Happy 1st Birthday QB!


Baby girl, a year ago you joined the family - making us officially The Barton 4. At that time we had no idea what was in store for our family, and we still have trouble predicting your next move. All went well that day a year ago, no complications or difficulty (and thanks to the epidural, not much pain). We took you home from the hospital with little pomp or circumstance, just complete joy.
It wasn't all that easy those first 3 months - dairy intolerance, acid reflux, etc. made it difficult for you to be happy and content. But, girl are you a completely different kiddo now.
You are a happy and joyful child that has quickly become the queen of the land. Your father and I completely adore you, but no one loves you like your devoted big brother Connor. From day one he has doted on you, granted it is sometimes a bit too much love. But always from a place of excitement, joy and delight.
You have completed our family in a way that I couldn't have imagined. You make us laugh with your silly giggle and your wild ways. We are a bit frightened, but so excited to watch you become this little person from such a beautiful baby. Happy First Birthday Quinn.

I love that Quinn looks so happy in the photo you posted today. Who wouldn't be happy with 3 pacifiers on hand? A girl must have options in the accessory dept. Happy Birthday Quinn!

Is one enough . . . three too many?Quinn is a woman who thinks more is, well, more. Happy birthday, honey lamb -- your grandma loves you. And on those days when no one else does, I still will.
