Oh man, September is fast approaching. We're trying to get our last projects done and some adventures with friends in before the Summer freedom is over. Also, our oven and garage door broke. Fun times.

Jonathan was gone for work this week so Quinn, Shinobi, and I headed to Eugene. We spent some time with Jonathan's parents and my parents, and also my sister and her husband. It was a nice little getaway with many hands to help. Quinn went to her first baseball game. She enjoyed yelling at whoever was up to bat and laughing at the mascot. We were pretty close to the field and he spotted her and played peekaboo with her.

We went to a neighborhood potluck tonight. There are two other children close to Quinn's age in our neighborhood. At the dinner table she kept forcing out loud laughs while looking at them. I think that's how she tries to start friendships. 

Quinn has six teeth now, two more on the top. These teeth didn't bother her nearly as much as the other four. Just a little extra drool, extra cuddles, and a bit of whining for a few days. Easy peasy. I got a funnel for $1 at Target and she loves playing with it in the tub and out. A Silly Hat Song may have been invented for moments when Quinn or other family members wear the funnel on their head. She continues to amaze me with her fine motor precision and jabbering at people, animals, and toys. She tried falafel this week and liked it. She's eating three solid food meals a day and has reduced her nursing down to three times a day. She's getting more sturdy on her feet every day. I can't believe she is almost 11 months old!

Here she is laughing at her daddy and practicing standing. We sure missed him!
