4 years already!

Can you believe that it's been 4 years since my little baby was born? Time has flown by so fast. He's getting so big! 43 inches tall and 48 pounds. He's enjoyed preschool and making some new friends. He is still completely fixated on Bumblebee and Transformers....of course. He has been such a joy in our lives and I couldn't imagine life without him. He's the sweetest, most tender little boy that I know. Quentin is always looking out for other kids and wants to be a good friend to everyone....even Jayden whom he lets lick all over his face. LOL
On his birthday he came into our bedroom at about 7:00 a.m. to wake us up. He'd completely forgotten that it was his birthday and when James and I said Happy Birthday he said "Thanks Mom and Dad, you're the best Mom and Dad ever!" We all got out of bed and let him open one of his gifts, saving the rest for his birthday party on Saturday. You can tell from the picture that he was still a little out of it and trying to wake up.

That night Quentin and I sat down on the living room floor in our pajamas and had oreo cookies and milk. I let him stay up a little later and enjoy some mommy time. He kept asking "Where's my birthday at?" I tried to explain that it's the entire day, it's celebrating the day he was born. But he wasn't satisfied, I think he thought that a birthday is something that you can see, like when the snow falls. He's silly.
Grandpa Jim made Quentin a great cake! He absolutely loved it. As soon as he saw that we put it out on the table (while he was swimming), James couldn't get him out of the swimming pool fast enough! And you know how much Quentin loves to swim..... Thanks Grandpa Jim!!!



Thanks to everyone for all the love and support and for the great gifts. I know that Quentin felt so much love from all of you. He just ate it all up!
