the story of a little towel thief.

Once upon a time...
....my dishtowels ran away.

the little thief tried to hide them.

the little thief tried to use her cuteness to distract from the evidence.

 

and the little thief pretended to know nothing - "hmmm...where did these come from?"

 

the little thief was never caught...

 

until....

an innocent passerby caught the little thief in yet another incident.

hmmm...what is going on in there?



aha, I should have guessed.



I guess this is what you get for some little shenanigans. :)



Joking aside, I really hope my sweet girl always has someone that will tell her that she has toilet paper stuck to her foot. :)



diaper days.

It was a little humid around here yesterday and today.
Trying to stay cool makes these chillin' out in our diaper days.
And it looks like she is learning from Lucy that the floor is nice and cool.

see that dishtowel hiding behind her? more to come on that and our little towel thief later :)

bathtime curls.

love.

Look I can feed my baby at the same time.

Giving her baby "the look" and a little talkin' to.









daddy time.

Quinn loves her daddy.

Most of you know that Todd's schedule is rather busy, especially in the fall and the spring when he is coaching. We savor every minute of time we get as a family during these seasons. In the fall, Todd would go 4-5 days pretty regularly without seeing Quinn. The spring seems to be a little better. She is at an age where if we know daddy will be home close to bedtime, she stays up just a little bit longer to see him. She loves when he comes home. (So does Lucy! - Lucy goes a little crazy when Todd gets home, an extra person means equal attention for her.) Daddy time always consists of animal noises practice, her nightly lesson in sign language, some chasing & screaming, and sometimes there is enough time for Daddy and Quinn to read a few books.

signing with daddy.

Hopefully Quinny and I will be fluent in sign one day too.

Looking forward to summer coming soon and a lot more daddy time!

baby love.

She loves her baby these days.

She takes such good care of her baby. With squeezes, smiles, giggles, and feedings...

...we are working on the occasional tossed to the floor moments as she runs off for something else, yeah, babies don't usually like that. :)


And, I realized today that the living room officially became a little less safe.

I was putting dishes away and turned around to see her up there all by herself.  There is much to be said about the baby stage where you lay them on the ground, turn around, and they stay there.  In fact I'm pretty sure Quinn's baby doll is doing a great job of that in the spot she was last dropped. :)
