Growth Spurt

It has been a little while since I've posted, but life just seems to be extremely busy these day.  Quinn is hitting a really fun age where it seems he is doing something new everyday.  A few weeks ago, his two front bottom teeth came in.  He really wasn't fussy, so it was a bit of a surprise to feel them in there one day.  This past week, Quinn and Martha came to visit me a couple of times for lunch at work.  Quinn must have felt the need to impress some people because he began waving to everyone he met and also showed off his clapping.  He had never really done either of those activities before, so it was really funny to see him all of a sudden be able to do everything in front of an audience.  I have no idea how he learned to wave, because we never do that with him.  He is also trying to interact more through his speech.  At times, he will try to repeat words that we say, like dog or star. 

Everyone asks if he has started crawling yet, but I don't think he feels the need to crawl.  He is an expert at turning 360 degrees on his stomach and rolling to wherever he wants to go.  He loves to walk when you hold his hands, so he may be one that walks before he crawls.  He loves Malcolm and we have to watch him because he grabs the dog whenever he can.  Malcolm does not appreciate that, but has been good about not trying to bite Quinn.  Still, Malcolm stays very close to Quinn quite often, so he must not mind getting grabbed and pinched too much.  We feel very blessed to have our son and are having a blast watching him change and grow into a little man.
