Our own photo shoot

Happy to be holding up her little head

There's the money shot!

Getting sleepy...

Really sleepy...

ahh... asleep

Quinn and I had our own photo shoot today - well we do it a lot, but we had a backdrop today! I know, fancy ;) We're giving Loralei a run for her money. The reason I did this was because Quinn will be 12 weeks old on Friday - we can't really get Loralei back here (which would be ideal), and I can't stand the thought of going to one of those portrait studios after those awesome in home photos. Well, I took some notes... and I did a little experimenting.. and walla! It looks like I might be on to something here. I think all of Quinn's official photos will be done at home, or outside when the weather gets nicer - I don't think we'll have to ever go into one of those portrait studios. Quinn was having an alright time, but then decided she was sleepy and fell asleep right on our "set." She's been taking a long nap now - oh the life of a model!

Growing so fast!

As you can clearly see from these two pictures,

Quinn is quite literally busting out of her clothes!

And she thinks it's funny!

Quinn is quite literally busting out of her clothes! She doesn't fit in her three month clothes anymore, and this is all within a couple of weeks. It makes me a little sad to put all of those tiny clothes away, but happy at the same time, because she is just getting so fat and cute. She is getting more and more fun every day. She is noticing stuff that she didn't before. Like today, she actually looked at Meow Meow Kitty. She's grabbing onto her toys and looking at them in a different way - it's so fun to see what she will do next that's different. When we went to her two month doctor's appointment, she measured in the ninetieth percentile for height and weight and the Dr. said she had a great head shape. Her head measured in the fiftieth percentile. That was all great news, but then came the shots. That was the wost thing that I ever had to do. I have never seen Quinn so upset in my life. I am really dreading the next visit. She was pretty upset, but then she fell asleep on the way home and slept for a long time that afternoon. When she woke up, she was in much better spirits, thankfully. She seemed like she didn't even remember the visit to the doctor's office at all.

That same day, Grandma Susie came for a visit and spent a long weekend in her new condo and visiting with her granddaughter. Grandma Susie was so nice and got a room at the Phoenician for us on Saturday night. She spent the afternoon with Quinn while Tony and I got to hang out by the pool. Then we got ready for dinner and put Quinn to bed, and Grandma babysat in the hotel while we went to a really fancy dinner at the Window's on the Green. It was such a perfect first date as parents! We were so close to Quinn at all times, but it felt as if we were really on a date far away, but I wasn't nervous. Then we even got to spend the night there with Quinn and order room service the next morning for breakfast. And Quinn was such a good baby the whole time!

We're having so much fun with Quinn everyday - she's not a newborn anymore, but she sure is getting to be fun to play with!

Two Months!

Official Two Month Photo 8/1/08


Wow - another month has flown by! I really should have posted this last Friday, that would be the official two month marker, but you know how things are with a brand new baby. It's been hard to keep up, to say the least. I know I keep saying this, but every day Quinn is more alert and aware. It's really crazy how much she grows every day! It's been so much fun, and it's getting even better every day with all of the things she is learning. A little over a week ago she finally noticed her mobile in her swing. Now she just loves looking at it and following it around and around. I wonder if it makes her a little dizzy swinging back and forth and following that thing around? Is that sort of like patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time?

I took the official two month old photo on the same chair as the one month old photo in the same outfit. I wish I would have chosen a different outfit, because it's a little baggy on her, but you can still see how much she has grown by looking at her long legs in this new one.
