Happy New Year! Wow-wee. Here I am posting midway through January, and already so much has happened. Some good, some not so good. On January 6th the capitol building was stormed by a mob. That is something I will not forget. I was working and doing televideo appointments all day,

Balloons, Milkshakes, and Trikes Brr! It's finally starting to feel a bit like fall! It's been so warm up until pretty recently. November has been full of days where a tank top is perfectly comfortable, as well as days where I need my big puffy parka.

Oct 15th - Nov 1st 2020

Time is flying! I have been SO GOOD about posting at least once every 2 weeks or so... but it's already been a MONTH since my last post! I can't say we have been any busier than usual, I've just been kicking the can

August 27th - September 13th 2020

11 Months Nope, can't believe it. A whole 11 months. 1 year is around the corner! I tried to get a picture of him standing, because that is what he is doing a lot of at this age! Q is a good eater. Here he is after having

A Dishwasher! So having a baby has increased the amount of dishes we use, AND who wants to be washing dishes when you can be playing with Q! So... mum has graciously agreed to get a dishwasher and help us install it. Boy this has been a BIG project. I

June 1st - June 17th 2020

The Great Big Outdoors! The weather has been absolutely beautiful. Q has been enjoying his days outside playing with grass and dandelions. We also have been having some of our meals outside too. We have dinner either Saturday or Sunday evening with Me-Ma and Pop-Pop. Sometimes Q likes to nap

Memorial Day & 9 Months

May 18th - May 31st Milestone Update Quentin has been on the verge of crawling for a few weeks now. He has been able to crawl backwards, however this would generally get him farther away from whatever he was wanting to crawl towards which was frustrating to him! However on

8 Months, Haircuts, and Outside

Easter

Happy Easter / Birthdays Well we all continue to be in quarantine... Alex, Q and I have decided to separate ourselves from everyone aside from our little bubble which includes Alex's parents and my mom. We spent Easter with my mom and Kimmy in Easton. It was also Brock&

Spring

It's so nice outside! With warmer weather comes more time outside. This is particularly good since with social distancing in full swing, we cannot go out and do other activities. We saw Grandma Carol during the week. Here she is with Q watching Ethan and Kimmy play badminton.

7 Months & Social Distancing

6 feet away! As of this past week, I am working 100% from home now doing televideo sessions. This is due to the governor closing down all non-essential businesses, and I can technically do all I need to do via televideo anyway. Transitioning to this type of appointment has been

Cousin Time & Covid19

Visiting Arlington Cousin time! We all went to visit my Cousin Michelle and her husband Matt, and 2 wonderful children Josh and Zach. Here is Michelle getting a Quentin selfie. We also went out to Lyon Hall [https://www.lyonhallarlington.com/] for lunch, and Q and I got the Lobster

Bounces, Lemons, and Horses

Oh My! Lots of fun new experiences these past 2 weeks. Quentin is just shy of 6 months, and is continuing to improve in his fine motor skills. This has led us to giving him more varied foods! We are also trying to expose him to allergens to hopefully avoid
