I Can't Believe It's Been This Long!

I can't believe it has been over 3 months since I updated this thing! Quinton is now 19 months old and a handful! He is really starting to test his boundaries to see what he can get away with. This includes, but is not limited to, hitting, biting, pinching, etc! He is learning new words and signs everyday and constantly amazes us with the new wods he says. Just today he told my mom, "Go George Bush" when she was asking me whether she should take I75 or the George Bush Tollway. The words came out very clearly!
Thursday we received a record breaking 12.5 inches of snow in DFW. We took Quinton out to play thinking he would love the stuff. Boy were we wrong! HE HATES THE SNOW! Any time Gabe or I would put him down to stand in it, he would scream and cry until we picked him up. We tried to get him to throw snowballs, but he wanted nothing to do with that either. I brought some snow into the house from off my car in a bowl thinking that maybe he was just overwhelmed by the amount of snow outside. Wrong again! He backed away from the bowl shaking his head and saying, "NO, NO, NO, NO!" I shouldn't be surprised. This is the same child who, when he plays outside, tries his hardest not to end up on the ground. If he does fall, he will sit there, holding his hands up, looking around trying to figure out how to get up without actually touching the grass.
Quinton loves to read and is always bringing books to Gabe or I and crawling in our laps for us to read to him. As an English teacher and avid reader myself, I am thrilled by this!! He loves to do "big boy" things and thinks he is much bigger/older than he really is.
