Quinn - 6 months

Happy 1/2 Birthday Quinn!

6 month stats:

 25.13" - 25%
14lbs 13oz - 26%

While we feel like she's a chunky little thing she's actually quite small. You'd never know looking at her thighs!

- We've started sleep training. We've had a rough time lately and it's time she starts to learn  to go to sleep on her own and self soothe.

-She eats food like a champ! She really loves food. I was given the go ahead today to let her eat as much as she wants.

- She's starting to stick out her tongue.

- She talks and talks and talks.

- She can sit on her own now.

- She is 100% Mama's girl.

Flower Girls!

The girls have been counting down the time til they got to wear their "wedding dresses". Finally the day had arrived on September 1st. It was time for Amber & Jeff to get married! The girls were super excited. I took them to get their nails painted and while we were their they were spoiled by the nail techs who painted little pictures on their nail and even put their hair into french braids while their nails were drying.

 Girls with Granny

 Abby wanted a picture of her flower nails to show Grandma. 

 Waiting to get their pics taken. 



 Reagan was so enthused to be taking pictures. 

 Quinn & Granny

 Watching the cake being cut.


 Waiting patiently for her turn to dance. 




 Reagan dancing with Aunt Kathy. 

Reagan danced the whole night. Seriously. It didn't matter if she had a partner or not. During one song I noticed that she was the only one dancing and made use of the whole dance floor. I saw people bringing others to the dance floor to watch her and everyone was cheering her on. It was awesome to watch her just dance. I was only able to capture a snip it on video.



 After Abby noticed that there were animal heads in the room where they were dancing she didn't want to go back in no matter how hard we tried. 
She ended up cuddling with Granny and going to sleep.

 Reagan has a dance hangover today. 
She slept in after partying til 11pm and is currently on her second nap.


Quinn's First Food

After a few weeks of Quinn waking up quite early we decided to give food a whirl to see if that would help lengthen her sleeping time. At first it appeared it did but alas she's still waking up. However she LOVES food. She also knew exactly what to do as soon as we put the first spoonful in her mouth. She likes to be fed and you have to pay attention because she will yell at you if you don't feed her fast enough and she will definitely yell when she's done. 

We've tried oatmeal, avocado, sweet potato, peaches, & we're currently on applesauce. The only thing she hasn't loved is avocado and I think that was more of a texture thing then taste.



August Cell Pics

 Ms. Roly Poly now has to be strapped into everything. First kid we've had to do that with!

 4:45am every morning. 



 Reagan's first slumber party!

 First food. Think she looks ready?

 She likes to nibble her toes.


 Time to start making baby food. 

 Game Time!

 Quinn's first Astros game. 



 Noticed the abundance of curls Quinn has while at the bus stop.

Spirit Day.

PreK 4

Abby had to wait for 3 long days to pass after Reagan started school for her to start. She's very excited to be a Busy Bee this year and especially to see all of her friends that she has missed so much this summer. Dad was nice enough to grab a couple of pics since I was at work.



First Grade!

Summer finally came to an end and Reagan was thrilled to be starting First Grade!



Abby's Gymnastics Show Off

The preschool side had a show off day so that the parents could get up close and personal. It's always fun to get out on the mats with the kids so you can see a lot of what they are learning. Abby is quite the natural and does well to be pushed. Shortly after this class she was moved up to the Blue level which is currently the highest level on the preschool side.

 Coach Mike told me she barely needs a finger to get herself over.

She misses her in her new class as they had been together for the past year.
