For Quinn’s 3 month pictures, I had a very cute and opinionated photography assistant to help me out. This assistant also made it into a few pics herself. Her go-to tricks to get Quinn to smile: 1) talking in a really high voice 2) attempting to make raspberries but really just spitting at her 3) making funny faces. Of all the photos, one of my favorites is the one where Quinn fell over from her perch. These girls are just too cute. And I just love how these pictures capture Quinn’s love affair with her hands. She’s always holding them like a sophisticated little lady.

It’s only been 3 months and 17 days that we’ve known Quinn but  we can already tell she’s a very happy soul. Now that she can smile, she does so at the sound of our voices, the sight of our smiles and even the dog. She basically smiles all the time. And now she’s even cooing. And yesterday I heard the first traces of a giggle. As I enter my last month of maternity leave, she reminds me to cherish this time with my girls. Tear. They grow up so fast. 

This is what I found when Lilla called me into the room to tell me she had a surprise for me. The expression on Quinn’s face says it all.

Everyone asks how it is with two kids. The truth is, Quinn is the easiest of the two. Lilla has been our little stinker as of late. She’s a great big sister to Quinn. However with the arrival of her little sister has also come the arrival of a little (rather big) thing called the temper tantrum. And man is she a master at throwing them.

During one of her recent dramatic fits–I think she threw herself on the floor sobbing because we gave her the wrong cereal–I left the room only to find her sweet 6-week old sister sleeping like this. Mocking her older sister in her sleep. You can’t make this stuff up.

Our newest addition makes the cutest little noises. She squeaks and grunts and squeaks some more. She is just the sweetest little baby. And I’m trying to take mental pictures/videos of all of her little sweet noises. Figured posting here would also help with that.
