The Quist Family: January 2010

Baptism

Andie had a wonderful baptism. She did great during the service! She was awake the whole time and didn't say a peep. She wore Jen's baptismal gown. It was soo beautiful!

Amy and Anthony are her godparents

This is Daniel and his buddy William. They have swimming at the same place (William swims right before Daniel). They also go to the same day care. It's so cute to see him talking to another. It's like he's a little person

Nate the Fisherman

There was no shortage of fun on Nate's annual ice fishing trip this year. I can't explain all of the pictures nor the reason behind the pictures, but here's a sampling!

Andie's 3 months already!

Here's a pic of our cutie pie. This was a very big smile :) She's doing great. She's a really great baby. She sleeps between 5 and 6 hours at night for the first stretch, then eats and goes back to sleep. She loves to follow Daniel around and watch the tv. She smiles all of the time and is getting really strong. Time has went by soo fast. My heart melts every time she smiles at me. It's such an amazing feeling. She's also VERY ticklish. Dad knows how to get it out of her.

Swimming and Fishing

It's that time of year again...swimming lessons! Daniel LOVES the water this time around. It must have helped to go to Uncle John's and swim a couple times last summer. We decided to go to the Foss Swim School instead of the community pool like last year. The water is warm here! The teachers are great too. We're really happy and we've only had one lesson!

Here's a couple of videos of the boys having fun:

Last night we played the Go Fishing game that Daniel loves. We propped Andie up and gave her a pole. She tried to put it in her mouth, but doesn't quite have the coordination for it :)

Extended Family visit

We had a great drive to southern MN to see Nate's extended family. The portable DVD player sure works wonders :) Here's Daniel playing with Landon. (Nate's cousin Billy's boy) It sure was good to see everyone we were able to last weekend.

What handome men

With Great Grandma Q.

We went to Great Grandma H's house to see her too. She didn't have any boy toys, so Aunt Sue went to get him some. (That was sooo nice Sue. Thanks again!) Here's Daniel playing with a car, but saying he wants to play with other toys.

Underwater World

Nate had some vacation to burn, so we took advantage of that and went to Underwater World with Grammy Q. Daniel loved it so much that we went through twice! Thanks for spending the day with us Grammy! (Oh yeah, Andrea was soo stimulated from the day, she slept through the night!)

Touching Sea Stars

Daniel's favorite animal was the sting ray. Here's a cute video where he says he's not scared of it :)

Santa Came!

Here are some pics of Daniel with his gifts from us and Santa.

Daniel's favorite gift of the season.

Here's Daniel as we came home after the Quists. He can't believe Santa came. He keeps looking at the plate to see where the cookie is. It was super cute!

Christmas with the Quist's

We were supposed to drive to the Quist extended family for Christmas but with the weather, we stayed home. We had a great time with all of Nate's sisters and their families. (Santa even brought the kids a WII!!!)

Daniel got lots of great stuff again. He loves to play with all of his new stuff.

Even Brooklyn's new stuff :)

Nate's favorite present of the season. (Thanks a lot Mike)

Picture time!

What an exhausting weekend :)

Christmas with the Fedie's

We celebrated Christmas with Jen's side a weekend early. It was nice to have the whole weekend to be with each other. Here's the beautiful family.

Daniel got lots of very nice things-one including this sleeping bag and flashlight.

Thank you all for being soo generous!

But, here's the best thing of the whole weeken. Jen's brother John with Will and Daniel bouncing on his knee. Will and Daniel are going to be best buds one day, they play so well together already.
