Family Tree: Comments

Sir Quentin

Quentin is our 4-year-old dinosaur boy. He often walks around with T-Rex arms most of the day and roars in response to questions you may ask. Dino toys are strategically placed about the house and Mommy is quizzed each day with dinosaur flashcards. He also doesn't stay in his bed all night (sleeps on the floor by Mommy), wakes up super early, started preschool and LOVES it, is very affectionate both physically and verbally, can change his mood very quickly, and doesn't like to be called anything but by his own name (Tin is acceptable).

Baby Celia

Celia, lovingly nicknamed "Baby," is almost 2 and is a curious mix of her older 3 brothers and sister! She's feisty and dramatic like Stella, super sweet and tender-hearted like Malcolm, and fearless and adventurous like Quentin. And yet she's her own little person and makes us laugh on the daily! She gets into things and makes a mess everywhere, but she'll love, hug, and comfort you like she's your perfect therapy. She loves Moana, dancing, helping, climbing, jumping, hugging, telling secrets on your cheek (not in your ear), and she sure loves her Daddy. She doesn't like going to bed, her car seat, or sitting in her high chair for one second longer than she's done with her food. She also LOVES babies, which is good because she'll be a big sister very soon!
