Grandma and Granddaddy Bell’s First Visit

Posted by Stuart on 03/07 at 07:26 PM imageimageimageimageimageimage

This week was another week of firsts for little Quentin.  He had his first visit from his Grandma and Granddaddy Bell, his first real bath, his first adult dinner party, and his first walk with his dads in his Baby Bjorn.

His grandparents on the Bell side, Warren and Dulcenia, arrived on Monday and stayed until Friday.  They were a huge help to us and kept their first grandchild busy.  I think that it is safe to say that Quentin might be very spoiled if they have their way--which we are just fine with.  We can’t wait until Quentin can go and spend time with them in Virginia.  We were joking that he could help his granddaddy mow the yard and could go shopping and to water aerobics with his Grandma at the Y. 

We got an e-mail from the proud grandparents today after their return home:

Dear Allen and Stuart

It was pure joy when we saw Quentin for the first time.  He is a very sweet baby.  We are so thrilled and happy that he is a part of our lives.  He is truly a blessing to our family.  We wish him good health, happiness, and love all of his life.

God’s Blessings to you and baby Quentin
The proud grandparents

We think Quentin is very blessed to have such wonderful grandparents in his life! 

Quentin attended his first adult dinner party at our house this week.  My adopted California family (Gary, Irma, Joy, Paul, and Lauren) came over to celebrate with Allen’s parents.  Gary made the most amazing dinner and we all ate too much, talked too much, and enjoyed little Quentin way too much.  Joy fed Quentin and we now are not sure who loves Q more--cousin Joy or her daughter, cousin Lauren.  At the dinner party, Uncle Gary gave Quentin the most amazing custom designed hand-made quilt.  It has a “bear” theme and Quentin loves it.

Quentin also had his first real bath this week.  You can see that he actually likes the water which is wonderful!  We also had a pediatrician visit this week (his 2-week check up) and he is perfect.  In fact, the pediatrician said he is one of the most perfect babies she has ever seen---do you think she says that to every parent??? 

Finally, we went for a walk today using his “Bjorn” baby carrier.  I felt like quite the sporty dad in this contraption.  It actually makes walking with him very easy and Quentin slept the entire time.  We were hoping he would stay awake but no such luck! 

Well, that’s it for now.  Allen’s sister and cousin arrive this week.  Lots of visitors and Quentin loves all of them!
