Super Fun! Mommy made Jackson a ballpit out of an inflatable gym. We set it up in the backyard and he loves diving into it. That's 325 balls in there!
Quin gets comfy on Daddy while taking a much needed nap.
Quin enjoyed chilling out with Uncle Mark this weekend. Look how relaxed he is!
Jackson got his very first haircut on Saturday! He was so good and sat very still with nary a complaint. It helped that they had fun toys to keep him occupied, though he did occasionally check out what was going on in the mirror.
And here's the handsome boy with his new haircut. He's not a baby anymore!
Isn't he the cutest darn kid? He says "thank you," or rather, "take oo" now - so adorable!

Cutie Pie. Quin often enjoys lying on his back on the floor. He looks at everything, especially his brother.
Jackson likes to get very close to Quin's face to say "Hi!"
He looks into Quin's eyes and asks in a soft, high-pitched voice, "What's thaaat? What's that?"
He likes to hold Quin's hand, pat his head and give him hugs.
Quin seems interested in his brother and gives him big smiles.
Unfortunately, he doesn't yet appreciate Jack's willingness to share. Apparently Jack thought Quin was hungry and needed to make a call. What a good big brother!

Growing and growing...

Quin seems to get bigger every day. He's started to lose his hair and looks a bit like a little old man. He seems to be more aware of his surroundings, noticing Jack's movements and following the sound of a bell with his head.
Quin got some quality time with Grammy Bonnie a couple of weeks ago. It was great to have her help for a whole week!
Quin recently had his first visit to Scituate to meet Grampy, Aunt Joey and cousins Heather, Phil and Xandra.Jack got in some snuggle time with Grampy too.
Whenever Grandma comes for a visit, Quin sleeps cozily in her arms.
Jackson loves to hold his little brother. He wraps his arm around him and gives gentle kisses.
Quin's neck is very strong, though he doesn't really have control of it yet. But he got a good look at Daddy on this night.
Thanks to Pop, Jackson got a new sandbox and climber.
The climber even has a steering wheel!
Jack loves his new things and Mommy is grateful to have things in the yard to keep Jackson busy!

p.s. - the sweater Jack's wearing was knit for Kira by Nana many, many years ago!
