We spent yesterday (Saturday) in St. Cloud with my family hanging out in honor of my birthday and my cousin Katie's birthday. We took Quin in the hotel swimming pool. He didn't know what to think at first (his first reaction was terror). But after a while he started to enjoy it and so did we . . . until we saw that his arms, feet and lips were turning blue. Time to get out!

Curly Locks

Michelle loves to take pictures of Quin's hair after his baths. This is her current favorite.

Nummy-num-nums!

Quin got his first taste of finger foods. Michelle picked up some teething biscuits to see how Quin would handle it. I think you'll be able to figure out for yourself how much he liked them from the pictures. Enjoy! Yummy!!!

The Lazy Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day, the three of us spent a lazy day at home together. The only time I went outside was to pick up take-out lunch and rent a movie. Michelle didn't change out of her jogging pants all day, I wore a ratty-old flannel shirt I've had since high school, and Quin didn't have to have a bath in the morning which gave him some stellar hair. Here's a couple shots of his cool hair (and him snacking on his shoe).

Check it out, Grandpa!

Two of Quin's favorite activities are standing and bouncing. Here he's showing off for Grandpa Bruce.

Helping Daddy & Uncle Kyle

Last weekend, my Mom said that my brother, Kyle, & I had to get the rest of our stuff out of the upstairs hallway. Here's some highlights of what we found along the way.

Here's my son doing my brother's work. I think there are laws against this.

Mom uncovered the wig that I bought for when Kyle played Richard Simmons in a skit of Celebrity Jeopardy. Quin looks more like chia pet with it on.

The other thing that was uncovered was the radio I used at Snyders when I sorted shipments on Saturdays. I used a label maker to mark my property with my name and my favorite quote. They both fit when posted on Quin as well . . . see for yourself (look at the red and green labels).

For Jenny

See, Quin drinks from the washcloth too!

We broke out the toy that Quin got from Grandma & Grandpa K last night to see what he'd do with it. He loved it! He loved it so much that he was falling asleep playing with it. It got to the point where he was so tired that he kept hitting himself with the handle while rolling the toy. It was very funny! You can tell by the picture that he was very proud - maybe a little too proud - haha!!!

Standing with toys

Quin's been doing this the last couple of weeks. He got a neat toy from Uncie Minh for Christmas. Well, Quin likes to play with it, but also use it as a standing tool and now a walker as well. It's pretty funny. So here's the still picture and the video Michelle took.

The Crib Mile

On January 23rd, Michelle was getting ready for work before getting Quin up for his Friday visit with Grandpa Bruce. Suddenly, Michelle heard Quin's mobile playing music. She peaked out of the bathroom and found our little jail-bird standing in his crib and pushing buttons on the mobile. Needless to say I lowered the crib mattress down one again that afternoon.

Well, the other night I was out picking up birthday gifts for Jason and Michelle found Quin standing again, but got pictures this time. At first, he seemed OK.

But after he saw her taking pictures, he was not OK. His mother thought this was hilarious.
