20 Days and 18 Month Check Up

 Quin is twenty days old today! We celebrated by taking him outside and laying him on grass for the first time ever. He wasn't too thrilled to have prickly things poking on his bald head, so he quickly demanded that I pick him up again. As for how he's doing the rest of the day? He was sleeping well the first two weeks of life. Then, last week, we had anarchy. The first fifteen days he slept with us in our bed. The past five days have been a bit of trial and error to get him out. Now we seem to have a semi-established schedule where he goes in the bassinet. That way, David and myself can roll around without fear.

Speaking of rolling, turns out Quinton can already roll from his stomach to his back. He did it twice (to the left) within minutes. We found this out AS I was typing the post. 

 My three (potential) gingers. I love each of them and the different levels of insanity they each grant me.

  

 While Quinton was having some grass time, Tucker was playing with one of our playground's toys. 

 As for Tucker, he has two new addictions. He enjoys to play on my cell phone, which he does so with one finger, so it looks like he's poking it. Tuck attempts to play with his new baby brother by poking Quinton in the eye. At least there's no jealousy between them. Tucker is quite happy to share his mommy with crazy Quin.

At his eighteen month check up, we learned that Tucker is 85th percentile in weight and 92nd in height. The McKay genes keep shining through with this monster kid. Among his cousins, Tucker is actually somewhat small.

Tucker says assorted words like Mama, Dada, Grandpa, up, down, hi, bye and so forth. Since Quin, or Quinton, even, is a bit difficult to say, we call the baby 'Coo Coo' around the house. Tucker understands the English language pretty darn well. He's incredibly obedient and will walk outside with me and need almost no guidance to stay with me. His favorite activities involve splashing people during bath time and closing cabinet drawers/doors.
