Hello! Welcome to Little Loves! This is the brand-spankin’ new version of my old blog Little Baby B! Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to read my ramblings :) In turn, I will try to make things interesting by sharing all the gory details of my life along with gratuitous amounts of photos. Aren’t you lucky!
It has been well over a year since I last blogged. I remember thinking that I would keep on blogging after the baby arrived to have a record of our day-to-day lives. But once Quinn arrived, priorities changed, days flew by and here we are today. This blog will attempt to share our favorite moments of the past year while also sharing current events.
So let’s get right into it, shall we?

| The birthday girl October 9th, 2012 |
Today is no ordinary day around these parts. October 9th will always hold a special meaning for me. Not only was the sweetest little person born on this day but a mother and a father as well. The past year has been the most challenging, rewarding and unforgettable year of my life and I have no doubt that every year to come will be even more challenging, rewarding and unforgettable.
It seems unbelievable that one year ago today, my entire life changed when little Miss Quinn Marlowe Baldwin made her way out of my belly and into my arms. At this time one year ago I was fully dilated and had just gotten my sweet, sweet relief (aka epidural). I had already been in labour for over ten hours and was only a few hours away from meeting my little baby girl.

Quinn. How do I even begin to describe this little person? We honestly still can’t believe our luck. She was the most relaxed, contented, easy-going baby. She hardly ever cried, breastfed like a champ, slept through the night at three months, met most of her milestones right on time and has had her Dad and I wrapped around her little finger from day one. I remember parents telling us how wonderful having children was, yada yada, but we now completely understand what they were talking about. You get to see the world from an entirely new perspective. You get to relive the innocence that is childhood. What better gift is that?
When Quinn wakes up in the morning she stands up in her crib and points to everything in her room. She wants to know it all. From the dust bunny rolling across the floor to the bird flying by the in sky – it is all worthy of inspection. When we leave daycare she always points to the flowers in the garden and god-forbid if we don’t stop to take a look. She takes the saying ‘stop and smell the roses’ to a whole new level and I love it. I hope she never loses that desire to learn and explore.
Right when Quinn was laid on my chest after she was born, I asked my doula Victoria how much she weighed. They hadn’t yet weighed her, so Victoria’s answer to me was, “she’s perfect for you”. Quinn may not be the world’s most perfect baby, she’s had her moments of brattiness, but she is without a doubt absolutely perfect to me.
I could keep going on all day so I think I’ll leave it there for today.
Thanks for reading.
