Another great leap forward

Another visit from nana and grampy, another Great Leap Forward for Quinn. He seemed like a whole different kid by the time they left. He has become even more socially interactive, laughing and smiling at things people do, bringing books to be read, giggling at the books, responding to tickles and being chased. He has become fully mobile too, walking on his own, going "under the bridge" of propped up legs when people are sitting and popping back up onto his feet on the other side. He clearly understands so many words now, although he doesn't speak much yet - I think his ability to communicate effectively without words may mean that comes a little more slowly. I'm trying not to worry about it. His disposition has really become much more sunny too - he smiles and laughs a whole lot more, and gives visible and audible reactions to so many things now.

The advent of spring weather has improved things too. He and Bec spend A Lot Of Time Outside now, at the park, at the river, and biking / walking / jogging everywhere with Quinn in the chariot. All the exercise and fresh air is making for better sleeps - after a recent sleep training effort, which was much easier I think probably due to the previous efforts and the fact that he was just more ready for it now, he goes to sleep easily on his own, and stays asleep until early morning. The last two nights in a row he's actually slept in to a reasonable hour! Could we have turned a corner? Here's hoping!
