I got to try out all my new toys today! Yup, I got new toys last night! Poor Quinn, all he got were a bunch of clothes, but I am a good brother...I let him play with my toys too. I got a new kind of excersaucer. It is long, not round and I can walk up and down (when I figure out how), and when I take steps it plays the piano (or it will when Daddy puts new batteries in). So today Mommy put me in it and Quinn came over and showed me how all the stuff on it worked. Then he started handing me my other toys so I could play with them. Mommy was really proud of us for playing together so nicely! I also got another toy that I lay under and kick and hit the hanging stuff to make it go. I am a bit too tall for it already, but that is okay...it transforms into a sitting up toy when I learn to sit up.
Mommy thinks I am outgrowing my bouncy seat already! Everytime she puts me in it I try to sit upright!

Grandma Donna came over tonight and we all went on a big adventure! We went to the supermarket and I rode in the cart in my carseat. I really liked it, my eyes were open really wide the whole time and I was just taking everything in. Then we went to Shawna's house and I got kissed by a big dog. I also got to look at some really cool fish. Best of all I got to cuddle with Grandma Donna! It was a really fun night!

Today was pretty fun. Quinn's therapists came over, but he wouldn't cooperate so they payed a bunch of attention to me...yay! Then I decided to give Mommy a break (she looked tired), so I took a nice long nap. When I woke up we went out for a playdate and it was really fun. There was another little baby there who was the same age as me. He was much better behaved than I am though...no screaming and crying at all! He had some really cool toys, much cooler than mine, no wonder he is so happy! We cooed a little bit at each other and Quinn and his brother played a bunch. It was lots of fun, but it will be funner when I am old enough to really play.

I was really drooly today. I wonder if I am getting some teeth! That would be cool cause Mommy's lunch looked really yummy today. Mommy says I have to start with rice cereal first...now doesn't that sound appetizing?
I had a good time watching Quinn play today and also doing some playing of my own. Me and Mommy read a bunch of books, I think books are my new favorite things. Tommorow I switch to 8 oz bottles, I hope I can handle it!

Today was a good day. We went to Grandma Jan's house and it was lots of fun. We played "Footy Cake" (Patty Cake with my feet) and that always makes me smile. I got a new cute outfit from Grandma's friend and a book and a little toy. I liked the toy a lot. We went on a walk and I loved it. I really like being outside, but I really don't like it when the stroller stops!
I had such a fun day that I didn't want to go to sleep! I stayed up until 11 PM and made Mommy hold me for a long time before I finally fell asleep. That is really unusual for me!

Mommy and Quinn are both sick! I feel bad for them, I am glad I haven't gotten sick yet. I decided to give Mommy a break and took two naps today and then went to bed early. I think she really appreciated it! Did I tell you I don't sleep swaddled anymore? Mommy is weaning off the swaddle blanket with a sleep sack. It is like a little sleeping bag with holes for my arms. I really like it! It keeps me wark and cuddly but I can still wake up and suck on my hands or play with my toy. Mommy and me read a book today and I really paid attention, I can't wait until I am old enough to turn the pages myself!

I had a good day today. I played a bunch in my excersaucer and got to watch The Wiggles with Quinn. Mommy showed me this cool toy that you push the top and all these balls spin around inside. I just loved it and I grabbed the sides and smiled at the balls. I am getting better at playing with stuff everyday! Besides that I spent a lot of time cuddling with Mommy today and just generally being a smiley boy.

I went to the doctor today, and it really sucked! They gave me four shots and it hurt!!! I was pretty cranky the rest of the day and then I went to sleep early.
As for my stats... I was 15 pounds 4 ounces! Not as big as Mommy thought I would be, but still big! I was also 25 1/4 inches long! I am such a big boy, that is 65 percentile length and 70 percentile weight! Dr. Crawford was really impressed when Mommy told him how I can stand so well in the excersaucer. He said most 4 months old can't do that and I must have great trunk strength. He said I look really healthy and the only suggestion he had for Mommy was to wash my hair with Head & Shoulders for my cradle cap. He did say that I can try solid food anytime now, but that I am probably not really ready yet since I still stick my tounge out too much. Maybe in a few weeks...

I spent a lot of time with Daddy today, but I was still a pretty good boy. I ate tons of formula, I am still making up for that day Mommy made me use the fast nipples. I had a lot of fun today. I watched football with Daddy. I stood at the leapfrog table (with help from Mommy) with Quinn and we made music together. I also discovered my foot and tried to put it in my mouth!
The most exciting thing that happened today was that I finally got my own room! Daddy moved the office out of my room and now it is all mine! It isn't done yet, but at least now my rocking chair is in there. I love rocking with Mommy before I go to sleep and now I can do it in my very own room!

Well, the whole "fast nipple" thing didn't go so well. I really really really didn't like them! It isn't like I choaked or anything, I just liked the way the old nipples worked. Mommy made me use those new nipples for a whole day and then finally gave up! I am a happy boy again because I have my nice old slow nipples back. Mommy says she is going to try again some other time because she really liked how fast I took my bottles with the new nipples. Note to Mommy: just because I don't have an extra chromosome like my brother don't assume that everything will come easy to me!
We went to Grandma Jan's house tonight. It was really fun! We went to the mall and GASP!, she put me in an umbrella stroller! As if that wasn't bad enough she also put me in a mall highchair! I didn't mind the stroller at all, but I wasn't too thrilled with the highchair...I am just not ready. That's okay, I still love you Grandma Jan...and Mommy isn't really mad she is just messing with you!

I was one fussy baby today! I think it was because I didn't take a very good nap. I also missed Daddy. I was also kinda mad that I had to share Mommy! Thank goodness it is a three day weekend coming up. I'm gonna get all kinds of attention from Daddy, Mommy, and Grandma Jan!!! I did have a good time playing in my excersaucer today. I also did some serious flirting with Quinn's speech teacher. She said that she loved babies and Mommy offered me to her for a few hours...can you believe that! She declined, said she loves looking at babies, not taking care of fussy ones. That's okay, I think Mommy was kidding anyway.
Tommorow I am switching to fast flow nipples...wish me luck!!!

We went to a Halloween party today! I was gonna dress up as a bat, but then Mommy realized that in my bat costume wouldn't work with the baby carrier! We couldn't have that because I absolutely must be attached to Mommy at all times when we are out!!! So just as it was looking like I had to go to a Halloween party with no costume (how embarrassing!), Mommy remembered this cool outfit she had in the back of the closet. Then two miracles occured...1) She actually was able to find it in that mess of a closet. 2) It fit me perfectly even though it was a size 6-9 months. It was a cute little sweatsuit with a hood like a lion and a little tail on the back! Mommy put it on me with a pair of pumpkin socks and viola! I was the cutest baby there!
I had a great time at the party. Me and Mommy chased Quinn around as usual. I really liked seeing all the kids in their costumes and I got lots of attention cause I am just so darn cute! Plus there were lots of really cute baby girls there around my age...they better watch out cause I am gonna be a real heartbreaker!

Mommy and Quinn dragged me all over Catonsville today...what a pain! All I wanted was for Mommy to hold me and feed me, but instead we went to two different playgrounds and watched Quinn play. Both times Mommy tried to leave me in my stroller and I said no way! So she had to strap me on to her with the Baby Bjorn, good thing I like that. I did kind of enjoy watching all the kids playing though. Lindalee said she thinks I am big enough to swing in the baby swing at the park now, but Mommy doesn't think so. She should listen to Lindalee, she is the expert! I want to have some fun too!
Monday, October 09, 2006
I love my excersaucer! I figured out how to turn around in a circle today. Now when I get tired of one toy I can just move on to the next. I even figured out how to turn the little wheel toy that is on there. I enjoyed today. We went out a bunch and I really liked looking all around and riding in the stroller. Can't wait to see what we do tommorow!

Mommy says I must be going through a major growth spurt. That is why I woke up starving at 3 AM and then drank almost twice as much formula today as I usually do! I need to grow another couple of inches because even though I love it, I am still a bit too short for my excersaucer....it sure is fun though!!
Saturday, October 07, 2006
I was a really good boy today! I slept in late and then took a good nap. That means that when we went to Grandma Jan's house I wasn't cranky. I didn't scream and cry the whole time like I usually do. It helped that we went out to the mall. I had a great time looking at everything and watching all the kids play. It was lots of fun, I really can't wait until I can get down and crawl all around the play area too!
I cracked Grandma up today cause when she layed me down on the sofa I would try to sit back up. I just can't see as well when I am not sitting! Grandma got me this really cool o-ball that is shaped like a football. I loved it!! Mommy says if I have future quarterback written all over me...but I thought my shirt said OshKosh B'Gosh on it, oh well!

Not much happened today. I slept late cause it was dark and rainy, Mommy seemed to appreciate that. I wasn't too interested in sitting up today and kept doing "the Quinn" and throwing myself backwards. I did do a really good job at tummy time though! I am starting to even like it a little. I love my new mini boppy. Grandma Donna stopped by after work and cuddled me a little...that was nice. Tommorow we go to Grandma Jan's house, I haven't decided if I am going to be good or not yet!

Today was exciting! We went on a trip to a farm with Grandma Donna and it was pretty cool. When we got there Mommy put me facing out in the Baby Bjorn so I could see everything. I thought the chickens were really exciting and I started talking to them. By the time we went to get on the hayride I was really hungry so I got fussy. It was perfect timing cause Mommy fed me while we took a ride around the farm. It was a really bumpy ride and it not only helped me burp but it also put me to sleep! I slept for most of the rest of the trip.
When we got home Mommy decided to just try and see what would happen if she sat me on the floor. Well, I stayed sitting! Mostly. I am not a great sitter yet cause I usually either fold forward or fall to the side. But I am pretty good for a 15 week old! I love sitting, it is by far my favorite position to be in!

We had a fun day. I got to cuddle again with Autumn and Leslie before they left this morning. Leslie told Mommy that she needs to hang some prisms in the dining room for me to look at. Sounds neat, I think I would like rainbows! We went to playgroup and then to the mall. All that driving made me poop and by the time we got to the mall I was screaming to have my diaper changed! Thank goodness for Nordstrom, they have a really nice mother's lounge with a nice padded changing table for me. After Mommy took care of that little problem we went to the play area. We had to stay with Quinn so Mommy put me in the Baby Bjorn. She put me facing out for the first time ever (yes, my head control is that good now!). It was awesome! I really like looking at Mommy and all, but watching all those kids play was really fun.
Tonight I came dangerously close to sitting on my own for a few seconds. Can you believe it? Mommy had me on her lap and the boppy was behind me and she let go for a minute and I balanced really well. I loved it! I love to sit and stand and I can't wait until I can do both of those things whenever I want!

I slept in really late today! It made Mommy pretty happy. We had a fun day and we even got to take a nice walk down to the playground. Quinn did PT with Lindalee and I just hung out in the shade and looked around. It looked like a really fun place, I can't wait until I am big enough to play there!
Then Grandma Donna and Grandpop Bill came over. Grandpop was being really goofy and might have even made me laugh! Mommy wasn't sure it was a real laugh, but that Grandpop is a funny guy! I also got to meet Cousin Autumn, Aunt Leslie, and Uncle Jeff for the first time. I got to cuddle with Autumn and Leslie and it was great. Mommy will post some pictures of us tommorow.

I love love love my new crib! I slept all night last night and didn't even get up until 9AM! And even then I didn't really cry, I was so happy to be in my cool crib with it's awesome mobile! I had so much fun in there last night. Mommy knows I had fun cause when she put me down I was parallel to the long side of the crib (like in the picture), but when she saw me in the morning I was perpendicular! I was still completely swaddled though, so she is kinda confused how that happened. Cause I am already moving around so much Mommy had to take out the bumper pads. Just wait until I get my arm stuck a few times...she'll put them back!
I had a fun day today. Me and Daddy watched the football game and the Ravens won at the last minute, it was so exciting! Then we all went out to dinner and to the mall. I was a really good boy the whole time!!!

I had a much better day today. I got to hang out with both Mommy and Daddy! Mommy got this new mini-boppy for me that is supposed to help with my tummy time. It is okay, it definately works better than the big boppy! She also got me these gummy fish teether things. I like them but I am still not good at getting them in my mouth. When Mommy puts one in my mouth I smile at her though.
Tonight I am sleeping for the first time in my big crib. Right now it is in Mommy and Daddy's office, but soon Mommy is going to turn it into my room. So far I like it a lot. It had a cool mobile and the mattress is nice and comfy!

I'm really mad cause I didn't get to spend any time with Mommy at all today! I love my daddy and Grandma Jan, but I really missed my mommy! She was gone with Quinn all day and then they left me at Grandma Jan's tonight. Poor Grandma Jan, I screamed and cried the whole time! Except for when they put me in the Johnny Jump Up, but Mommy says she doesn't think I am old enough for that yet. I liked it though!

We went to Quinn's physical therapy appointment downtown today. I was a really good boy this time! Mommy wore me in the Baby Bjorn and we walked up and down hallways and steps. When Mommy and Pat started cheering Quinn on I decided to join in and I yelled really loud. It was a good yell though, I wanted Quinn to know I was there for him. I can't wait until he starts walking so Mommy can pay even more attention to me!
When we got home Quinn took a nap, but I didn't want to. I was really fussy cause I had to poop, but couldn't. So me and Mommy didn't get naps today. I finally went tonight but I was still a little fussy and had a hard time falling asleep. Mommy tried to put me to sleep without swaddling me! Is she crazy??? She said I getting too big for my swaddle blanket, but she is just going to have to make me a bigger one cause I want to be swaddled until I am sixteen!!

Today was really fun! I played with my Skwish a bunch more. I keep trying to get it in my mouth, but it is hard to do and when I miss I yell really loud. It is really frustrating because I think I am teething so I want to chew on everything...but it is so hard to get stuff in my mouth! Then today I was playing with my Skwish on the floor and Quinn kept grabbing it from me. He thought it was really funny, but Mommy kept taking it back and saying no. I don't mind sharing my toys!
My new favorite thing to do is to pull up to standing on Mommy's lap while holding her hands. I stand there and try to move her hands toward my mouth so I can chew on them. I just love standing and I smile the whole time! Sometimes I get what I want and her hand goes in my mouth! She said she can't feel any teeth yet, but they might be on their way. I am drooling an awful lot lately.

I was a really good boy today! I slept through the night until almost 8 AM and I barely fussed at all today. I am finally starting to figure out toys and I really like grabbing my Skwish and looking at it and putting it in my mouth. I also grabbed my ducky's hat today and wouldn't let go. Mommy finally figured out that I prefer to do tummy time on a soft surface so she put a bunch of blankets on the floor for me today. It was definately better and I really liked how Quinn got down on the floor with me to keep me company.
Grandma Donna came over today for a little while and we cuddled. I showed her how I can yell really loud and she was really impressed!

Mommy is so smart! She found these cool new pacifiers on the internet and they work so much better than my other ones. They are nice and soft and fit my face perfectly. They are also really lightweight so they don't fall out as often. Mommy says they are called Gumdrop Pacifiers, but they don't really taste like gumdrops (darn).
I didn't sleep well last night. I woke up a bunch of times. Poor Mommy, she seemed really tired too. What happened is I figured out that if I wake up Mommy she will take me into bed with her and cuddle me. I used to really hate that, but I have grown to love it. Mommy's bed is so much more comfortable than mine is, and it sounds like CNN! Pretty soon I am going to be big enough to sleep in my crib and Mommy says that will be more comfortable than my bassinet. I sure hope so!!

I went over to Grandma Jan's house yesterday, and I actually had a pretty good time. Now that I understand what goes on I didn't cry as much and got to enjoy myself. I had a nice long conversation with Grandma, I couldn't understand what she was saying...but she didn't seem to get what I was saying either. We played Patty-Cake and I really like that game, it makes me smile. I even got to take a walk around the block with Grandpa Don! That was really fun!
Today I mostly hung out with Daddy. We watched football and I drove him crazy as usual. I really enjoyed playing with my animal gym thing today. When Daddy layed me under it and it would light up and make sounds I got so excited! I waved my arms and pumped my legs like Mommy has never seen me do before. I made a bunch of new cooing sounds too. Mommy says I am growing up too fast!!! Don't worry Mommy, I still need you!

Today was pretty exciting. I got to go to Quinn's movement class with him! I was a really good boy. I just sat in my carseat and watched all the kids play, then I fell asleep. And when I woke up I just started watching the kids play again, I didn't cry or anything!
This afternoon me and Mommy went to her doctors appointment. I was a good boy there too. There was a TV in the waiting room and I really enjoyed watching this cool court show. Mommy says I am pathetic because I love TV so much I will even watch "Judge Alex". I do love it! I didn't cry at the doctors either. I did yell a little while we were waiting, but I stopped when the doctor came in. She said I was a beautiful baby...she is so right!

I woke up a half hour before Mommy's alarm went off this morning. I yelled for a little while until she finally got up. Then she went to the bathroom and by the time she got back I was sound asleep again. I don't understand why that made her mad, but she says someday when I have kids I will get it.
We went to an orientation meeting at Quinn's speech clinic this morning. I was pretty good, but Mommy had to feed me there cause I wouldn't eat before we left. Quinn was watching The Wiggles and I kept turning my head to watch too! It was fun, everyone said how cute I was, I am pretty cute.
Tonight Mommy gave me my first real bath. Until now she always gave me a sponge bath cause she is wimpy. Well, I really liked being in the water for the first few minutes. Then I changed my mind and started screaming bloody murder! I screamed for a good 10 minutes even after Mommy took me out of the bath. I just wasn't in the mood for a bath tonight. Maybe next time will be better.

I did a lot of yelling today. Not crying or screaming, just yelling. It is what I like to do now instead of coo. Daddy says he thinks that is a developmental milestone, Mommy says if it is, it's a really crappy one! I think she is getting tired of listening to me yell.
We had a good time playing peek-a-boo today. Mommy would put one of those see through scarfs over my face and I would smile really big. Then she would pull it off and say "peek-a-boo" and I would smile again! Then Quinn came over and started doing it too, he wasn't as gentle as Mommy though. I liked the way the scarf felt on my face and how the room changed colors.
I slept through the night again last night! Now that is a milestone Mommy seems really happy about!

I didn't sleep through the whole night last night, but I came close. I fell asleep early (7 PM) then woke up at midnight, but went back to sleep until 5:30 and then again until 8:30 so that was pretty good. I was pretty fussy today. I threw a fit while Quinn's PT was here and when Quinn fell and started crying Mommy just handed me to her!! Mommy says most babies just cry harder when they are given to a stranger, but not me. I am always really good when someone new holds me...I worry Mommy won't take me back if I am not. I liked Lindalee, she hummed the "Jaws" song to me. It wasn't scary, but Mommy says that is only cause I haven't seen the movie yet.
Mommy let me do tummy time propped on my boppy today, I liked that a lot better!

I have slept through the night for the last three nights, is it because I have "turned a corner" or is it just because this weekend was exhausting? We will see what happens tonight! Mommy was pretty happy to get those three night though, especially because she has a cold. I have also been eating more, that might have something to do with it too. I was a little fussy today, but Mommy finally figured out how to hold me in the "colic hold". I really like it when she holds me on my belly like that. I got pretty upset today because Quinn screamed right in my face. Mommy said he just did it cause he was excited, but it scared me.
I had an okay weekend, but I am so glad to be home. I think I am too little to travel, it was pretty stressful on both me and Mommy. I did like hanging with my Cousin Zoe though, she is pretty cool.

I was not in a good mood today! I woke up a bunch last night. I didn't need my diaper changed and I didn't want to eat. All I wanted was for Mommy to hold me! Every hour or two I would wake up and realize she wasn't holding me and scream. I was like that all day today too. Poor Mommy, I didn't take a real nap until after Quinn got up from his! Hmmm, maybe it was because I was growing, or maybe it was just gas again :(

I was a really good boy this morning! We went to a meeting and Mommy was sure I was going to start screaming and crying, but I didn't. I went to sleep and was really good, well right up untill the end, but it was time to go anyway. It was a neat meeting. There were lots of mommies there that had babies the same age as me. I hope when I get older I get to play with them!!! When we got home I took a nice long nap so Mommy could get some stuff done. I am such a good baby!
I wore my new sneakers today. They are size 1 and they fit perfectly (my old ones were size 0). They are cute little Sketchers, I like them!

Well, sleeping through the night was a total fluke! Last night I woke up at my regular time, 3 AM. Sorry Mom!
Mommy is so smart. She finally figured out how to make sure Quinn doesn't smash my head in when he throws his cup on the floor. She moved my bouncy seat onto the dining room table! I have to say I am really relieved, it was making me really nervous cause he can really throw that thing and we had a few close calls. Mommy says Portia is still on her own though, I feel bad for her, she already got hit twice. I like it up on the table, I have a much better view of Mommy and Quinn from there!

When we were at Grandma Jan's last night she told Mommy that she thought I was getting a flat spot on my head. Mommy always worries about that stuff, so when she put me to sleep for the night she put me on my side in this cool sleep positioner thing. Where has that thing been all my life??!!! It was so comfortable that I fell asleep at 9 PM and didn't wake up until 5:30 AM! That is 8 1/2 hours, a real record for me!!! We will have to see if I can repeat it tonight, it may have been a fluke.

It's true, I am a total mama's boy! Mommy didn't realize it until this weekend, but I am only really happy when I am with her. Daddy watched me both Saturday and Sunday mornings and I fussed the entire time! But once Mommy got up I was much happier. Then today I went to Grandma Jan's house and as soon as Mommy left I fussed and cried, but when she got back I calmed down and was a lot happier. It isn't that I don't love Grandma and Daddy...it is just that I am really little and I still need my mommy!!
I may also have been fussy because I am going through a growth spurt. My little sneakers don't even fit me anymore!!! I am just growing like crazy!

Daddy took care of me this morning and I gave him a really hard time. I feel kinda bad about it, but the fact is I wanted Mommy! Usually with Mommy I take a lot of little naps, but since I was too busy driving Daddy crazy I forgot to take any. So as soon as Mommy came and cuddled me I fell fast asleep and took a really long nap. When I woke up Grandma Donna and Grandpop Bill were here! I played with Grandpop and cuddled with Grandma. Then while everyone was eating dinner I sat in my bouncy seat and cooed a whole bunch. No one even payed attention cause they were too busy eating.....but it was very cute!!!

I really enjoyed sucking on my hands today! Mommy keeps trying to show me how to suck on just my thumb, but I can never figure out how to get it untucked....so I just put my whole fist in my mouth. Not too much happened today, it was pretty boring compared to the rest of our week. Next week is gonna be really busy!! I am going to be leaving the state of Maryland for the first time next weekend!!! Too bad my first out of state visit has to be to New Jersey :(

I love my Bumbo seat! Today Mommy sat me in it on the floor and I got to watch Quinn play in the mirror. I don't really like looking at myself in the mirror (I really do take after Mommy), but I love to watch Quinn look at himself! He did smack me in the face twice and tried to take my socks off, but I didn't mind at all. When he went down for a nap I sat on the coffee table in my Bumbo and watched Mommy clean up all his toys....there are so many!!! Quinn's speech teacher came over today, I love to listen to her sing!

I went to my first playgroup today! Well, it was actually Quinn's playgroup but I had fun too! There were two other babies there that were about my size, but I really liked watching the older kids. I especially liked watching Tatum, she is so pretty!!! Only 11 weeks old and I already like girls, I must take after Grandpop Bill....uh oh! Mommy put me in one of my new "Baby Gap" outfits from Uncle Scott and Aunt Stacey. It was cute and all, but I think I am actually more of a "Hot Topic" guy.
I can't wait to go to Quinn's next playgroup!!!

I got to go over to Grandma Jan's house again today! I like going over there a lot, but sometimes I miss Mommy. I feel kinda bad cause I gave Grandma Jan a hard time today. I was really fussy, but that isn't so unusual for me. I liked it when she wrapped me in a blanket and layed me on the sofa next to her to sleep. It was comfy. Tommorow I get to spend all day with Mommy, I am really looking forward to that!

I didn't get to go to the fair! I am apparently still too little, so Mommy left me with Grandma Jan. That is okay, I had a great time at Grandma Jan's house! She let me watch T.V. and cuddled me lots. And whenever I cried she gave me to Grandpa Don and he would walk me around the block. Now I understand why Quinn likes doing that so much, it was great!! From now on I am going to have to insist that I get my turn taking a walk with Grandpa Don. Sorry Quinn, you had him all to yourself for two years...now you have to share!!

We went over to Grandma Donna's house today! It was pretty fun even though I was cranky. I liked watching all those people, especially the big kids. I really liked cuddling with Aunt Becky, she is the best cuddler! The best part of the whole day was I barely got put down at all! Plus, I got to bond with Grandpop Bill, which I hardly ever get to do!

I spit up like crazy today! I went through three different outfits, thank goodness I have more clothes than any two month old could ever want or need. Besides that I had a pretty nice day. Grandma Donna came over for a little while so I got to see her. She tried to teach me how to roll, but I am just not ready. I also got to hang out with Daddy a lot today cause Mommy slept in. And I got all the attention tonight cause Quinn was gone! Not that I don't usually get most of the attention anyway. Mommy says I am a lot more demanding than Quinn is, maybe as I get older I will learn to chill out some more too.
