Yum!

Quinton LOVES playing in the grass! Hopefully the weather in IA stays nice for a while so he can enjoy the grass for a while longer before the snow flies.
In addition to playing in the grass, Q loves eating it! (okay, so not really eating it, but at least licking it)

And look at how excited he is that Mom is feeding him real food! Just don't try to feed him green beans ... he's NOT a fan ...

Math wiz?

Meg and Quinn were in Mpls for a wedding over Labor Day weekend and stayed at Dana's house. Grandma Miller's old abacus was pretty mesmerizing to Q ... do we have a math genius on our hands?

Papa and Gigi visit Quinn

Q's grandparents were making their loop through the Midwest and stopped to get some Q-time!

Quinn and his Dad at Caribou.



Since Quinn's Mom wouldn't share her cooler, Q decided to chomp on Dad's nose instead.



Yes - we were at Caribou again!



Listen to Quinn and Papa have a "conversation".

Swimming!

The Rudes were in the Wisconsin Dells the weekend before last and I met them up there for a couple days. I got to experience Q's first trip to the pool! The water was a little chilly the first day (hence the tears below), but Meg assures me he loved it when they took him to a warmer pool.

Skiing

Quinn is practicing his water skiing for the next time he gets to go out on the boat with Papa:

Auntie D

Dana was in Des Moines last weekend to visit with the Rudes. She got in a little nap with Q and lots of snuggles:

He's getting better at playing with toys and reaching for things:

Poser

This picture cracked us up! Does he know how to pose for the camera or what?!
