This Video Captures "You" Perfectly!

Quinn, I adore this video of you! I took it about a week before you turned 16 months, so it is already 6 weeks old. You have already changed so much since then. Anyhow, I love this because it captures your delightful personality that I get to enjoy each day as I stay home with you. If you look at the background, it also captures the typical messes you make right now, since you are in to everything! You are an explorer and an experimenter. In the film, you are so bright and smart when announcing that you are stepping up and down. And listen for when you say "again" in your cute little way. You say again and ask Mommy to repeat affirming statements that you like. It is priceless. Also, when you fall, you shake your finger at the step as if to scold it for tripping you. It is so endearing! You learned to shake your finger many months ago when the dogs would bark and scare you. You would scold them and say, "Hush!" But your finger wagging then was directed towards anything that scared you (the vacuum, for instance) or tripped you up. Now that you are over 17 months, you are not shaking your finger at things much any more. You have seemed to move on to other ways of expressing yourself. I am so glad that I captured this on film. I want to keep this image in my heart forever. You are such a happy girl and I love spending my days with you.
