Another week come and gone

Ryanna has become more "helpful" this week always wanting to assist with changing Quinten or just hugging him because she says he is sad. Either way we've had to be diligent in keeping him safe from an eye gouging while encouraging Ryanna's willingness to help and be kind. It's a tough balance to strike but we're just grateful she is enjoying baby brother.

Quinten is such a smiler in his sleep. I haven't caught a good picture of it yet but in this pic he just started smiling and making coo sounds in his sleep. Such a cute little guy!
Princess dress up AND dad's Red's baseball batting hat: see Brian she can be girly and sporty at the same time. :)
We've all been pretty tired these last few weeks - that's just one of the adjustments!
We've had so many packages, cards, and thoughtful phone calls wishing us luck with Quinten. Ryanna hasn't had time to be jealous because so many people have also sent gifts for her. This Ariel doll couldn't have been a more perfect gift. Thanks Cheryl!!!!
Well Brian got his recliner. I have to admit that we all love it though even though I wasn't as excited about getting it as he was. We all have had our share of naps in it!

This is an awkward angle but just too cute to pass up. He just kept smiling and I wanted to capture it to share.

Brian's mentor gave us a Walmart gift card for Quinten so I decided to get him an activity center. He is a bit little for it yet but I was surprised to see how interested he was in the mirror above him.

What a sweet big sister. Enjoy these moments they go by so quickly. Quinten seems so big already. Enjoy that recliner, there will be many sleepy moments in it. they are the best.

Ah...so cute. She is such a good little helper and I love her singing voice. Get't it from her mamma! Quinten's smile is so cute. I love when that happens.
