Happy Birthday Quentin!!!

A year has gone by (more like flown). We can't believe how Quentin's grown. We are so very proud of our little man and can't wait to see what's in store for him this next year.

Quentin's top 10 at 12 - in no particular order.
10. Loves blowing kisses
9. Does the bear walk/crawl really well. He will stand for a couple seconds and then go boom.
8. Is left handed dominate when eating and mostly right handed for everything else.
7. Pays very close attention to our mouths when we talk. He has said duck a couple times. And dog several times. Of course Mamma, Dada and uh oh are his favorite words.
6. Is responding to simple requests like "where's the duck" And will bring it to me, but usually takes it to Frodo.
5. Has a very light birthmark on his right leg, which happens to be the exact same spot mine is at.
4. Continues to love teasing Frodo with his toys.
3. Has 4 teeth that have poked through on top and more starting to come.
2. Is not a fan of milk. (definitely my child)
1. Continues to be such a happy boy, and as we were told yesterday, he's abnormally cute.

We have his 12 month check up on Tuesday and I'm excited to see how much he weighs and how tall he is.  According our scale (which he likes playing on) he's about 20 pounds. Not so excited for the shots.

Q has been sleeping very well, going to bed around 7 and sleeping until 5:30-6. Of course there are rare occasions he gets up at 2a.m. but I don't foresee those coming to an end until he stops getting teeth. And now that he's getting good sleep, I asked my friend Bobbie, when will I start to get good sleep again, and she assures me it will happen soon. My co-workers who are my mother's age, on the other hand, say I won't get good sleep until Q is off to college.

We started off his birthday with both of us getting haircuts. I had an appointment to get mine cut, and my hair lady was nice enough to cut Q's too. He sat in my lap and it took both Jeremy and I to hold him down. So no pictures of the during. But, finally the mullet is gone.

He wasn't sure what to think of the cupcake at first. 

It didn't take him long though.

Lena is even cute when she's crying

Q loves doing puzzles, although the pieces never get to
the right spot. 

KaVono is such a good cousin. He loves reading to Q. Of
course Q loves it too. 

While we ate pizza for dinner, Q scarfed down pasta. 

Q received some awesome toys, books and clothes. Thank you so much to everyone! Saturday night Jeremy put together all of the new toys after Q went to bed. He was so excited Sunday morning to see all of them. He wasn't sure what to play with first and just kind of sat there looking around until finally digging in and playing with all of them at once.
