One Toothed Monster

Well, the long awaited first tooth has finally made it's arrival. After several months of teething, Quin's lower right front tooth popped out last week. If memory serves me, it was the same day I lost two of mine. I was to go in and get my wisdom teeth out, and what do you know, Quin was replacing them with his own. The circle of lif...er...teeth I suppose.

Here we are in one of our first pictures together as father and son, me minus two teeth, and Quin plus one tooth.

And then Quin and his wonderful mommy. No dental escapades for her this week. She'll have to wait until she's old to lose some teeth I suppose.

Another of Quin's recent accomplishments is a new found ability to half crawl. He's quite mobile these days, just not crawling in the normal sense. One thing he has figured out is how to move his legs when on all fours. He's yet to figure out the hands, so after a few shuffles of the knees, he usually does a face plant. I'm sure the hands are coming soon, then there will be no stopping Quin.

We decided to get out and enjoy the nice weather this weekend and use the opportunity to get a few (hundred) more pictures. We went down to the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, which is a common spot for bridal photographers. In fact, we saw some. We didn't get to go to as many different spots in the gardens for pictures as we wanted because Quin was getting hot and tired and a little cranky, so we had to cut our visit short. But in the end, we walked away with some winners.
