8 Months

Yes already he is a 3 quarters of a year old....Waaaahhhhh!!!

He weights over 20 lbs now and I have no idea how long he is. I guess I could have measured him with my sewing tape, but I didn't.

This month  has brought many things for Quentin.  He stands successfully now with support and loves to walk while holding Mommy or Daddy's hands.  He crawls like a champ now.

He has no teeth still!!! However his gums are so swollen, poor little guy!

He loves to eat steak and toast and I am sure he would eat them for every meal.  Quentin also says DaDa like crazy now.  Every morning he wakes up saying da da da da da da da da.  He has not yet succesfully said Mama.

His new favorite game is who ever is on the floor is his jungle gym and he loves to climb all over everyone! 

He also would not lie down for his pictures so this is what we got!

Perfect Combination

Wow this kid is the perfect combination of both Doug and I.  The bath picture is Doug in the top picture and Quentin in the bottom one.  He looks just like him to me. So cute.

  

This picture is Quentin sitting in the park smiling and next to him is me at my school concert in grade 6.

I find it so weird that he can look so much like the both of us! But he is so freaking cute I can not get enough of these pictures! 

7 Months

WOW where did those 7 months go!  He is getting so big and mobile and has such a personality!

He weighs 19 pounds 12 ozs and is around 25 inches long.  No teeth yet but has major signs of teething. 

He rolls and scooches everywhere he wants to go.  He is starting to show intrest in crawling and gets up on all fours and rocks forward and backwards.  But still no forward movement. 

We have also transitioned into the tub with out the baby bath.  He just hangs out with a towel under his bum so he doesn't slip.

The other big thing that has change is Quentin is now feeding himself.  I read up on baby led weaning because apparently I was so mislead.  It is not about weaning a baby from breast feeding, it is about the baby learning to eat food pieces, that means no more purees.  However he still has some puree in the morning when he has oats.  He is so freaking cute when he is eating, bananas and now toast is his favorite food.

28 love filled days

As most have probably heard Instagram is awesome!  A very dear friend of mine motivated me and I participated in 28 love filled days for the month of February.  So much to love and be thankful for.  Here is a peak of my days(minus three because they wouldn't fit).

Quentin 6 Months

Wow a lot of stuff has happened in Quentin's life this month!

Quentin is now 18 lbs 9 ozs and measures 25 inches. He has tripled his birth weight in 6 months.

  
He has officially learned to roll from tummy to back which he is not suppose to be doing yet, however he is suppose to roll from back to tummy and the day before he turned 6 months he did it!  Daddy and I were both here to see it and I even caught it on tape!!!  He loves to chew on all his toys that he now will squirm around to get to on the floor.  I guess this is the just the beginning of the scary moving baby stages!

The day Quentin turned 5 months he found his voice, now he talks non stop.  It is super cute, he will scream just to have people look at him.  If Guinness is just sitting not paying attention to him Quentin will scream until the dog comes to him or pays attention to him, poor dog doesn't know what he is in for!

Quentin has also learned a new trick in the tub.  He has a rubber duck that we have so cleverly named Miss Ducky.  He loves this duck and will do anything to get it when it floats away.  He has now started to try to stand up in the tub but just leans forward and gets his bum up of the tub, so if I wasn't holding him he would fall head first in his little Pooh tub.  As funny as it looks it kind of scares me that I can not take my hands of him even for a second now!

We also had our first taste of juice.  I made apple and kiwi juice from fresh fruit and he seemed to like it, however he is not sure yet exactly how to use his sippy cup but he likes it. 


This is one of his hospital bracelets next to his amber beads that he wears on his ankle.  The size difference is crazy.  The bottom picture is his hospital bracelet around his not so little ankles! 

Quentin 5 Months

Another month where I am super behind!   Time gets away from me, but I do have the pictures already and good to go.

Quentin is 18 lbs 1 oz and is growing like  a weed.  He finally busted out of his 0-3 month pants and I had to break down and stop trying to squeeze him in them.  He has had lots of food even though according to public health he should not be eating until 6 months.  At the 5 month mark he had squash, apples, pears, oats and zucchini.  He seems to love all food, except the first bite he makes nasty faces at me.

He still is in love with his jolly jumper but he likes to play on his tummy more now. Quentin got his first sippy cup this month and he likes to hold it and try to jam it in his mouth. He hasn't got the tipping part yet!
