Q52 Week 46: kisses are a better fate than wisdom.

Meet Jack, Quinn's first friend. I would say they're more like frienemies currently, despite what you see in this picture. That's the funny thing about photography, you can capture an image that tells a story that could be completely different than the truth behind the photo!

Quinn has started a new phase I'm going to call the "don't fuck with me" phase. The word "no" is used often, and correctly. And when used on other children, is usually is followed by a shove. Part of me laughs, but part of me thinks, "Ugh…I am a parent of that child!"

But then on the flip side, there's this. The kisses. And they are unlimited, coupled with a "MWAH!!!" I mean...

Q52 Week 45: Venting

Heat's on. A certain someone immediately realized the fun involved in forced hot air. Mommy and Daddy, who continuously fight over the proper temperature, don't really think it's as fun. Especially not Mommy, since she knows how much it costs.

Q52 Week 44: Lamda Lamda Lamda

Anyone know if Skolnick from Revenge of the Nerds is dating anyone? I'm pretty sure he would LOVE my little Quinnie... but I jest. Nobody is dating my girl until I have raised her right to know that she is the bees knees and anyone whom she gives her attention to is the luckiest person in the world. 

This costume cost me a total of $0, which is what a costume for a 1-year-old should cost, in my opinion. 

We wandered the neighborhood with some big kids and parents but Quinn pretty much stayed in her stroller. The kiddos got candy, and the parents got red Solo cups. Did the parents stroll the streets freely drinking when we were younger, too?

Quinn Trick-or-Treated at three homes near our own house, just with the immediate neighbors who would have wanted to see her ridiculously adorable costume anyway!!

I mean, you have to admit it is insanely cute!

Q52 Week 42: Pick Your Own.

Every social network is flooded with photos of kids pumpkin picking. So what the heck, why not throw my hat into the ring? 

From here on out, we are doing everything at sunset. 

And here's the other contender:

Q52 Weeks 39 & 40: Playing Catch-up!

We visited an alpaca farm. It was really cute. Until the alpaca that you're allowed to pet attacked a kid. Ok, not really - but damn those things are shifty. 

And here is our beautiful sleeper. She is officially (and finally) in her crib. We are co-sleeping no longer. No regrets doing the co-sleeping for as long as we did - and no regrets being done either. We are enjoying our free time baby-free at night...sort of.
