Quentin: 40-41 weeks

With the twins here, this house is crazy!

Contemplating life at the park

Likes: Climbing everything! Food, snuggles, toys that make noise, stuffed animals, watching the twins

Hello momma!

Dislikes: Being cold, being hungry, diaper changes

So happy about pushing the stool back and forth

Sleeping: Q is finally napping! Holy cow! I'm so incredibly excited that he often takes an afternoon nap. This started about a month ago and it's added so much productivity to my day if we are home. Of course, we are out and about, naps don't always happen. Just excited about this nap thing!

Loves this random empty bin

Finally figured out this toy

Eating: All the things except ice cream! I think ice cream is too cold for him. Every time we have ice cream, he begs for some, takes a tiny bit and immediately regrets his decision. It's so cute!

So many teeth!

Playing: These past two weeks, Quentin has figured out so many of his toys. He loves anything he can manipulate (change shapes, press buttons, make noises). His favorite is the little animal ferris wheel. 

Saving that bit of banana and cheerio for later apparently...
