month 1

Quincy -

you are now one month old. time has gone so fast and i cant believe that we have had you here for an entire month! you are already such a joy and i cant even imagine life without you. you are a very even tempered, content little girl. you dont cry unless you are starving or cold, like when you are getting your diaper changed with moms ice cold hands. but i think you are starting to get used to that. you dont like baths so i filled the tub and took one with you and you loved that. it was fun for me too. you are a great eater and dont spit up much. most nights you sleep 6-7 at a time and i feel like i have been spoiled. you are so little and dainty and are still in newborn clothes. i cant wait until you get to 0-3 months because we will have so many more outfits to choose from. we have had to borrow newborn stuff from friends and family. you still have lots of hair and dont seem to be losing any of it yet. i hope it stays, i love it. you smiled at dad today for the first time and he felt pretty special. he loves you alot and i can already see that you are going to be a daddys girl.

you have done alot of fun things your first month of life. when you were five days old we went to thanksgiving point with your cousins makayla and behlie and saw a bunch of farm animals. over the next 3 weeks we have gone to swiss days in midway, a byu football game in provo (which you slept through like a gem!), you went on a horse ride with dad and a 4 wheeler ride up and around the field in wallsburg. we went to a movie in park city with our good friends the bonners and camping one night with dad while he was hunting. we were out of propane so it made for a chilly night but we bundled you up and you slept like a rock. you have been wonderful during all of these events and have already enjoyed life to the fullest! you are very mellow and easy to take almost anywhere. i hope you stay that way. you have met the dogs a few times and are not sure what you think but they think you taste good. they insist on licking some part of your body every time they see you.

quincy, you are truly a blessing to us, a gift from god. we love you with all our hearts and are so happy that we are blessed to have you in our lives. it has been pure joy since you have joined us and we adore every little thing about you. there are many times that we just sit and stare at you, we cant get enough. you have taught us so much about love and patience and working together and im sure we will continue to learn from you. we look forward to months and years to come and enjoying every minute with you.

love you lots.
