Dr. Appointments and a new toy

Well this week started off at the 24 week mark for the new baby-- a part of me can't believe how quickly 6 months has gone by and the other part can't believe we have to wait 4 more months to officially meet our new little girl!  The Dr said all is looking great at our last appointment and I think we have plenty to keep us busy until she gets here!  We will try to take a belly picture this weekend.


Another something that is hard to believe: last week Quinn hit the year and a half mark!  She had her 18M doctor's appointment this morning and we got another great report! She is up to 33", 24.075lbs & HC=47.  We have been busy since last weekend getting her big girl room ready.  Godsey was sweet enough to help Dean move everything last weekend and last night Dean put her new bookshelves together.  I wish I had my camera out, it was so cute--Quinn kept trying to help Dean every step of the way.  We are trying to spend a little time in there every day decorating, moving toys & clothes and just getting Quinn acquainted with the room-- so far, she is loving it but Dean and I are pretty nervous for this change.


Here are a couple of quick pictures I took of Quinn playing in the cabinets this past weekend.




And one more notable incident...
So, we were having a rough time with lunch the other day and to encourage our little vegetarian to eat her chicken, I thought I'd pull out the booster seat to make it more fun.  Of course, she follows me wherever I go, so she also saw the potty box in the closet that I was saving for Christmas.  She insisted that we got it out and immediately wanted to try it. We put it in the powder room and within 5 minutes, she went!  I was sooo proud!! She got a sticker, 2 animal cookies and lots of hugs & kisses as a reward.  Since then, she has gone a few more times, and we are just amazed!  


We weren't planning to start potty training until after the baby got here, so this was a complete shock!  I'm still not sure we are ready yet, so we are going to let Quinn lead the way on this one and see how it goes!  And I'm sorry punkin, this was just too cute not to post-- love you!
