Hair!

Quinn's hair has been growing a lot lately. Now she finally has enough hair for us to do the mandatory "crazy hair bath time photos." She doesn't look too thrilled, but trust us, she loved it!

TGIF!

Happy Friday from Quinn!

Climb Every Mountain

I know we've said it many times before, but this little girl is on the go! Keeping up with her is a lot of fun, but it can be a workout too! She's always trying to tackle new things and today it was the stairs. She's climbed up a few stairs before, but today she did the whole darn thing... multiple times!

Picture Day!

Today was Picture Day for Quinn Marie! We went to the Botanical Center to have her NINE MONTH pictures taken! Such a big girl! I think the photo shoot went very well, but we'll get the proof on Saturday. (I can't wait!)

My intention was to take a few shots at the Botanical Center to give everyone a sneak preview, however I was a little too busy making sure she didn't eat the mulch or jump in with the goldfish, so that didn't quite happen. Instead, we took some shots at home. Look at this silly grin!

She likes to move her jaw up and down in really funny manner, and this photo was taken during that. Pretty silly! And here she is just being goofy playing with her favorite dollies from Grandma Nan and Great-Grandma Marcella.

Because of the photo shoot in the middle of the day I didn't work very much today, so I had a lot of fun playing with Miss Quinn Marie. Her personality is back 100% and she is full of new things to make me laugh all the time. I just can't get enough of her! (Can you blame me?)

Video Time!

Hello, hello! No time for new photos yet this week, so here's a little video to share from Saturday. Listen carefully and you'll find out how she got that mark on her face!

Weekend Update with Quinn Marie Syverson

So it's been an eventful few days since Wednesday. We'll start with Thursday. I still wasn't feeling great about this cough of hers, so we booked an appointment with the doc. And good thing we did because it was more than just a cold. I didn't get a proper name for the infection, but it was an ear-nose-and-throat thing that awarded Quinn with her very first antibiotic. (Auntie D confirmed that it was legit. Baby Z-Pac to the layman.)

The double-bummer about her being sick for three weeks straight? She was contagious so we had to cancel our trip up to Minnesota to meet Quinn's cousin Zoe. So sad!

Lucky for us the Baby Z-Pac worked like a charm and Quinn's spirits were back in no time. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

It's so nice to see those big blue eyes bright and happy again!

In with the Cold, Out with the Flu

It's been a few days since there's been a blog post and for that I apologize. But I must say, mama's been swamped. But I don't want Quinn Marie's loyal fan base to go too long without seeing new pictures of her beautiful face, so here's the update!

Sunday we kicked the stomach bug. Hallelujah! But then immediately following that we've had a nasty cold. I was THIS close to calling the doc today, but I think she's doing a little bit better. Her cough isn't quite as frequent, but it still breaks my heart every time I hear it. And basically as long as we're always armed with a Kleenex we're okay. We had to cancel our playdate for tomorrow, but hopefully she'll be in good shape to meet her cousin Zoe this weekend.

The great thing is that her lively personality is coming back. We've heard a lot of squeals tonight and she's been saying "mama" over and over which makes one of her parents especially happy. :)

Here's a video of her the other night on one of her favorite toys. She likes to turn on the lights & music by "kissing" the buttons and it cracks us up. (Please forgive me, I had my finger over the mic for most of it. One of these days I'll get that darn video feature down!)

She also is feeling well enough to cheer on the Jayhawks tonight (except she doesn't cheer for the Morris boys when they throw elbows. The girl might be young, but she has her morals).

And finally, here's Quinn with her new favorite plaything -- our treadmill. At least someone's using it!
