John Mayer

Last night we went out to the John Mayer concert and left Quinn with Aaji and Aaja.
John Mayer put on a great show and we had floor seats which was a first for both of us. We were actually sitting right at centre ice at the ACC. John Mayer did most of his new stuff and some of his popular stuff from previous albums. The only song he didn't do was Daughters. We had a great time but it was a long night for two sleep deprived parents. Brenda took it like a champ and only started really fading on the ride home.
John Mayer did a lot of guitar stuff and his concert was relatively similar to Eric Clapton's concert. This is no surprise because in his latest album he states "Thanks to Eric Clapton. I stole everything from him and he is cool with it." A good time all around.

On our toes

Quinn continues to keep us on our toes as she changes and gets older. We just can't seem to figure her out totally. Mom and Dad spend countless hours philosophizing on what we should do/try. We mix it up, we keep it consistent. Trying to get that formula just right.

It is so hard not to give Quinn everything at a moments notice. We both strongly feel that we would have no problem being rigid with her if she wasn't so DAMN CUTE!!!

We sometimes find ourselves trying to rationalize with Quinn to "Help us Help you". Needless to say that doesn't have a very high success rate.....

Give Quinn some credit

Quinn had a decent night as well are still trying to figure her out. She is just 4 weeks old and we are really lucky at what a good baby she is. We should give her more credit. She eats and sleeps and only cries when something is wrong. She is interactive and funny to watch. Consider this blog as PROPS TO QUINN.....

We continue to experiment with her feedings to see how we can sculpt it into more of a parent friendly schedule...

We are also experimenting with her daily routine, naps and sleeping position to see if we can find the magic combination.

The adventure continues....

Quinn Quinn Quinn

Quinn is starting to get quite the personality on her. We are both sure that there are times Quinn is definitely mad at her mom and dad for the things we put her through like baths and sprays.

She seems to be sleeping a little better as she gets settled into her new life. We are also getting settled in her new life as we start to get something of a schedule. Unfortunately the schedule is Quinn's and not ours.

4 Weeks old...

Quinn is 4 weeks old today and celebrated with a tough day for mom. She (and mom) are still trying to find a good schedule. The night was decent but the day was not the greatest.

Tonight will be an adventure for sure and we will have to see what little Ms. Quinn has in store for mom.

We are still reminding ourselves.. she is only 4 weeks old.... she is only 4 weeks old...

Easter

Quinn had her first Easter weekend and it was quite the experience to travel all around with her. She was good for most of the weekend, however, the extended time with her aunts and uncles in London was great but the long drive back threw her off a bit and made her not a happy camper. All in all she had a good trip but we have to work better on the planning as with that drive and her age you have to plan it to the minute!

She then spent time seeing her Aaji, Aaja, and poowa. She had a big and not so glamorous first. She threw up for the first time and it was projectile. It was rather like the exorcist and it just kept coming . We felt terrible for her as she was obviously initially scared. She calmed down pretty quick. Her poowa took some great pictures of her.

Overall Quinn scored some great chocolate (Daddy was happy) and got tonnes of attention.

Last night mom and dad put her on the sofa to see what she would do and she almost turned over by herself. She is definitely strong. She pulled her head out of my hand for almost 3 seconds.

Her sleep last night was not that great and mom suffered. She did go to the doctor today and she is up to 8lbs 7 ounces!! Our little chunker! We are glad that weight is not an issue for her.
