One Big Blur

We have been home from the hospital for three weeks and they have been one big blur!  I have no idea what day it is, what time it is, what month it is and I cannot fathom that Quinn will be one month old already this weekend!!  What have we been doing?!  These last couple of weeks have been filled with sleep deprivation, crazy evenings filled with tantrums, baths, bribing our toddler to eat dinners, feeding our infant every three hours, diapers up to our eyeballs, and an occasional moment of silence where Eric and I both take a deep breath and regroup before the next meltdown.  It's all worth it in the end, right?!  All complaints aside, we have two great kids.  One very enthusiastic two-year-old who has been super sweet to his baby sister and a daughter who is a calm, happy, sleepy baby that just wants to eat, cuddle, and sleep all day.  Life is chaotic but good.

Here is a glimpse of the last couple of weeks....

 Quinn had her first couple of doctor's appointments.  The week we came home from the hospital she had gained 2 ounces (7 pounds, 6 ounces total).  We went back one week later to make sure she was still gaining weight and she had gained 6 ounces in 7 days :)  Making the grand total back up to 7 pounds, 12 ounces!! 

 The weather finally made a turn around so we spent some time sun bathing on the deck.

 Tiny baby ball.

 Early morning cartoons.

 Quinn's first stroller ride around the neighborhood.  Slept through the whole thing.

 Bribed to eat his dinner with ice cream.

 One of many trips to the park.  Nolan is fearless and loves to go down all of the slides.  Quinn likes to watch her big brother.

 Nolan had another hair cut.  This was the first time that he let the hairdresser put the cape on him and use the buzzer to trim the hair around his neck.  He earned two suckers for his performance.  This was also on the way to Babies R Us for our first errand with Quinn.  I was nervous but everyone behaved and we survived unharmed :)

 Our first time out to dinner as a party of four.  Quinn slept the whole time.

 Bath night.

 Quinn's first bath.  Just like her brother, she loves bath time!!

 Helping dad.

 Clean duck girl.

 Starting to open her eyes more and more each day.  Peeking at mom.

 Play time.

 Looking cute and getting big.

 Powell held this thing called, "Touch a Truck."  I have always wanted to take Nolan but it is always scheduled on a Friday morning.  They held it again last week and so we ventured out with Quinn in tow to see the trucks.  It was pretty cool.  They had school buses, cement mixers, big rigs, ambulances, fire trucks, taxis, you name it; they had it.  Nolan liked sitting in the trucks and honking the horns and it was a beautiful day!

 Checking out the ambulance.

 Driving the cement mixer.

 Sleephead snuggling with her blanket.

....and, of course, more sleeping out of this one :)
