Good grief, where does the time go? I can't believe that my little nugget is going to be 16 months in just 5 days! I have been terrible at keeping up with the posts, but as Quinny gets bigger, there is less and less time for computer things. But to catch everyone up, I'll start from her birthday and go forward:
I took the whole week of her birthday off so we could spend lots of time together (yes, I did get laughed at when I told people that is why I took vacation this week...but I don't care...my baby only turns 1 once!) We celebrated Miss Quinn's birthday with a breakfast at Cracker Barrel a trip to the Minnesota Zoo! There was the sweetest old man at breakfast. He asked if he could contribute to her savings account and gave her a 50 cent piece. It was so cute! She gave him a big ol' smile...I think they made each others day. She had a great time looking at the monkeys and the fish - definitely a daddy's girl when it comes to that!

She had a great big birthday party on 4/21. Man, she did great seeing as she didn't have any nap that day at all because she was so excited! I was surprised that there wasn't any type of melt down, but she was a trooper and visited with all of her friends and family.

We had her 1 year check up, the day after her actual birthday (for some reason, I just couldn't bring myself to make Quinn get shots on her actual birthday). She weighted in at a whopping 16 lbs. 8 oz and 28.3 inches long. She is a pretty little tyke. We are working on getting her to increase her calories. Hard part is that she can be a picky eater at times, so we just have to make sure that she is eating good food, rather than just fillers. She's getting a lot better now, but we still keep an eye on it. The pedi isn't too concerned just yet, as she is gaining weight and growing taller. Just have to watch it.
Our friends, Matt and Sara, have a little boy, Daryl who is just 5 days older, and they also stopped by for a visit on her birthday week. These two were so cute together!
In May, Quinn had her first swimming experience...and she LOVES the water! Plus, some other pictures from this summer...

Since the last post, we did also have her 15 month check up. Stats: Weight: 17 lbs. 4 oz. Height: 29.8 inches. Slowly but surely, she is getting bigger!!!!!
There is more that I want to add but it's late now...so another post will be coming soon :)
