Forward Progress

Here is Quin attempting to crawl. Well it's really Joe and I trying to force him into it by keeping his favorite toy out of reach. He absolutely loves this little monkey his Auntie Donna and Uncle Carl gave him and tries desperately to get to it so that he can chew on the arm. However, he just ends up going backwards and then he gets really mad. You can see how exhausting all of this is for Quin in the picture of him and Opa. I can't tell you how many pictures I have of the two of them sleeping...they even snore the same!
Quin can now stand holding onto things (usually my hair) and takes little tiny steps. He can almost pull himself up to a standing position but he usually ends up getting stuck somehow. Tonight after dinner I put him on my shoulders and he got a kick out of that. In fact, he thought it was so exciting he threw up on my head! Must be like a baby amusement park ride - like the time my cousin John decided to go on the Turkish Twist a dozen times because it was so much fun. Speaking of John, he is in Cuba right now with the Coast Guard. Hopefully he has internet access so he can keep up with Quin's new adventures :)
