Mom 101. My Quinn


My Quinn

I always tell you stories about Brandon Jr. not because I don't have any about Quinn.  He is only 1 and I may think its the cutest thing in the world when he does something, but sadly I don't think him making bubbles with his spit will entertain others :)

With that said I feel the need to share a Quinn story today.  

Quinn has a huge heart his only goal in life right now is to be with his mom (ME) as much as possible.  
For the last 6 months I have woken up to the sounds of, 
"Mum, mum, mum, mum!"  As he stands in his crib and reaches for my bed.  When this started to fail, because some days I didn't get up fast enough, Quinn thought throwing toys at me would be the best course of action.... 
After a toy to the head I removed all the toys from his sleeping area.

    We co-slept with my first son and it was really hard to get him out of our bed.  So I did not want to do this with Quinn!
  Little did I know I had no choice, for the past 3 days I have woken up with him in my bed.  At first I thought my hubby was putting him there when he left for work, but then this morning I woke up to a scuffling sound..  And in pure horror witnessed my 1 year old getting his leg up over his crib side and getting out!!

So from this point on I'm just going to let him co-sleep with me out of fear he is going to get hurt is his desperate attempt to be with his mum.

All he wanted was to be with his mum, when I put him in my bed he looked at me with the biggest smile and said "mum!"

I love you Quinn :)
