Quinn's First Snowman


This is Quinn's first snowman. It was actually warm enough yesterday to go outside. The snow was melting. It was good packing snow. Now, you saw how different today is...with the weather! I had a blast making this snowman with Quinn. I got some good one-on-one time with him. :)

I think this is the cutest snowman ever.

A write up about the boys

I was asked to write up a paragraph about the boys.  I thought I'd share since the person it's for doesn't look at my blog anyways.

Quinn is an energetic 2-year-old. He has to do everything himself. His favorite saying is, "I want to do it." He even sleeps talk, yelling that phrase in the night. Quinn loves to cook, do puzzles, draw, color, read books, play games, watch shows, run, and play with trains. Quinn obsesses about trains. He won't do something unless it involves a train somehow. He also sleep talks about trains. Currently, his favorite games are learning games that include numbers and letters. He can't seem to get enough of them. He loves to learn new things. Quinn loves his family and loves it when they do things together.

Quinn is very social and loves to make new friends. He makes friends anywhere he goes. He likes to include everyone and is very thoughful of others.
 

Paxton is a rambunctious 10-month-old. He is learning to crawl and loves to stand. He walks around the room holding onto furniture. Paxton loves to play peek-a-boo and loves peek-a-boo books. He is learning to feed himself and is often a mess as a result. Paxton absolutely loves his family. He lights up when Daddy, Mommy, or Quinn walks into the room. Paxton loves Quinn to play with him. Paxton and Quinn will often get into a screaming/squealing match. When Quinn isn't around, Paxton seems to become bored more easily. Paxton loves fleece blankets and stuffed animals. These are two things that can calm him down when Mommy isn't around or when he is extremely tired.

Handsome Brothers

Can you tell? The boys got hair cuts today. This is Paxton's first.
 
 
Paxton has some natural curl to his hair so his was harder to cut.  I thought Quinn's was hard because his is bone straight thick fine hair.  If I snip in the wrong spot it's completely noticeable.
