Q found a bag of cereal at my moms house. I hurried something going on in the other room but though Eric was watching him. That was not the case.

November has gone by in a flash! It helps that we have been super busy! We play with our friends the Bastians all the time, and between Work, School and everything else our calendars are full. Maddie LOVES Q and likes to dress him up in her dress ups. She had put this outfit on all by herself. She was so proud of herself!

 

We went Ice Skating on one of Eric's days off. 

Q started walking on his birthday, and hasn't stopped since. I think he sometimes walks just to walk. He is never sitting down- he is always has something to do.  We also have taught him to go down the stairs. He has only fallen down then once, and after that he never had to be told to turn around again.

 

We tried a new lotion on Q for his dry skin and he had an allergic reaction to it. His skin turned red, he was having problems breathing and had hives all over. Poor kid. We rushed him to Urgent care, and luckily they gave him some medicine to stop the reaction. 

 

 

 Speaking of Allergies, we retested Q at Children's Hospital on his allergies this month. Instead of the back pricks we opted for the blood draw. Turns out on a scale of 1-100 his scored a 100 on eggs, and a 50 on Milk. So I guess he is still allergic to Milk and Eggs. We are trying to get creative on what to feed this kid!! 

 

 Starting to drink of a sippy cup! Yes I did bribe him with a little bit of Diet Coke. What can I say he is a kid after my own heart :) Once he started drinking from the cup though, I dumped it out and put grape juice in it. So no need to freak out.

 

For Thanksgiving we went to St. George this year. It was SO fun being in the sun and the warmth! I love seeing my cousins and both of my siblings came too!

 

These pictures kinda show Q's Personality. The picture above he has a Jenga piece in his mouth. He thought he was pretty funny. Also he decided that since he had his own table to sit at, he would put his feet up. We did tie him to his chair using a ribbon. We also didnt have a chair to feed him in at my moms house down there, so we were just feeding him on the counter. He decided he wanted to eat in the sink. Crazy kid.

 

 My cousin got a new puppy named Oliver and he LOVED Q. Quentin wasnt sure what to do, since he got licked all the time! Eventually I think he warmed up to him.

 

 We also tried to take those cute light pictures you see on pinterest. Unfortunately Q kept breaking them, so we had to stop the photo shoot to clean up all the glass pieces.

 

Since Q LOVES Despicable Me, we had a Minion themed birthday at Mike and Sue's house. They were so sweet to let us have it there. Our apartment literally is shoe box and can hold NO ONE.

**Warning - Lots of Pictures**

When Q woke up from his nap and came down stairs to see all the decorations he got super excited and went straight for the balloons.

We just had a small party but it was still fun. We had our friends the Bastians, and the Twitchells. Then Grandma and Grandpa Dolder and Uncle Andrew and Grandma Corbetter. We skyped with Grandpa Corbett, Uncle Donald, Aunt Emma, Aunt Haylie, Aunt Chelsea, and Aunt Brianna. They were so sad they couldn't come. 

 When we sang Happy Birthday to Q he was in shock. We video taped it, it was pretty funny. Maddie helped blow out the candle since Q was just looking around unsure what was going on.

Wilson enjoying the Cake

 

Since he is allergic to Milk, I had a piece of cake that I didn't ice with frosting so he could have some cake. He tried it, but didn't seem to like it. I am just grateful he didn't throw up.

He decided just to play with his cake

After cake we tried Chocolate Soy Ice Cream. You didn't like that either. Again we video tapped Q's reaction.  But the picture above is the reaction. We may have been a little mean and kept giving it to him because he made the funniest faces! We think he didn't like how cold it was.

Wilson, Maddie and Annabelle

 

Bath Time.

After bath we started opening presents. Maddie and Wilson helped a lot. Wilson thought most of the presents were his. He wanted to play with all of them and was sad when he couldn't take them home. You got spoiled with all the fun presents and clothes!

 

He had so much fun at his birthday, playing with his toys and friends!  Thank you everyone that came and sent messages on is birthday and throughout the week. We are so blessed to have so many friends and family members.

I cant believe it has been a year and i am already behind on posting! I apologize but my life has been super busy the last few weeks. Somedays I haven't even had time for a shower... sadly more days then I would care to admit to.

 

Weight: 18.5 pounds - 8%
Length: 26.5 i think
Clothing Size: 9-12 months, 6-12 clothes
Sleep: You were in a good schedule of sleeping throughout the night but I think your 2 front teeth are hurting you so you wake up crying every few hours. You scared me for a week when you stopped taking 2 naps a day. I am not ready for that! But you are back to 2 naps a day.
I Love...: Despicable Me is still a MUST. Mostly just the minions. When the scene with the Boogie Robots comes on you start dancing. Its super cute. You have the biggest smile on your face. You have been doing this for awhile I just dont remember if I ever mentioned that. You LOVE walking! You get so excited when you do it, if it is a really far distance once you get there you squeal and clap your hands. Its super cute!
I Hate...: Food. If it is not purred you throw it up. It is super frustrating. We have an OT appointment in December because you should be eating normal food. We have tried everything but if it has a texture you throw up.
Other facts: You love chompers, Grandma Corbett's Dog... but he doesn't love you. You chase him around and he barks at you and runs away. You seem to enjoy making him bark. You are still a HUGE flirt with waitresses. The other day we caught you holding one of their hands while she was taking our order. You flashed your beautiful smile at her anytime she walked by.  
Firsts: We went to a pumpkin patch, you didn't really love it, but you did seem to enjoy the dirt. YOU STARTED WALKING!! The most steps you had taken without falling was about 3 steps, but it seemed on your birthday that you knew it was a big day because from the 25th of the month on you walk EVERYWHERE!! You also can wave and say 'bye'. Love it!

My Mom, Haylie and I have decided to do daily prompts. Ok maybe not EVERY day, but it will at least get us to write more. Today's prompt is What is your Favorite Rainy Day Movie.

This did take a few minutes to think of because the only movie I watch these days is Despicable Me. Q LOVES the minions so if i put it on I have bought myself at least 20 minutes before he losses interest.

Despicable Me on Dads phone

But if I was all alone on a rainy day and could watch anything I wanted without being interrupted, sigh that sounds so wonderful! I think I would go with Pride and Prejudice, the new movie. I could watch that multiple times a day. I love the soundtrack and everyone in the movie. I used to watch it at work- when it was SUPER busy and I was getting overwhelmed. My boss did the same thing- She would watch it on her computer. It was one of the signs that she was stressed, so I felt watching it on my phone was ok :)

If I had Pride and Prejudice, a hot chocolate and some popcorn it would be a perfect rainy day. Also maybe a nap and a good book.
