My Sweet Girl

It's hard to believe that our sweet little girl is 14 1/2 months old. It's been awhile since I've given an update on all of Quinn's development, so I thought I'd fill you in on the ever-changing world of Quinn Marie.

1. She's getting more verbal with each day. She says over 30 words (we counted the "legit" words other night) and we're pretty sure most people could understand the majority of them. She also uses sign language to tell us more, please, eat and hungry.

2. She has TWELVE teeth! Can you believe it?! All four front teeth, four molars and four eye teeth. We are hoping we're on the downslope of the teething now. It was a tough time there for awhile!

3. She runs. It's adorable to watch, but a little scary when it's on the driveway (and it usually is). If you want proof of her craziness, just check out that shiner picture on Facebook. (And for the record, Jay is not laughing, just trying to get her to look at the camera.)

4. Her comprehension skills are getting really great. She understands soooo much. If we say something about going downstairs she'll go to the stairs or she'll get her shoes if prompted. Our favorite "trick" right now is that if we ask her how old she is she'll put up a finger and say "one!"

5. She is very determined. And sometimes very stubborn, as exhibited by her new-found temper tantrums, but most the time she's just as sweet as you can see here! We love you Quinn Marie!
