BabyLady, you are so inquisitive & perceptive.  Yesterday morning, you sat on my lap with your milk & we snuggled while Mommy finished up a deck for work.  You noticed that the image for CTAs (the little guy without a face) was "That boy has no face, Mommy?"  So innocent & sweet!  I explained to you that it was just a picture & he was just drawn that way.  You make me see the world through fresh new eyes & innocence, Quinn.

I love you,
Mommy

Quotable Quinn

Here are some of your more recent, most memorable quotes ...

"Look Mommy!!  I'm a bike rider!" (riding your Christmas tricycle from Santa in the living room WITH your new helmet, of course)

"Mommmmmyyyyy, I'm talKIng to YOU!" said in a sing-song voice while you ate lunch & I was looking something up on my iPhone

You've started using Not Yet & Soon correctly as you talk about things

You state your emotions, i.e., "I sad."  "I want my puppy back." "I crying, Mommy." "I excited!!" as you pump your little fists in front of you & pant, like the puppy to show your excitement ... You wear your heart on your sleeve, it's really very sweet & innocent.

When Grandma was visiting about a month or so ago, you told us you were sad while we were eating dinner.  When we asked what was making you sad, you said: "Dinner make me sad."  Well, Grandma just thought that was hysterical.  And, quite honestly, it was (I s'pose you had to be there ... =) Grandma started cracking up laughing.  You gave her the stink eye!  You didn't want anyone thinking you were funny!  You wanted to be taken seriously!

You say "bay-bana" for banana & "oat-me-meal" for oatmeal, your current breakfast of choice.

The other day you brushed my hair & then announced, "Now you look boo-tee-full."

Yesterday on two separate occasions you told Daddy he was "a nice daddy" & followed that sweet proclamation with a hug & kiss. You told Mommy the same. You have the unmatched (well, except maybe your baby brother) ability to make us melt with a single statement or bit of affection. Amazing.

I love you, you silly, sweet, smart girl!
Mommy
