Did we mention Quinn loves spring rolls? While his eating habits have broadened in some areas they are pickier in others. He eats very well with a spoon and mashed potatoes or potatoes of any kind are a big draw. Watermelon is his absolute favorite. (The stroller comes in handy as a highchair). 
Quinn is off and running! He runs forward and backwards and also in circles. Here he is accompanied by his Grandma and Uncle Adam.
Last week we sent our cousin, Nicole, off to take the MCAT. We know she did very well. 
Quinn tries a tamale for the first time and requests more. So delicious. Thanks, Lupita!
In Dad's new office. Quinn would like one of these stools for home.
Also in Dad's new office. Lots of glass to run into.
More of Dad's new office. Look how clean it is!
Michigan has finally warmed up and has been in the mid 70's for 1 week. To celebrate Quinn visited his favorite Kazakh horse and then decided to cut 8 teeth all at once. It has been an interesting few days of fever, low appetite, crankiness and sleeplessness.
Quinn stayed closeby as he was a bit tentative about the sand. 
The family catches some rays and fresh air.
It's been a long time since the last post. Life has been busy just hanging out. After a relentless winter spring finally seems to be coming! We welcomed the rain today and look forward to exploring spring flowers.
We've spent some time walking around Fredrick Meijer Gardens and the outdoor sculpture park. Quinn can roam free and seems to notice all of the trees, bushes and sculpted works. 
We love frogs!!
A typical day at home consists of running the halls and getting our dog Mae to play. Quinn's favorite toys include blocks and Duplos.
Lately, Quinn has not had much of an appetite. He's been teething and is on antibiotics again for the 5th time as we anxiously await tubes this week. His ears have been infected since our arrival home. We hope the surgery will clear his little ears.
Weeks past Quinn's birthdate, we were still celebrating with gifts and lunch outings. People watching is intriguing. This must be mixed with a little flirting of course. 
Quinn walks around the house with confidence. He is so happy to be up and mobile. There are more things to see! He breaks into a run and keeps it going all day long. This makes him very hungy and even though he isn't talking yet he has figured out that making chewing motions and sounds with him mouth signals that he wants food. Other times he breaks out into fun giggles.
Quinn celebrates his 1st birthday at home with Dad's homemade carrot cake. He cautiously studied the cake before eating.
The three muskateers out on the town for a birthday dinner.
Quinn feeds mom some of his cake.
Dad tries to keep Quinn occupied while the cake is ordered.
