Happy Birthday, Bugaboo!

AWE!!! The big milestone has come and gone....Quinn, you're becoming quite the toddler and not our little baby anymore :( We spent last night reminiscing about a year ago when Brent was en-route from Guam and my mom and I were at Portsmouth hospital trying to hold off labor...look how far we've come!

Quinn, I cannot imagine my days without you by my side! You're mommy's best friend and despite your non-napping days and still waking at night for a quick snack, I can't picture life any other way!!!

Miss Quinn had a great birthday, despite the fact that Mommy booked her 1 yr. well check today and she got 5 shots this morning...GOD was I feeling guilty! Hard to believe she entered this world at only 4 lbs. and today she was in the 81% for weight and 87% for height-she has certainly caught right up!

After much debate about the perfect gift, or rather, which dog toy to purchase for her big 1 yr. birthday-you know she really only loves whatever Sophie is playing with-she was thrilled with all her new gifts, although, as you can tell from above, a good 'ol tennis ball is always sure to bring on a smile!

Of course, Grammie and Papa's gift was a huge hit-she was thrilled to hear the neighing box and bouncing up and down before her little horsey even got out of the box! She's still not sure she'll ride on top, but she loved pushing it around and listening to the music!


Her wheely bee might be a little too big to ride just yet, but the antennae were fun to play with!


Yup-a doggie, perhaps Quinn's favorite from the Little People school-she is truly OBSESSED with dogs and literally jumps out of her stroller whenever she spots one from a mile away and then runs pointing until we can go touch it, so she wanted to hold this little one all day long!


The big caterpillar birthday bash is on Saturday with all her playgroup buddies. We did try a practice round tonight with a little cupcake, but she was more interested in eating the candle...we'll get the real footage on Saturday after I perfect the perfect caterpillar cake :) (let's hope!)
Promise to get a few pics up before Myrtle Beach!
