Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Poor Quinn has to dress up for holidays even when he doesn't leave the house. I'm pretty sure Layla is glad it's him and not her.

Quinn sported not one but two Irish shirts today. The first one is a little Lucky Charms-ish (but he didn't seem to mind).

And he also showed off his onsie that is actually FROM Ireland, which our friend Melissa brought back for him when she went for the H'Oscars. He clearly loved them both.

Even daddy got in on the Irish shirt action! Aw, aren't the boys cute in their matching t-shirts?

Hope everyone had some green beer! Ahhh...those were the days.

Snow snow snow

Yep, we just lived through the first "blizzard" in three years here in southwest Ohio. Now, for those of you from PA, the amount of snow we got was pretty much your norm. The difference is this...the road crews can't handle the snow here. It amazes me.

Anyhow, if you ignore me in the pic (hey, why look pretty when you're stuck in the house), here's how Quinn measured up to the snow in our front yard.

While we spent most of our time inside this weekend, we converted Quinn's baby gym into a tunnel. He loves it.

And we're pretty close to crawling. Stay tuned for more on that.

Quinn's day out

Quinn, mommy, daddy, Jenn, and Jim all took a field trip to Cincinnati yesterday to eat some burgers and shop at Urban Outfitters.

As you can see, Quinn enjoyed his first trip to Zip's even though it was super crowded. He even got to visit with Dave and Tawnya.

On the way home (and after Quinn slept through most of Urban Outfitters), we stopped for a little ice cream at Graeter's. Don't worry...that cup actually belonged to Jim. And, as you can see, Quinn was very excited when he realized he could swing his feet in their high chairs.

He ended the day with a quick visit to BW3s to watch the Flyers play, but he was a bit too tired at that point for pictures.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Eight months already...

Yesterday was Quinn's official 8-month birthday, but he was so sick he asked to not be photographed. Okay, maybe he didn't SAY that so much, but his mood was pretty much anti-anything, including pictures. He's feeling a little better today (at least we got some smiles), but still not totally himself yet.

Note how serious he his playing and then how his mood magically changes when we take his outfit off.

Enjoy the pics...and a better look at the teeth!

If the snowman was entertaining enough...

Here's what came home from daycare today. Chris and I have been laughing at Quinn as an Eskimo on his daycare door for a few weeks. Glad we could finally share with everyone else.

Happy Valentine's Day

Quinn wanted to say Happy Valentine's Day to all his friends and family!

New pics...finally!

Okay, okay. I've been hearing of some unhappy readers who have been waiting for new pics. What can I say? It's been a slow month.

In honor of Grandpa Tom's birthday (today), the first picture is Quinn in what I like to call his Grandpa Tom flannel. Too bad he's not in PA helping plow the snow. Poor Quinn only gets ice in these parts of Ohio.

Next Quinn and daddy enjoy a little TV time. I can't remember what they were watching...maybe Flyer basketball (I won't even comment about tonight's loss).

Ok, I just thought this one was cute. Quinn took a little nap in his car seat and then seemed a bit confused as to where he was when he woke up.

And finally! What you've all been waiting for...a glimpse of the first two teeth! They pretty much came through on the same day (this past Sunday), but it took a while (and a lot of deleted pictures) to capture them on camera. Quinn wasn't really down with this, so you kind of have to look hard.

Oh, and please note that someone is finally getting some hair too. Maybe mommy will stop making him wear so many hats. Not likely.

Happy birthday to Jim too...the big 30!
