Quinn is starting to walk

Our little Quinn is quite a funny kid. He has a great sense of humor and giggles constantly. As you can see, it is time for a much needed haircut. Our first attempt several weeks ago was not successful. Stay tuned for the next round of fun.

Quinn scoots along our wall of windows to observe the snow and woods. He is surprisingly cautious about standing and walking on his own. He is filled with a tremendous sense of accomplishment when he finds he's standing without support or take a few steps alone.

New year, new friends!

Quinn's social calendar continues to book up with activities and dates. He loves being around children and getting out and about.

Quinn and Spencer finally meet! They are both from the same Astana Babyhouse. Amazing!

Our first family outing to our favorite restaurant, Gaia. Quinn is next to his new buddy, Max. They enjoyed buckwheat pancakes and carrot juice.

We survived the meal at this family-friendly hot spot.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

As the holiday season winds down we find ourselves getting back to a routine. Quinn has the sniffles but is still as outgoing and chipper as ever.

Merry Christmas!

Quinn's first family party has him in stitches!! Family and friends have been meeting and greeting us all week. Quinn is alert and happy observing all of the new faces and surroundings.

Quinn looks around on Christmas morning. His favorite toy is the Leap Frog Activity Center. He gave us the gift of sleeping through the night for the first time on Christmas.

Quinn experiences a growth spurt!

Quinn is eating everything in sight and our dog, Mae is not far behind for maximum left-overs. His activity level astounds us and keeping up with him is a challenge. He loves music and has begun to move his body to beats. His daily discoveries and accomplishments are so exciting to watch. We are truly happy to be home.

Home at last!

It's been a little more than one week since we arrived home. Quinn has adjusted quite well and we are having a blast with him. He loves his new surroundings and each day we are greeted with bigger and bigger smiles. His food intake is enormous and he has a taste for everything, however new textures are a bit more challenging.

Here we are enjoying the fresh, botanic air and Christmas tree display of Fred Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids.

Hi everyone.

We are HOME!! Yeah. We completed our business in Almaty earlier than anticipated and were able to depart on Friday. All is well. We are catching up on sleep and enjoying a nice Michigan blizzard. Quinn is doing very well and is a super sweet incredible boy. He greeted everyone with big smiles and is excited by his new home.

We will post photos and more details soon.
