Cute and random photos

I have a bunch of videos to post of Quintin eating solids for the first time...they're actually quite fun to watch and to see how babies adjust to real foods, but I can't get them loaded on blogger for some reason. I have given up trying to get them loaded onto this blog and have now turned the challenge over to my husband to figure out. So, until he figures it out, I'll just post these cute, random photos of baby Q.

We bought him this activity/bumbo chair thing before he was born and I have been trying for the past couple of months to get him to like it, finally the other day he realized that it's not so bad and now will sit in it for hours...as long as he has the entire chair and try filled with toys. He seriously loves it and loves having 10 different toys surrounding him. Maybe this is a sign that he is going to be a good multi-tasker!

I have been making all of my own baby food for Q and the other day I got down blending/pureeing sweet potatoes and handed him the spatula to lick...he went crazy and devoured them, but in the process of devouring them his face took a beating. I like to title these pictures Quintin vs the sweet potatoes-who do you think won?

This little monkey usually sits in his crib...notice the tag...the monkey no longer sits in the crib because little Q likes to chew on tags and decided to have a midnight snack and ate half the tag. The kid seriously loves tags. Half of the time he could care less about the actual toy along as it has a tag he's happy.

This is the hands free approach to playing...Quintin finds it easier to hold his toys in his mouth without hands so that his hands can be free to grab other toys if needed.

Q loves this little Noah's Ark set that he has. Notice how he is hoarding the animals..one is in his mouth and he has like 3 tucked under his arms. If I started to play with the animals he would start hoarding them like this. I think we're going to have to work on sharing with others :)

I was trying to take a picture of him and as soon as he saw the camera in my hands he got right in front of it...I love how the picture turned out though.

2 weeks ago he got his first tooth on the bottom and then 4 days later the second tooth popped up. All I can say...is PRAISE THE LORD! Those 2 teeth almost got the best of Quintin and I! He was is in so much pain for a few days. All he wanted to do was chew on my finger, nothing else soothed his pain. I am happy to report though that my fingers survived and now with those teeth I am more hesitant to let him chew on my fingers :)!

The other exciting news is that our little man can sit up (for the most part) on his own now! He can do it for a good 5-10 minutes and then all of sudden will realize that he is tired or that it's too much work and will just fall over..then he laughs or smiles about falling over.

Oh the cuteness!!!! This kid brightens and brings so much happiness into our lives!
