Quinn, happy guy

We took Quinn swimming for the second time today. He smiled a little more, but really he's having a hard time noticing anything but the ceiling fans. It's really quite remarkable the predilection he has for them. We went straight from swimming to see Bec's mom, and then on to the Carleton Place hospital to visit Bec's dad. It's official - he's had a minor heart attack. He looked and sounded great today though, like his old self. He's off to the Ottawa Heart Institute on Monday and hopefully things will be rectified in short order.

We didn't take Quinn in to the hospital, much as Quinn and Grampa wanted to see one another. Bec & I traded off visiting and hanging out outside with Quinn, and when we visited a second time I hung out on the front lawn with Quinn while Bec went in. Quinn just LOVED sitting on the grass, standing on the grass, running his hands through it. He's improving at sitting up but still tends to tip over some. He's also improving at bearing weight on his chubby little legs.

Quinn had a lot of smiles and laughs today. He really seems to have a happy disposition, which I am quite glad to see. He went to sleep pretty easily tonight, and didn't require any interventions throughout the evening for the second night in a row and fourth out of five. Almost six months old! Hard to believe...
