Uncle Colin and VT Football

Quinn had a few firsts this labor day weekend.  She met her Uncle Colin and attended her first VT tailgate.  Christin's mom was also nice enough to come visit to babysit so that we could all go to the game.  We ended up tailgating at home that way we could spend time with Quinn and avoid any rain.  Awesome forecast by the way...all we saw was a slight mist.  Being a meteorologist must be the best job ever, you are almost always wrong AND you never get fired.  The game ended up being great and we pulled out the dramatic overtime win.  Luckily, I was smart enough to take the next day off from work since Colin and I had performed some hardcore pregame hydration.  Overall it was a great weekend, Quinn was all smiles every time she saw Colin, she spent a night with GiGi, I was able to tailgate like we did pre-baby and Christin got to babysit me.  Just like old times.  Happy football season everyone!

Quinn is seven weeks now and she seems to be getting bigger every day.  We tried weighing her on our neighbor's bread scale and we think she is around 10lbs 9oz now (don't judge us).  She is smiling and cooing all of the time now.  She also is starting to notice the world around her especially Jackson and her toys that hang over her baby carrier.  We have now learned the difference between all of her cries such as the "I am pissed off come and hold me" cry or the "Hey idiot come feed me" cry.  She is an awesome baby and sleeps for around seven and a half hours for the first stretch of the night and then two more after that (lucky me Christin is cranky without her sleep).  I am pretty sure she is gifted and gets that from me.  On to some pictures:
