11 Months

>> Thursday, February 17, 2011

A milestone sorta put the 11 month photo shoot and blog post on hold. Our sincerest of apologies! Mopey days were upon us as the mercury rose and Quinn's little body battled it's first fever. It lasted a good 3 and a half days. 'Twas a long 3 and a half days...BUT, Quinn was the cuddliest and best koala impersonator around. Here's the sad little chap in full fever mode:


And now here she be trying her best to be her chipper, silly self:



And now a picture we took today.





So after the fever debacle, Quinn broke out into a rash. Fever for 3~4 days, then sudden appearance of rash? Roseola my friends. We're thankful Quinn wasn't the 10-15% of babies who suffer seizures from the virus.

But anywho, in the broad spectrum of things, Quinn is doing GREAT. She's such a happy kiddo. Her willingness to communicate with her little hands is truly amazing to us right now. Her vocab continues to grow and is now signing 'more', 'all done', 'eat', 'bath', 'book', and 'milk'.

She's eating mainly finger foods and favors anything powdered or containing cheese. Joe glows in delight in this and is already eagerly cultivating her cheese palette.

I need to give her more fish, rice, and soy sauce.

Quinn turns ONE in 3 weeks....

ONE.

I repeat.

ONE.

ONE!

Haha...and don't forget the natto!

So sorry your little Quinster was so sick. I hate it when the little guys don't feel good. It's the saddest thing ever.

And I can't believe she is almost one. I remember looking at her newborn pics and getting the baby fever (okay - I had it before then, but that just intensified it). Now we've got our little Abby. Time is passing too quickly :(
