God welcomes his newest princess...

Quinn was baptized this last Sunday (8/14/11) at Woodlake Lutheran Church. She fell asleep before the actual baptism and then got a nice awakening when Pastor Art poured water over her head. She had no problem letting the congregation know that she was not happy about that! But she calmed down pretty quickly soon after. We did have a nasty little surprise though. We got back home and noticed that she had sprouted hives all over her little body in a matter of two hours! Scary business. But we took her to the doctor (while everyone was at our house, but we are very lucky to have such great friends and family that just took the reins and made sure that things got done so food was ready) and they recommended that we get her some baby claritin and benadryl. All is good now, and she is such a great baby that she remained happy and adorable the whole time.

Thank you so much to all of you who helped us celebrate Quinn and make her day so special. We love you all very much and you guys mean the world to us!!!!!

Surprise Visitors!

Matt and Sara stopped by on Saturday for an impromptu visit with their little man, Daryl. We had fun watching Quinn and Daryl play. That, and it was super cute to listen to Dan and Matt compare diapers and talk about coupons!

"I wanna hold your hand!"

"Come on Daryl! Like this...just hold it!"

"See, not so hard."

Such cute friends!

"More pictures? Really?"

Quinn linked arms with Daryl and it was about the cutest thing in the world. Of course, I couldn't get a good picture of it because they were so squirmy, but this one turned out ok :)

We can't wait to have another play date! It's so much fun seeing these two grow up together (they're only 5 days apart!) and we can only imagine that they will just keep getting cuter and cuter and cuter!

Minnesota meets Missouri!

Earlier this month, we got to visit with our family from Missouri: Auntie Linda, Uncle Mike, Lindsey, Derek and Lexi! We always love visits from them and can't wait to see them again - hopefully sooner rather than later! We miss you guys already and love you tons!

Success!!!!

After a month and a half of struggles and frustration, Quinny finally did it! She rolled from her back to her tummy on Saturday (7/30/11)! She was inspired and was showing off for her future hubby, Jack (she wanted him to know what a catch she is and that she is super awesome) and showed him how it's done. With lots of encouragement from Auntie Tammy, Auntie Rachel, Uncle Nic and momma, she rolled over, twice :)  Daddy missed it because he was sick and didn't want  to contaminate Mr. Jack with any of his cold germs :(  But she did show him her rolling over skillz the next day.

I love my big girl, and am so proud of her!!!! Next step: Crawling!!!!!
