Naptime with my pal, Grover

The days of a crib are over!

On Monday, I realized I could climb (or fall) out of my crib. Mom and Dad seemed really surprised, but not as surprised as I was! So for a few days, I slept with my mattress on the floor. But that didn't really work out so well. No one got a lot of sleep.

Then Dad put together my NEW BED. Somehow it looks a lot like my old crib, but much cooler. Did I mention that I can climb in and out myself? And so far at least, everyone is pleased with how it's working out.

Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Harmonicas + Toddlers = Hilarious Fun

Thanks, Fletcher, for the fabulous harmonicas! Hey, we're actually pretty good.

I'm not sure why Dad said that all the Rodeo parents are now millionaires though.

Happy Thanksgiving

Yesterday was a great day. Mom and Dad decided not to go to work, I'm not sure why, and hang out with me all day. It was a beautiful, unseasonably warm day, and I had a new bike to try out. I think the Thanksgiving birthday bunny came or something. So, we went down to Butler Park - nothing but grass, walkways, and a fountain.

Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, this is cool!

Happy Halloween - scarecrow style

From a scarecrow's point of view, it was a very successful Halloween weekend.

The Oz crew together at Fletcher's Second Annual Howl-O-Ween party.

Yes, mom had to also steal Valerie's pics, since hers did not come out. Note flying monkey nibbling my toes.
Uh oh, I think Fletcher may have landed on a witch.

The whole family in the Halloween spirit.

Halloween night at the neighborhood party, gearing up for this so-called "trick-or-treating".

This really makes for a much scarier scarecrow, don't cha think?

Spidey, have you been working out?




Trick or Treat!!!


Home with the bounty.

Oooohhhh, what happened? I think I have a candy hangover.

Great photo with Woode Wood!

Woode sent along this picture this morning - it's from his photo shoot for Rare Magazine. The next issue will feature an article on him, and we happened to drop by on a Saturday morning when the photo shoot was happening! I don't think that means we'll appear in the magazine, but you never know...

Halloween dry run

This weekend at the toddler rodeo, my buddies and I had a dry run of our Halloween costumes. Can you guess our theme?

Aidan was carrying an awesome axe, Zoe had a cute little dog named Toto, and Fletcher and I were carrying... cars of course!

Remember, let's never look at the camera all at once!

Now does anyone know how to get to that yellow brick road?

I think I see some flying monkeys up there.

E-I-E-I-O!

It's finally Fall!

Well, it's fall in Austin, and you know what that means. Nice weather and... new dishwashers! Yes, mom and dad finally got a new dishwasher and dad installed it himself. You find that hard to believe? No way, my dad is super handy. Check out this cool house he made me out of the dishwasher box.

Mom, just keep bringing the food and drink here, because I'm never leaving this spot.

Ah, now to get a little more comfortable...this is more like it.

Now just a little music and we're all set.

Modeling my new Woode Wood t-shirt for the back to school catalog.

This is my serious look.

Ha HA! I'm in the bucket.

Evening stroll in my neighbor Erica's car...

Finally, morning fun outside in my pajamas...

Like father, like son

You can really tell how much I look like dad, especially with my yogurt "goatee".

Funniest birthday party moments... according to mom

Quinn tries on his "birthday suit" in preparation for the big party.

Karaoke was in the air!

No one was immune to karaoke's call.

What in the world are Dallas and Mike talking about? No one knows.
Turn your head and cough?

Quinn crawls through the tunnel with a muffin in hand.
Now those are some life skills!

Deuces Wild!
The fab four... not sure what to make of all these "2"s,
but amazingly, all sitting together.

Aaron and Zoe's Pearl Jam duet.

Dad's karaoke: "Pop goes the weasel". The video is also funny. And sad.

Balloon bliss.

Confused and tired toddlers want their balloons back.

2 year stats

Dad took me to the doctor's on my birthday. I thought the nice doctor was going to give me a present, but instead I got a shot, a bright light in the eye, and a poke in the ear. Boo for doctors!

It's amazing how my stats are eerily familiar...

• Height: 36" (90th)
• Weight: 32 lbs, 9 oz (90th)
• Head: 51cm (95th)

Although I've gained on height - guess those Kart genes are kicking in. Thanks, Grandpa!

New guitar

Thanks Papa for the really awesome Quinn-sized guitar! I'd like to dedicate my first song to you...



Ukulele, guitar, it's all the same to a 2 year old.

2 years old!

Happy birthday! How fast the time goes...

ain't I cute?

one year ago on my birthday - not even walking yet!

School update

I've had about 2 weeks now of being at school full time. The days are pretty long, and I come home totally wiped out. And filthy. I go through my 2 backup outfits daily. And my extra shoes (given all the mud lately!)

Today I came home in shorts and my galoshes. Yesterday, I came home covered in glitter and to mom's surprise, a tattoo.

Does this butterfly make me look tough? Go ahead, try to knock it off...

No, your computer screen is not dirty, that is glitter stuck to my face. During our after school project, I thought it would be fun to dump glitter on my head. It was. That place is all glitter and butterflies and unicorns over there.

I really like school! The only big adjustment is catching up on sleep, since now I only nap an hour or so (compared to my typical 2.5-3 hours before). So tonight for the first time, I was in bed asleep by 7:30!

Do not let your child watch this train video

The other day, I wanted mom to show me the train video of me and Woode and the Zilker Zephyr on her phone. Well, for some reason her phone was not around, and so she searched on you tube for a train video, and found the MOST AWESOME TRAIN VIDEO OF ALL TIME. Here it is:



Now, I must watch it 50 times per day. At first, I cried when mom and dad said no more, but now I think I got them by looking really cute and saying "just one more time please." I'm not sure what she means, but mom says "parents be warned!"

Mount Ty

Your Grandson, The Comedian

For the grandparents. Below are actual conversations Quinn's parents had with him this weekend:

Uncle Mark & Cuzzie

Just when I thought that people were big...

My Cuzzie. What a cutie!

I forget what I was doing here, but Uncle Mark thought it was funny!

Blue Steel x 2!

What is this 'Sporcle'?

Oooooh, hand it over here. I got one!

Lisa was really nice! She likes to read, too.

I'm staying on the floor until they come back.
