Quinn's Corner: 10 and 11 months...walking, talking, and taking names!

We seriously can't believe that in less than a month our little baby will officially be "1". It has seriously been the most amazing year of our lives and we never knew that we could love something so much. She is totally ON THE MOVE and doesn't sit still unless we are reading one of her favorite books!

We have made a couple trips to the Duck Pond at VT with her best friend Annabelle, another trip to the aquatic center to swim with her friend Adelaide, a big trip to VA Beach with lots of time in the sand, and most importantly LOTS of time at home with Mommy now that summer vacation is here!! She is walking everywhere with her walker and starting to stand a little on her own. We know that her first steps are literally around the corner. She is also talking/signing a ton, which has made life so much easier! Her new obsession is different animals and their noises. She has started to say "duck", "ball", "puppy", "thank you", "whoa", "dog" (she literally squeals with delight when we see them on our walks), "more", and of course "mama" and "dada". She even sings a "bubble" song with us while clapping her hands. We are currently working on teaching her "help" to avoid the ear piercing scream she has decided to grace us with instead.

We can't wait to visit Connecticut soon so that all of our family can see how much she's changed since Christmas. Hopefully we can make another trip back to the beach too! Here's hoping that this summer doesn't fly by too quickly!
