Quinn’s 1st Christmas! It’s definitely more exciting for us than it is for him but I know he’s enjoying all of the loving he’s getting from the Pudloski family and friends.

Quinn opened his stocking this morning (with a little help from Dad.)

He checked out the toys inside.

He chewed on them..

…and decided they were fun!

Hope you and your family have a Christmas filled with peace, joy and love. We are certainly enjoying ours- we got the best present of all this year!

Quinn met Santa today! He wasn’t too excited about it but he did give some smiles…mainly because I was standing next to the camera doing all sorts of goofy moves that I would have never done in public pre-Quinn. However silly I looked it made Quinn happy and that is really all that matters. Santa, however, does not look very amused. Isn’t he supposed to be jolly?

No new pictures this weekend…Quinn was a little under the weather. He got the stomach flu that I had earlier in the week and the poor guy just can’t shake it. With all of the diaper changes and laundry we’ve been doing, there’s been no time for any photo shoots. Luckily he has been in a pretty good mood, just a little sleepier than usual. So we’ve had a lazy weekend- Ryan and Quinn hung out most of the day yesterday while I went Christmas shopping. Quinn seems to be better this morning (aka not as many diaper and clothing changes!) so maybe we’ll get some holiday pictures in yet!

Quinn has had 2 professional photo shoots in the past 2 weeks. We were only planning on one but he decided to wear his crankypants to the first one, rather than the cute outfit we picked out for him. As a result, he had retakes. Here are some shots.

Due to popular demand, here are a bunch of pictures from the past month that would have been posted on Quinn’s website if I knew how. I know, you’ll be missing out on Ryan’s witty and sometimes not-so-appropriate comments, but that’s the sacrifice for getting more frequent photo updates.

the shirt pretty much sums it up

To chronicle Quinn’s growth, I take his picture at every month mark. This one started out good but went downhill from there. You’d think I would stop taking pictures to help the poor boy out!

Blue steel.

Quinn showing off his band-aids from his 2 month shots. Quinn cried…so did mom.

Seriously Mom, are we done yet?

It’s hard work lifting this big head!

Quinn loves a nice soak in the tub.

About to take a nap…Dad’s jealous.

Quinn sporting his cold weather gear. The hat used to have a ball on the top but guess who took it off?!?

Ready for Santa.

Quinn’s new best friends. He likes to eat them.

Quinn rolled over for the first time last night! He seemed surprised that he ended up on his back and started crying each time he rolled…or maybe it was my giant shrieks of excitement that made him cry.

To get in the holiday spirit, Quinn donned some Christmas attire.   

Quinn is a very impressive 3 month old.  He already has a website and a blog dedicated to him.  But what really puts him above and beyond other babies is that he even has his own email address!  Proof that he really is the son of a geek.  This new blog was actually my idea.  It stemmed from me not being computer literate enough to update Quinn’s website that Ryan made and Ryan getting tired of me nagging him to update it.  So even though this blog isn’t quite as cool as the website, it allows me to post new pictures a little more frequently than once every month or two.  And that is important for this proud mama!  So check back often as I’m planning on updating with new pics several times a week.
