It's Happening!!

Quentin is becoming a 2 year old right before our eyes! At daycare, he's been taking his naps on a cot for awhile, and this last week, he has been doing a speed transition into the 2 year old room. Usually they start them out just going to the 2 year old room a couple hours a day. Q has done so well, he's spent all but breakfast in there. Even napping and eating lunch. All the teachers are pretty impressed with how well he's handling the transition. And, that makes it so much easier on Jeremy and me. 


Q is going through another transition at home as well. We spent the weekend getting his big boy bedroom ready. Friday mom and I spent the evening painting. It went fairly quick, and only needed a few touch ups on Saturday. Saturday night - we ended up at Homemakers purchasing bunk beds. Thankfully mom and dad weren't too far away, they were able to pick up and deliver the beds to us. Jeremy wasted no time in getting the bed put together on Sunday morning while Q and I had a play date.

Tonight is night 3 of being in his big boy bed/bedroom. The first 2 nights were a little rough getting him to fall asleep. Tonight went great and no crying was involved. He did however, play in his room for an hour before finally laying down and falling asleep. How our parents survived without video monitors is beyond me. 

Bedroom before - There were panels on the wall
that we had to take down and fill the holes in as well. 

After - we painted a couple walls navy and a couple a very
light tan. 

Q loves his big boy bed.... 

...And his new reading chair. 

Of course we still managed to have some fun this past week/weekend - 


Wednesday night, we took Q to get his 7th haircut. I may have to take up some classes to learn how to cut it myself with as fast as it grows. 

The teachers at daycare had fun with Q's
hair. They put either gel or hairspray in it
and slicked it to the side. It didn't actually look
that bad. 

all done - but I'm not giving up this sucker. 

We headed to Peyton's softball game on Thursday night. Even though they didn't win, she still played great!

2 of Quentin's favorite things- Grandpa
and suckers. 

Saturday morning, Q and I, along with Carrie, Stella and the Hamilton Family, participated in the Autism walk. The race was suppose to be an un-timed 2 mile walk, doing the same lap twice. We cheated and only did 1 lap.

Geffory the giraffe was there. Q and
Stella were more interested in the band

Wyatt and Jackson slept most of the time. 

After the walk, we came home and played in the pool for a little bit, and then it was lunch and nap time. 

Sunday - we had a play date with Nolan in the morning. The kiddos played great together, even taking turns splashing.

Q putting cups on his toes and trying to lift his feet. 

It was hard to get them to look at the camera at the same time. 

Q layed out for 2.2 seconds.

and for some reason, he liked dipping his hair in the pool
and slurping the water as it ran down is face. 

Herky and I are doing great. We made it to 30 weeks and have a doctors appointment on Monday. After this visit, we'll start going every 2 weeks, and thats when the time will really start to go fast.
