Dear Quinn,
Oh my, you've hit double figures. I can't actually believe it! Where on earth is the time going. I have to admit in the last few days I've actually started thinking about your birthday party. Oh my!!!
I normally make a note of names we call you at the moment. Well for you, as Jed often reminds me "Mummy, Quinn's name is Quinn, Quinneth, happy old soul (he heard Nanny say it and thought she'd renamed you), sweetheart or little darling". That last one is all Jed, he said he made it up just for you. I know when you read this it might seem silly to make a note of, but we might have forgotten by then, and I don't want to forget these little things.
I can't keep writing without saying that honestly your little face would brighten up the stormiest of days...and yes, I know, I'm biased, but I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this. When you smile, which is nearly all the time, your WHOLE face lights up...I adore and I mean adore! how you can just be going about your own business and then you catch our eyes, or someone walks in the room and you grin at us like we are the best thing you've ever seen. Having someone look at you like that is such a privilege.
You are into EVERYTHING at the moment, you are a speed crawler and like to pull yourself up all the time. You've even started walking the length of the sofa while holding on (oh lord I really don't think walking will be that far away), mainly to get to Saxon who you are fascinated with, but who sadly is a bit wary of you.
You can sense the gate being left open a mile away and you zoom out of it, into the kitchen into the drawers, trying to climb up the stairs, into the bathroom, you name it you want to see it all.
I don't think you really have a favourite toy as such, but your love balloons. Especially if they are on a stick that you can wave around.
You will eat anything it seems and have learnt now that if you throw something on the floor Saxon will eat it, which you seem to like doing just so that he'll sit under the highchair.
You clamber all over us when we sit on the floor and will climb over anything in your way, you are one determined little crawler.
You are getting better at sleeping the last few nights (touch wood!) but you've been having a spell of being awake between 2:30 and 4:00, not upset, just awake. Standing up in your cot, hitting me on the head to make sure i'm awake, shouting at the top of your voice, you name it. You little weirdo ;o)
You are pure sunshine sweetheart, you really are! Thank you for making our little family complete.
Love you always,
Mummy x
