Quinn 6 weeks old..

Quinn has giving mom some quite eventful days and Dad some eventful evenings. She is doing great and just seems to change her schedule whenever she feels like it. She definitely has dad's patience (not a good thing). Sleep still sucks and not because Quinn is doing anything crazy, it is just we are not a big fan of broken sleep. We are both sure in third world countries they use broken sleep as a tactic to break people...

We both look at Quinn in early pictures and see her now and can't believe how much she has grown and changed. She now is quite content in the vibrating chair or the Rain Forest swing. However we still can't get her to sleep in there. We aren't complaining as this gives us some great time to enjoy dinner and get some stuff done. She continues to show us new faces and new sounds all the time which keeps both of us rather amused.

The good weather has been great for Mom as she has been walking up a storm with Quinn. Quinn loves the walks and Mom even got adventurous yesterday and sped up the pace to a jog...

Grammy gets some Quinn time

Grammy and Grampy came down this week and Grammy got a chance to experience all the glory that is Quinn. She also gave mom and dad a great break. It was the first time in over a month that Mom and Dad slept in the same bed which was a wonderful gift. It is amazing how much can get done when you have an extra set of hands to help.

Grammy and Quinn were like peas in a pod all week and Quinn didn't want it any other way! It was an emotional time when Grammy finally had to leave. Quinn got all choked up and gave dad a hard time Friday night just to make sure we both knew she missed her grammy.

What's so funny??

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...
