Quinn's New Tricks

Quinn is doing really well at sitting up on his own now. To encourage this, we bought a bunch of used toys that he can only interact with really well if he's sitting. He's also rolling better, but still not shifting his weight super well. We're doing exercises now to get him to get himself into the sitting position from side laying and more weight shifting. Who knew all the things we had to learn as babies! 

Lauren enjoys playing with brother's toys. He's so good natured, she doesn't care that she grabs the toys from him. At Shaunie's great advice, we are now practicing "substituting," which means she can't take a toy from brother without first getting him one of equal or greater enjoyment. It's worked really well and I was grateful for the advice. It's fun to see them interacting a little more. They both enjoy "talking" with each other where he makes a noise and she imitates it, then he makes another noise, etc.

I can't believe he's almost a year old and Lauren will be 3 this month!
