the steps and shared one of the marshmallow eggs. 

I had a great time.  I hope I get to do it again next week.

The Children's Museum

Last weekend, Grandpa Steve and Grandma Pam came into town and got to see how big and strong I am now.  Grandpa Steve tried to toss me around. 

But I overpowered him. 

On Friday, Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa and Grandma took me to the Children's Museum.  It was big with lots of different toys and things to do. 

They had a huge train set.  I like trains.  One goes right by our house every day.

Here I am driving circles around Dad.

They also had tons of balls.  I like playing with balls.  Dad's trying to teach me how to throw left-handed.  He says southpaws have it made.

They also had a farm.  Here I am on a tractor helping.

And here I am in a grocery truck transporting all the food from the farm to the grocery store.  Grandpa was helping me steer because I couldn't see over the steering wheel.

Finally, here I am unloading the groceries in the kitchen. 

Grandpa and Grandma had fun too.  Grandpa liked to stack the blocks as high as possible . . .

and then I'd knock them down.

They had a pond.  I tried to catch a duck, but ended up just getting wet.

It was a great time at the museum.  I can't wait to go back. 

The Language of Quinn

Hi again!
Now that I know how to talk, I can get pretty frustrated when people don't understand what I mean. So I thought I'd make a little game f0r you. It's video of me saying some of my favorite words and you have to guess what I'm saying! Hope you have fun!

Erin Go Bragh!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm wearing my green today in celebration (and eating blueberries).

Today we had a playdate with my friend Chase and his mommy, Jen. Since it's a kind of rainy day here, we went to Leapin' Lizards, our favorite indoor playground.
I'm working on some video posts, so check back soon!

Have a great day!

What's up people?
This week has been tough- the doctor says I have two ear infections. Ouch! Mostly they haven't slowed me down, but I have been a smidge cranky this week. Here's a video of how I was feeling.

After the medicine (yummy!) started kicking in, I was back to my old self again.

Lately I've been really into trucks, balls, and stuffing blocks into boxes. We got a new bookshelf that came in a cool box (it's the box I'm inside in the picture up above), and I love dumping out my blocks and then putting them in there one at a time. Here's a video of some of the games I play when Mommy lets me play by myself (don't worry, Mommy was in the kitchen).

So until next time, I'll just be checking on my fishies! Stay healthy!

Fun Times

I've been keeping pretty busy lately, but unfortunately it hasn't been much to take pictures or videos of. However, here are some of my latest activities.

First, the couch. My latest obsession has been stuffing things into the couch.

Here's where I shove most of the stuff- it's the handle to pull out the sleeper sofa. I can fit a ton of stuff in there.
Daddy lifted up the couch tonight. Here's what I was able to put inside it:
a 32-piece block set, a 12-piece shape sorter set, 11 Elmo body part flashcards, all the pieces to two puzzles (26 alphabet pieces and 8 jungle safari animals), a farm set (3 fence pieces, a cow and a sheep), a chip clip and more than a few raisins

Second, I've been loving straws. Mommy gave me some to play with and I made her take the top off my sippy cup so I could practice with them.Here's a riveting video of yesterday's two big activities:

Hope you've enjoyed hearing about my goings on- I'll try to take more pictures soon.

Love, Q-Dawg

P.S.- I do windows!
