Quin is a poser

Quin is a poser II, originally uploaded by TroySims.

Quin is taking the crown away from Kajsa for taking wonderful pics in front of the camera. He seems to have an acute understanding that when the camera is pointed at him, he needs to cheese out.

Kajsa's new look

Photo was taking after our blizzard, which dumped 10 inches of snow in the Fargo area. However... our neighbors driveway had about 2-3 feet of snow in it, and formed this beautiful pile which shades our driveway after 1pm each day.

Just wait until he gets to ride on a snowmobile.

Quin hasn't had his snowsuit on all that much this winter, but he sure has fun when he does sport it.

Too much snow!

Kajsa loves to play on top of the snow piles and throw snow back onto the driveway and sidewalk. She loves to make daddy happy by making more shoveling work for him.

Got warm enough to take the kids out. Quin was having fun... but didn't like the cool breeze slapping him in the face. He was in the house within 10 minutes.

Kajsa's Birthday

Kajsa Birthday, originally uploaded by TroySims.

Kajsa had her millionth b-day party on the 10th of December. Here's one of the pics out of the set. Should be able to click on the pic to see the set.

Kajsa X-Mas Dance Recital

Quin - 1yr Old

Quin - 1yr Old, originally uploaded by TroySims.

On the 6th of November, Quin turned 1 years old. Still isn't walking, but he's dangerously fast at crawling. He'll easily be walking before X-mas.

Batboy

Quin was a bat for Halloween. He had only 2 hours worth of naps when he otherwise should have had closer to 4. So his night ended with him going into a coma before 8pm. But at least there was no meltdown.

Kajsa was Belle for Halloween. She went to only about 4 houses before a total and complete meltdown (no naps) ended her day.

Well not quite yet, his birthday is Thursday, Nov. 6th.

Quin can climb

Monkey 3, originally uploaded by TroySims.

Quin has been climbing up on Kajsa's rocking chair and either violently rocking back and fourth until the chair falls back on him, or he uses it as a step to his next climbing adventure. Waiting for injury to occur when we aren't looking.

Quin has been fixated on helping out with the dishes, so Elise finally relented and let him get his hands dirty

200th Post! ... Quins Walking Practice

Working on getting Quin to start walking, at least by or around his 1st birthday. He's got pretty good balance already, so it's just a matter of putting it to good use.

Almost 11 months

Quin and high chair, originally uploaded by TroySims.

11 months old next week, this little guy has taken some bumps and bruises as he gets accustomed to being on his feet. I'm not sure if this dude will be walking by the time he hits the big 1, but he's lately been pretty quick to learn new tricks, so who knows.

Flickr

I guess I'm going to blog from my Flickr account from now on. There may be some tweaks to this pages template to accomodate the size of the pics I want to publish.

If you are the type that hates to read, you can just visit my flickr photostream and view the plethora of pics I hope to upload.
