Quinn & Jerry

Quinn has suddenly taken a liking to Neal's Jerry Garcia doll. I hope this doesn't mean I'll be forced to listen to more free formin' music. Here are some cute photos of the 2 of them. Neal will be happy when he gets home.

Baby Martyniak's Blog Debut

Baby M2 was not too cooperative during the 20 week ultrasound. This is the best picture the tech. could get of him/her.

Go Red Sox!

Quinn has entered that wonderful realm of the "I do it" ... I'm asserting my independence phase. This has begun to creep into our once smooth getting dressed routine. He now refuses to wear almost everything I choose except anything with the red sox or baseball. So go Red Sox!

Future Underwear Model

Potty training has begun with mixed success. Quinn is all about the "big boy" underwear. He is modeling in his Diegos. Later in the day he stated "Diego is sad" after he pee'd in them.

Flower Child

Quinn has discovered dandelions and loves to pick them .... all of them! He gave me one and I put it behind my ear. So now he has to put them behind his ears all the time. My flower child is so cute.

Hamura City Zoo II

The other part of the zoo that Quinn likes is the play area with all of the rides (that's where you drop a chunk of change before you know it). And the last picture is him eating his udon noodles. Quinn loves Japanese food.

Hamura City Zoo

Neal is gone again so Quinn and I went to the Hamura Zoo. It's a short 15 minute drive from home and is a cheap day out ($3.00). The animals look fairly healthy but their habitats leave a bit to be desired in this progressive age. Quinn had a blast at all the petting areas and feeding sites. When you first enter the zoo, they have a building were the kids can hold (in their hands or in boxes) guinea pigs, baby chicks and mice. He held them all! He preferred the boxes most of the time. Plus you can buy food to feed other animals throughout the zoo. He fed pigs, goats, a big tortoise, ducks & geese and penguins.
