General Update

I know that I have been a little behind on the blog lately (sorry Gwen...now that you are retired I guess I better update this thing more often), but there have been so many things going on! So, for those of you that have been wondering what our boy is up to... here are a few of the many things:

Quin is close to officially walking. I say close because he hasn't built up the confidence to walk everywhere. He does, however, get immense pleasure out of walking between Tim and I, usually only taking a handful of steps before falling into one of us. He then gets back up and does it again, always signing for more and laughing the entire time. I will post more on this when I either get some pictures/ video or when he is full on walking.

Quin has tooth #10 working its way through. It is the top right tooth and seems to be coming in a bit crooked. It actually hasn't caused him as much discomfort as I expected it to, then again I suppose it is a tiny tooth in comparison to the four molars he got all at once!

Quin has gotten really good at signing. At this point, he has pretty much gotten down all of the signs I have taught him: more, eat/hungry, water, milk, cat, dance, bath, cookie, cracker, no more, all finished, and up. We are still working on pain/hurt, please, thank you, mom, dad, and bird. I am just not sure what signs to introduce from here. This signing stuff really is great!

Quin loves music. I think perhaps this is his favorite thing right now. A few weeks ago I would have said eating was the favorite, but lately he has gotten too picky with food and tends to get upset while eating. The only thing about music that he views as upsetting is the absence of it. When he feels like listening, he points to the receiver for me to turn it on (or if the remote is within reach he will try to do it himself) and then signs that he would like to dance. Once the music starts, he dances! It is the cutest thing to watch.

Quin has been doing so much lately that I could continue this all day, but I will put another post in a few days when I have some new pictures.
