Mr. Independent

It must be so frustrating to be one.  Quinn is trying so hard to be independent, but when you can't talk, it's pretty hard to express what it is you are wanting to do.  He loves to stand in the refrigerator and "eh eh eh" until I figure out what it is he's wanting to eat or drink.  He loves to try to feed himself with his spoon (just a big mess for me to clean up).  He loves to take off and go walking after whatever it is that catches his eye...most frequently one of the six fox living in our neighborhood or fountains.

The splash park seems to be the best place to let Mr. Quinn try to be independent...I don't really care to drive home soaking wet so he's on his own to wander and explore all the fountains.  Tuesdays this summer it's our plan to hit up "Tunes and Tales for Toddlers" at the public library with Quinn's buddy Kenna (she has the same birthday and is older by just 14 hours) and then go to the splash park.  Yesterday was our first day and we had so much fun!  We sang songs, read books, clapped our hands, and played with bells in group at the library then put on our swim duds and headed out to play!

Just a few pics of Mr. Independent himself.

Surrounded By Fun!

 After a GREAT morning, Quinn was asleep before I even pulled out of our parking space.  To any mom...that is a successful morning!
