laughter and lightning (mcqueen)

 first of all, quinn has discovered her laugh, and it sounds like this?

she has been using her "big girl voice" a lot since discovering her laugh, particularly at bedtime. sistah can be feisty!  who knew? sistah also stopped sleeping through the night. sistah now gets up four times to eat. a sistah gets hungry!

 

   

our first northfield fourth of july was everything i remember and everything it should be, except that daddy was away at a wedding on cape cod and we missed him terribly.  we watched the bike parade and sat in a fire truck and cheered on the races and ate charred hamburgers and one of us ate an ice cream cookie.

                          

                  


the rest of our fourth of july weekend included hoses and baby pools and puppies and nap revolts and tantrums and bug bites and itches and sunscreen and sweat and sand and dancing and, most of all, lightning mcqueen.  because neither will nor mommy can function without a little lightning.
