9 months!

Our beautiful Quinny, you are NINE months old now and are the sweetest little girl! This month:

You are wearing size 3 diaper still and mostly size 9 month clothes. You can fit into a few 12 month things.

You will wear a bow for about 3 minutes before it comes off and goes in your mouth...if we're lucky. One day you'll love bows! :)

We'll find out how much you weigh Tuesday at your appointment! I know you have gained so much weight lately!

You still have two teeth. I don't think more will be coming any time soon. The drool has all but stopped.

You are sleeping a teeny tiny bit better now. :) You go to sleep between 6:30-7 every night (thank you daylight savings....) and usually get up twice if not three times. You take a morning nap and a really good afternoon nap thankfully!

You are nursing still, but usually only once a day. Mommy couldn't keep up with how much you wanted to eat anymore! :(

You officially started formula to help get you more of what you needed in terms of ounces. You take at least 5 bottles a day usually at 6 ounces each.

You eat a fruit mixed with oatmeal for breakfast, a fruit and veggie for lunch, a veggie for afternoon snack, and a fruit and veggie for dinner. This is all on top of the milk! Your appetite has increased by about 1000% this month. :)

You are doing much better in terms of what you will eat. You'll actually eat most veggies now if they're mixed. You still won't do anything green unless it has something extra added to it.

You get really vocal if we're not feeding you fast enough. :)

You will eat some of the puff snacks and love mum mums. You've only had the banana flavor of those. We're going to try cheerios soon.

You beg like a dog if Mommy gets biscuits and gravy for breakfast on the weekends. We swear you can smell it as soon as we walk in with it and BAM! You're at Mommy's side looking up with your mouth open!

Sippy cups are just toys in your mind and usually end up chunked across the room! It's a favorite game of yours.

You army crawl everywhere!!!

You like to scoot over the dog food and water bowls. Basically, anything we don't want you to have you want. :)

The jenny jump-up and pack and play have become Mommy and Daddy's favorite baby "toys" while we get ready for the day.

You have quit reaching for people when they try to get you to come to them unless it's Mommy, Daddy, or Nanny.

You wake up in the BEST moods with the BIGGEST smiles. It melts our hearts!

You have severe separation anxiety when it comes to Mommy. If I'm not near you there are loud screams and big tears!

If someone tries to hold you it usually ends up with lots of tears.

You love to scream when you are playing with your toys. It's adorable!!

You still only say "papa"

Your Dad will try to get you to say Dada and it usually ends with you whispering Papa instead.

You will wave, but instead of waving to others you always turn your hand to wave at yourself.

You will clap when you get really excited.

You love to drum on things!

You are so ticklish and will laugh SO hard!!

You LOVE bath time and have so much fun playing with your toys and splashing water everywhere.

You love watching the dogs and will laugh so hard if they acknowledge you.

You would much rather play with boxes than your baby toys.

You would also rather be playing outside than inside even if it's cold.

Sweet Quinn, you melt our hearts on a daily basis. We love your sweet, innocent little laugh and big beautiful smile. Every day keeps getting better. We can't wait to experience the next month with you and celebrate the Holidays. You are bringing the joy back into the season, and we know it will be priceless! We love to the moon and back precious girl!

Thankful

I have SO much to be thankful for this year! I have a house for my family, a job to provide for my family, a car to get us anywhere we need and want to go, a family that supports any decision we want to make for our family, meals on our table every day, friends that go above and beyond to make me feel loved, and so much more. 

But I am most thankful for CJ and our sweet Quinn. CJ loves me no matter the minute, hour, or day. He provides more than I could ever imagine, and he is the best Daddy I've ever seen. His love for our sweet Quinn and family shows at all times. He lights up when she's around, and I wouldn't trade a single minute of seeing them bond and play together.  

Quinn is the biggest blessing I've ever been given in my life. I can't even begin to explain the amount of love I have for my precious girl. There's not a single day where I want to be anywhere but with her. I love every tear and every smile. I never ever want to take her for granted. I love you so much baby girl! You've had my heart from the moment I found out I was pregnant with you, and you will have it the rest of your life! 

Happy Thanksgiving from our sweet girl! 

EIGHT MONTHS!

I CANNOT believe we are under 4 months until sweet Quinny turns ONE! These past 8 months have flown by and I wouldn't change a single thing (well, maybe except the never sleeping part) :) Sweet Quinny, this month:

• Your bottom two teeth have come in at practically the same time - the left one came in about 1-2 days before the right one.
• You were NOT a happy teether. In fact, you were pretty much miserable the entire time. Poor girl!!
• You love to sit up and play with your toys - you are a lot better about independent play time!

• You love to stand if we're holding you. Sweet girl, you have strong legs!!
• You will still only say Papa....little girl, you need to learn Mama! :)
• You like to use those sweet little teeth sometimes when you're nursing...not very fun! ;)

• You will laugh and laugh if we tickle your ribs. It melts this Momma's heart!
• You will pretty much only eat sweet potatoes, corn, pears, pineapple, and bananas. If it's anything else you like to spit it back in Mommy's face and give me a bad look.
• You will only take one bite if you don't like something. If it's not something new, you will clamp your little mouth closed - so opinionated!
• You may be a picky eater, but you are a Weatherford and I know you get plenty of food! :)
• You still love bath time and will play in there until you're all wrinkled up.

• You still don't sleep well. I'll just leave it at that.
• You wear a size 3 diaper.
• You wear mostly 9 month clothes...we pretty much skipped completely over size 6 month. Thank goodness we didn't buy a lot of that!
• You do NOT like jeans. You will pull at them and whine until they're off. Thank goodness Mommy has you a million dresses for next summer rather than shorts! 
• You still do really well at daycare and seem to love your teachers. 
• You're sometimes a bully at school still and like to steal other baby's pacis. We'll work on that one day! :) 
• You may sleep really bad at night, but at least you nap well!
• You started yogurt and you seem to like it a lot!
• You had tubes put in after more than 10 ear infections, 10 days of antibiotics, 4 days of 2 shots per day, and 10 more days of antibiotics with the infection not going away.

• You officially started the separation anxiety stage the day of surgery. You clinged to Mommy, and it melted my heart instantly and did not make it easy to hand you over to the scrub nurse.
• You were a monkey for Halloween and got to go trick or treating around Mommy & Daddy's office. Everyone loved your little costume that Daddy picked out! :) 

My sweet Quinn, you are SUCH A JOY! I never knew how much I could love someone until I had you. We love every second we get to spend with you. Your smile lights up a room and instantly makes people love you and want to talk to you. You are a crowd pleaser and love to make people laugh. I say it every month, but I cannot wait to see what's in store for your future. Every stage gets better and I love you more every day! Mommy and Daddy love you to the moon and back!!!!!!!

SEVEN Months!!!

This is WAY late....I'll be doing an 8 month post VERY soon! :) I still wanted to get this up before I forget pretty much everything! 

My beautiful, sweet Quinny - at SEVEN months: 

 

                  

• You are wearing size 6 month clothing, size newborn shoe, and size 2 diaper
• You have the tiniest feet I've ever seen on a baby and it's adorable!
• You weigh right around 16 pounds
• You are pretty awful at sleeping at night :) It has A LOT to do with the fact that you pretty much have an ear infection at all times
• Even though you don't sleep through the night you go to bed very easily
• You have  great evening routine - solids at 5:30, nurse at 6:30, bath, and bed no later than 7:15
• You do pretty well with napping usually taking 2 a day usually between 1-3 hours each
• Your bald spot on the back is finally filling in a little bit from when it all fell out after birth
• You now have two teeth - that was an awful few days, but we got through it and you're back to being extra happy again
• You're still sitting just fine and can do it for as long as you want
• You're not crawling just yet - there are days when we think you're going to take off and others where you don't seem interested at all
• You LOVE sweet potatoes, pears, bananas with orange juice mixed in, and pretty much anything that isn't green :)
• You will say Pa-Pa - are get SO proud of yourself - if we try to get you to say Mama or DaDa you just repeat PaPa back to us :)
• You are a mama's girl BIG TIME. You reach for me and hold on to me...it melts my heart! 

We love you SO much Quinn. Each month is turning into our favorite and we cannot wait for the months and years to come. It's going to be so fun!! The holidays coming up soon will be putting a spark back into the entire family. We love you to the moon and back, baby girl! 

SIX MONTHS!!

Sweet Quinny, you are six months old (as of September 1st) and are just SO fun!! This month:

• You are wearing 6-9 month clothes and size 2 diapers.
• You weigh 15lbs 14oz (50th percentile) and you are over 26 inches long (50th percentile). You're long and skinny just like Mommy and Daddy were as babies!
• You are finally starting to get in a decent sleep routine - it only took half a year! :)
• You still usually nap twice a day - one short nap in the morning and another longer nap in the afternoon.
• You still do well with both bottles and nursing and will eat a few solids (mostly sweet potatoes and pears).
• You gag until you throw up if you don't like what we're feeding you - quite dramatic!
• You had a couple weeks where you refused all food except breast milk. We think you just wanted to prove that you're in control. :)
• You try to sit-up, but usually fall over because you get so excited about sitting up. 
• You can roll all the way across the room, and will not stay on a blanket. You like to go for leaves and grass at school when you have outside time on your blanket. 
• You sing and babble ALL.THE.TIME. 
• You are seriously the happiest baby 99% of the time. There is usually a big smile on your face most of the day! 
• You have the most beautiful gummy grin.
• You put EVERYTHING in your mouth! Anything you get your hands on goes straight in your mouth.
• You will play in your jumper for a little bit, but usually prefer to be on the floor. You love the exersaucer at Nanny's house though - you keep yourself entertained forever.
• Much to Mommy's dismay, you pull almost every bow off about .000001 seconds after it's on. You like to smile really big after you do that. 
• You like to people watch and will smile really big at just about anyone that will give you attention. 
• You and Emma have become extra interested in each other. You'll be the best of friends when you can actually play with her. 
• Your hair is SO long on top and is finally getting a little longer on the sides. 
• You still laugh SO hard every time you see Papa. He can always get you to babble and scream so loud! 

We love you SO much baby girl. These first six months have gone by incredibly fast with each month getting better and better. We don't want you to grow so fast, but each stage has been SO fun!!!!!! We're getting into the fall season and know it's going to be the best fall we've ever had as a family. Love you to the moon and back sweet girl! 

Nana

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NANA!!! We love you SO much!!

Quinny can't wait to help celebrate next year when she can have cake with you. :)

Lucy wanted in on the picture taking, too!

Thank you for everything you do for us. We appreciate everything SO much and hope you felt plenty of love today! We can't wait to see you again! Love you!!!

Quinny, you are FIVE MONTHS!! I cannot believe how quickly everything is going by. At five months....

• You are wearing 3 month and 3-6 month clothing and a few 6 month.
• You are wearing a size 2 diaper.
• You are definitely bigger than month 4, but we don't have your exact measurements.
• You are NOT sleeping through the night. :) You sleep a max of 4 hours...it's actually gotten worse this month and we think it's because of teething. That means you're still in our room.
• You will nap in your crib and we put up black out curtains to help with that.
• You will not sleep without a noise machine on. You can sleep through the loudest noises
• You are still getting breast milk and usually drink 5 oz at a time! You get very distracted and usually end up trying to roll out of the arms of whoever is feeding you.
• You have started oatmeal and absolutely love it! 
• We've also tried sweet potatoes, peas, squash, avocado, peaches, pears, and apple sauce.
• You HATED squash and you clearly did not get that from your Momma since that's my favorite veggie.
• You had a bad reaction to apple sauce and your Dr. said to not give you anymore until you're over a year. It was NO FUN! 
• You love love love the jumperoo - especially the one at daycare since it's lower to the ground.
• You keep your legs kicking almost 24/7.
• You are still rolling all over the place. You usually end up rolling right off the blanket you're laid on and end up chewing on it.
• You are drooling like CRAZY and chew on EVERYTHING. 
• You still try to sit up when we lay you down and have been able to gorilla sit for a few seconds at a time.
• Your feet go in your mouth if you're contently laying on your back.
• You love your feet! If we cover them up with a onesie you will just sit and stare. It's like you're wondering where your skin went. :)
• You laugh if Momma starts tickling you. It melts our hearts! 
• You love Papa! He can get you to smile and talk no matter the mood you were in .00002 seconds earlier. You scream with excitement when you see him walk into a room. It's so adorable! 
• You will put one hand on each of my cheeks and pull Momma to you. LOVE it! Sometimes you will try to latch on my cheek or chin. :)
• You reached for your Daddy for the first time.
• You are realllllly good at letting everyone in the room know you are there. You definitely love to be the center of attention. :)
• You have a talent for being dramatic.....very very dramatic. You let us know if you do not like something almost immediately we the loudest/maddest sounding scream.
• You like to spit and blow raspberries. This has lead to a bunch of sheet changes.
• You love to smile more than any baby! Everyone always comments on how happy you always are!
• You are still in daycare and are doing really well. You love Ms. Amy and seem to be on a really good schedule with eating, playing, and sleeping.
• You and Riley still like to make each other cry and pick on each other. It's like you trade off days of who is being the class bully and who is being abused. It's cute....for now. 

Quinny, we love you SO much. You let us know you were on your way one year ago on July 22nd, and it was the best news we could have heard! We miss you anytime you are away and cannot wait to pick you up from "school" every day! Your Daddy and I can not get enough of you! We love you to the moon and back baby girl!

-You talked to us ALL.THE.TIME and will try to mimic our mouth movement

-You love to blow bubbles and laugh so hard if you cover yourself in drool

-Your little nails are growing like weeds and have to be cut at least once a week if not more!

-You got in your first "fight" at school :) Another sweet girl in your class named Riley has really long and curly hair. Apparently you like long, curly hair because you were laid beside her and would not let go.  Miss Riley was not a fan of you grabbing her hair so she kept slapping your nose. You wouldn't let go and she wouldn't quit slapping so you were both a bit inconsolable for a few minutes after you were separated. 

Quinny, your Daddy and I love you SO much! I cannot believe how fast you are still growing and how lovable you are. I wish I could freeze time!! You're becoming even more precious every day and we love watching your little personality come to light! We love you to the moon and back baby girl!

-You started daycare the 14th.
-You are still sleeping in the pack-n-play in our room. We'll move you to your room as soon as you start sleeping through the night! :)

-You get up several times most nights, but you did sleep 10 hours straight the night of the 18th from 8:15-6:15

One, Two, Three

I want to be able to remember all the baby things we used a ton with our sweet Quinny. I'd like to do this post every 3ish months to see how much things change. I'm sure I'll look back on this in a year and try to remember how she ever fit in any of it. Sweet baby girl is growing SO fast!! :)


There are two essentials we use multiple times a day - Pampers Swaddler diapers and Huggies Sensitive Skin wipes. Otherwise, the items we can't seem to live without at the moment are:


Pack-n-Play --- Quinny sleeps in this every night so I don't have to hike it across the house to get to her when she wakes up. We're still working on sleeping through the night. :)

Boppy Lounger --- Quinny is JUST LIKE HER DADDY and snores if she lays flat. So, we lay her on this in the pack-n-play. It's so awesome!!

Boppy Pillow --- this really helps when breast-feeding or when Quinny wants to be propped up to see everything (or just the fan mostly) :)

Fleece blankets --- I'm sure Quinn would do just fine if we laid her directly on the couch or the bed, but we don't really ever do that. She's pretty much always on one of her ridiculously soft blankets. 

Footed PJs --- Quinny is like her Mommy and her feet are always cold. She likes to kick everything off her legs so she sleeps in footed PJs to make sure she stays plenty warm

Chicco Stroller --- her car seat fits right in this and it's SO awesome!! We love to take walks and her Nanny and Papa also love to take her walking

Bath Tub --- this was never used in the beginning. She always just got in the bath with me, but we've now discovered how much she loves bathing in her bath in the sink. It's big, but she loves it!

Hooded towels --- they're awesome. and cute. best of both worlds!

Burts Bees Body Wash & Shampoo --- it smells SO good and is great for sensitive skin. I could just kiss sweet Quinny for hours after bath time because she smells so good!

Gum Drop Paci --- we've left this at home once. NEVER.AGAIN.

Dr. Brown Bottles --- a few parts, but the dishwasher seems to clean it all just fine :)

Bouncer/Vibrating Chair ---- Quinny stays content in this for quite a while!

Activity Mat --- this didn't go over very well at first, but now Quinn will stare and try to grab at the toys hanging down

May 6th, 2012

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT KIM!!!!!!

We hope you had an awesome day!

We love you!!!!!!

TWO Months

Sweet Quinn, during your second month of life:

-You are wearing 0-3 and some 3-6 month clothing. Different stores definitely have completely different sizing.
-You are wearing a size 1 diaper.
-You are up to 11 lbs 9.5 oz - 75 percentile!

-You are 23.5 inches long - also 75 percentile!

-Your head size is also 75 percentile, but I forgot the exact measurement
-You are still taking breast milk exclusively and nurse and take a bottle really well. You eat every 3 hours during the day and will go anywhere between 3-6 hours at night.
-You took your first bottle from your Daddy last month and have been able to take it from just about anyone this month! You drink between 3-4 oz each feeding, but will only drink from your Dr. Brown bottles.
-You're still sleeping in the pack-n-play at night. Our goal is to get you to your crib when you start sleeping through the night. Hopefully that will be soon! :)
-You like to be REALLY warm (almost to full on sweating) at ALL times. You let us know if you get cold! We're very thankful for all the blankets you received as gifts!!
-You have really starting smiling and cooing a lot more this month. You are SO happy when you wake up. You look at me and your Daddy and just talk. It's the sweetest and best start to every morning! You are always really happy before and after feedings as well.
-Your little legs barely ever stop kicking. We've put a full comforter folded into a square over your legs and you kicked it right off. Your Daddy says you're getting ready to be his power lifting buddy. :)

-You can roll yourself right over with those strong legs. We definitely were not expecting that!
-You like to stare at our bedroom curtains, the fan, and any light. You focus so hard!
-Your neck is so strong and you can hold your head up really well now.

-You are not a fan of tummy time for very long anymore. You start crying pretty quickly.
-Your eyes are starting to turn more like Mommy's grey-blue color. They're still pretty bright, but not nearly as much as when you were born.
-You love your bouncy seat and swing. We've tried the bumbo, but you just screamed until we picked you up.
-You are officially in love with the paci. You don' have to have it all times though, because you'll stick your full hand in your mouth. I was afraid you would be a thumb sucker, but you prefer the paci now.
-You do really well riding in the car for the most part. You let us know when you're done tho!
-You LOVE bath time. You get so relaxed and do not want out. Most bath times end in you crying. 

-You love to see Daddy when he comes home from work. This was Mommy's last month home with you:(

-You love to be held. This is mostly Mommy's fault. :)

-You prefer to only be in your diaper with blankets over you, but Mommy still loves to dress you up and put a bow on! 

-You immediately pull any bow down over your eyes.

-You sneeze and have the hiccups ALL.THE.TIME.

-You've had gripe water and gas drops, because your little belly gets really hard and gassy. :(

Your two month appointment went very well until the shots. Nanny went with us for moral support. You were so happy and then the nurse came in with three shots and an oral vaccine. You kept spitting the oral vaccine out. :) The screaming after shots was SO loud. If you were old enough for ice cream Mommy would have treated you to a special snack. It will come soon enough! The DR said everything looked great and you're passing milestones right on track. 

Sweet Quinny, your Mommy and Daddy are so thankful for you. You are the joy in our lives and we love every second we get to spend with you. Our love grows for you every day, and we cannot wait to see what all is in store for you. I have a feeling your sweet little life is going to be filled with plenty of personality and spunk from you!

Spring & Summer wreath

I'm not very good at the stay at home Mom thing...I need to be busy or on the go. I've been trying to fill Quinn's naps with crafty projects so I'm not constantly going somewhere. Thank goodness for Pinterest!! :) I decided I should finally take my winter wreath down, but needed something to fill it's spot. 


I started with a grape vine wreath from hobby lobby, paint, and burlap ribbon left over from one of my baby showers. I found an idea on Pinterest that made the burlap into rosettes and went with that idea 

I didn't want a plain colored wreath so I spray painted it a blue color that would work for both spring and summer!

 I made several different sized rosettes and painted all but one.

 I started with them spaced apart, but decided it needed either no space in between the first four or more rosettes to fill the gaps.

 I went with more rosettes. :)

 Up close

It was a very simple and fun project. It took me a few tries to get going, but was easy once I got the hang of it. YouTube also has a tutorial on how to make the rosettes, but I kinda changed it up along the way.

And because I think she's the sweetest and cutest little baby girl ever....
