Quincy is 1!!

     Quincy boy turned 1 last week!!  We celebrated his birthday in Texas with his Ellis grandparents, which was so fun.  The drive was 21 hours and went much, much better than expected.  Quincy only cried for a few minutes when he got thirsty.

  If you look at the above picture, you will see that Quincy is ripping the birthday crown off. Stinker!

Grandpa Rick picked out the most awesome, rainbow cake.  Fun to smash!  Q was a big fan of the ice cream.

  And...a sad attempt at a photo with the grandparents.

On our way back from Texas, we decided that we would stop to see my big sister Meg and her family in Arizona.  We got there much much earlier than expected and were able to have birthday cream puffs (the Hulihan tradition) made especially for Q by Megan, who did a much better job than I could have done!

Not so sure about this...

Better!

    Although our trip back was smooth, too, I think Quincy got addicted to falling asleep by the car motion.  Or else he is moving down to one nap a day (eeek!).  Anyways, he is just so happy to be out of his car seat and crusing around in his new shoes now!

  We sure love having Quincy in our family--he keeps all of us on our toes and is a wiggleworm but still a great cuddler!
