This is Two

Quinnie, you are two! It is hard to believe our baby is 2. You are such a little fire crack. You have the biggest personality, the loudest cry and you love to make us laugh. You are just trouble. I think this goes along with being the 3rd child because when you are alone with one of us you are an angel. Otherwise, you have gotten shocked by a light socket on more than one occasion, you write on furniture, bite holes in raw eggs, eat sand, breaks blinds, dump food out of the fridge, wipe vicks on your face, rip Ellie's homework,  and so many more naughty things that come with this age. Sometimes you make us want to pull our hair out. Daddy says you are like the wolverine because you get mad really easily and run around and make a noise like you are going to hurt someone. You are aggressive.  We like to call you Buster when you are acting like that and when you are being sweet and charming we call you our little Nugget. Patchy loves you to pieces but sometimes he is a bit scared of you. But, then you have the biggest brightest and funniest spunkiest personality. You have amazing vocabulary already and your voice sounds like Petry from the Land Before Time. You like to say "very very very very.....".  Like you are very very hungry, or you are very very done. Nobody outside our house understands how much trouble you can be...everyone thinks you are so sweet and innocent. You like to tell people you love them, even the lady that works at the grocery store. When we ask you how old you are you say good. You have so much love to give. When I am holding you, you will squeeze my head so hard that it hurts. You are fierce, rough and tough. You climb into your crib and flip upside down and around on purpose. If everyone is jumping off the couch onto pillows, you just go ahead and land on the floor. You have good rhythm and you like to shake shake shake your body.  You do not like having a clip in your hair but you do love shoes! You are already having strong opinions on your outfits. You love Dora and Diego. You also really love the tablet. You want to do everything by yourself and you get very mad if we say No . You love to go to open gym every week. I have to stay right by you at open gym or the park though because you will hit and push other kids for no reason.You are our best sleeper as long as we read to you and sing you "Tinkle Tinkle Star" many times each night.  Oh Quinnie, you are a challenge but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Everyone loves you because of your fun spirit. You are a non stop ball of energy and we all love you so much!!

Dora the Explorer

We had a birthday party for Quinn at our house with a bounce house and a special guest...Dora the Explorer. It was just our family and a few friends. Mia and Ellie had been planning her party for a while and they got all dressed up and had a treasure hunt for Quinn to find her cupcakes. It was really cute and Quinn loved it. Cannon was also able to come over and show off his new car and take the girls for a ride around the block.

Racing Cats

Patchy completed his first year of soccer. He was pretty new to the sport and the littlest guy on the team so he really enjoyed the practices a lot more than the games. He loved being part of the team! It took a few games for him to follow the ball and put some effort in but he eventually started to "get in there!" One game he stopped to tell his daddy, "I got in there!!"
