Grandi's Visit to Portland

Quincy's Grandi came to visit him for two weeks! They bonded immediately and were inseperable for the rest of the trip! It was amazing to see how much Quincy changed in just two weeks. He is saying so many more words now and according to his Grandi he is the "smartest kid on the planet"!

We had a lot of fun while Grandi was here. We took a trip to the Oregon coast. Unfortunately, as you can see from this photo of us on the beach, it was cold, rainy and windy! Typical for a day at the Oregon beach!

Grandi got to see all of Quincy's friends when they played at the park. The sandbox was a hit!

One of the most exciting parts of the trip was seeing Barack Obama at his rally in Portland. This is a picture of us in downtown Portland with the 80,000 other supporters....wow! We saw him get out of his bus and screamed like schoolgirls.

Finally, Quincy tried a new food while Grandi was in town. Watermelon....it was a hit!

And after all of those adventures.....he is EXHAUSTED! Check out that belly!

Update from Quincy's world

Sorry to not post something for so long, I guess we have been busy!

Our trip to Utah wasn't quite what we expected, Quincy was really sick...darn! But, we did get to go to the farm and see the calves and Quincy had fun seeing his aunts, uncles, grandpa and grandma, cousins, etc. He also loved feeding KC his snacks.

Still spending time with Quincy's baby group friends which gets even more fun as they get older and actually play together. I can't believe we got them to sit still for picture on the step. And of course Quincy loved to play piano with Ryan!

And lastly, Quincy is truly his dad's son....he loves BBQ! Pictured his is one of the three (!!) ribs that he ate during his grandma's 75th birthday party.

Lots more adventures to come. Grandi is visiting for two weeks and we are going to the beach and the zoo so we'll post more pictures soon!

Quincy Loves to Eat!

Here are some pics of Quincy eating. He loves apples and just the other day insisted on eating a whole apple, not just a slice.

He is also learning how to eat with a spoon. As you can see from this picture of our first try at eating yogurt, he ended up just using his entire hand instead! Oh well!

And here is my newest favorite picture!

Quincy and Bouji

Quincy and Bouji, our cat, have a unique friendship. Quincy adores Bouji and Bouji tolerates Quincy. Last night I captured a typical chase between the two of them. First, Bouji tries her hardest to ignore Quincy.

Then Quincy goes in for the kiss and is denied!

After the first attempt, Bouji does everything she can to get away from him and he continues to follow her around.

Finally a kiss!



And then exhaustion from the chase!

Quincy's Mom Starts a Blog!

Hi Everyone,

Well, I figured it was time for me to join the 21st century and actually learn how these "new-fangeled" blog things work!

This will be a much easier way for me to keep you posted about Quincy's adventures!


I haven't shared any Easter photos yet so here are a few. We had an Easter Egg hunt at the park with Quincy's baby group friends. It was really fun but really, really cold in Portland that morning! Brr! Sheila, Quincy's daycare provider, gave him a great Easter basket and these sunglasses were part of it, he loves them....funny!





Unfortunely, we don't need sunglasses in Portland right now but I am hoping for a little warmer and sunnier weather when we are in Utah. We can't wait for our trip, less than two weeks away.


Yesterday Quincy and I went out campaigning for Obama! Go, Barack! It was fun and a little scary just knocking on doors. Mostly, people were nice and honestly, almost everyone we talked to is already voting for him.


Gotta run...more later,

Amy
