Quinn is 10 months old

Happy 10 month birthday to our sweet girl!  Things around here are getting busier and busier everyday with this little tyke.  Here's a little wrap up about what she's doing these days.

Size  She may be tall with a big head, but this girl has one small waist.  She is currently in 12-18 month tops/dresses and a size or 2 smaller in pants.  Size 3 diapers during the day (until my pack is gone) and size 4 diapers at night.  My guess is that her weight is between 18.5-19.5 lbs.

Sleeping Had I written about this about 2-3 weeks ago, it wouldn't have been pretty.  However, Quinn has been doing much better with her naps and throughout the night.  She has started sleeping until 6:30-7:00am which has been amazing.  One day this past week I was even up before she was and enjoyed some Yahoo news and a cup of coffee!  Oh, the small things.  She naps for 60-90 minutes in the morning and around 90+/- minutes in the afternoon.  It's nice to finally be able to count on an hour plus to get some things done around the house!  Quinn doesn't like to be alone before she falls asleep, but has no problem laying in her crib with our hands on her back until she does.  Sometimes it takes a few minutes during the day with her, but luckily we don't have to do it at all right before bed.  She gets up twice (sometimes 3 times) a night, but now that Tony has taken 1 of those times things are much better for mom :)

Eating I can't quite tell if she's a good eater, a picky eater, or just simply a bad one.  She likes what she likes and will throw whatever she doesn't straight to the floor.  Her favorite food by far right now are blueberries. She can't pile them in fast enough.  She also likes sweet peas, toast with butter, whatever mom is eating (she'll try it), bananas, yogurt, and smoothies where I can hide some important ingredients :).  She is still nursing, but we have actually tried straight formula and she took it like a champ.  It's not everyday, but in case I need to be gone or when we go home this summer - depending on the pumping situation....we know that formula can work!  I plan on trying whole milk shortly after 11 months.

Playing  Toys that are not toys still remain our favorites around here.  She loves to empty out a drawer, laundry basket, tries to pull out all the baby wipes, baggies out of the ziplock box, diapers out of the box, shoes out of the bin...you get my point.  She also loves water bottles, chapstick, keys, credit cards, and anything I have at that moment.  She does play with her actual toys, too :)  She's usually crawling around with one of her babies or stuffed animals and gives them great big hugs.  Tony has been bringing out a few tennis balls and rolling them around with her.  Hopefully her excitement doing this is an indicator of the next 18+ years on the tennis court.  Quinn has officially found her feet.  We go in the jogger everyday and often times when I look down at her she's got her feet in her mouth.  Tony initially thought it was pretty gross, but when I told him her feet are probably cleaner than her hands, he quickly agreed.  There hasn't been a whole lot of interest in standing alone or walking yet.  I'm getting a little anxious because so many times she wants out of my hands and on the ground - which I can't always do!  She is constantly moving, loves to hug, loves to bury herself in as many pillows as she can on the couch, and crawls as fast as humanly possible to the door when dad comes home from work.  Gosh, we sure love this girl!
