Who's Who?!
Keilana (Buddha baby)
Kayden (the blue pj's give it away)
Jon's Dad did this "trick" with all the kids (5) and Jon is passing it down by doing it with our kids. There is a small window of opportunity to perform this balancing act. Catch them too young and their legs aren't strong enough and they buckle at the knees; catch them too old and they become cautious and more fearful, still buckling at the knees. Keilana LOVED doing this and she was so darn good at it! You can tell in her picture that she is very comfortable being up there. She would stay up there as long as Jon could hold her but as you can see she was a chunky butt and got heavy quickly! I think Jon almost forgot to do it with Kayden because he was 7 months when he first did it. Kayden would get so excited and wouldn't stay up there long. He tried to do it again not too long after that picture and Kayden wouldn't do it anymore. I believe that Keilana was at the end of her 5th month when Jon started with her but everything is so new and exciting with the first--I remember him being anxious, waiting for her to be ready to perform the special Quan balancing act!

**Jon has corrected me and stated that we started this with Kayden around 6-6 1/2 months. I just didn't get a picture of it until 7 months. Whoops! Okay, so I don't remember EVERYTHING!

Hey my dad did that with that us too. Those are such cute pics of the kids. They really do look a lot alike.
Oh those chunky little legs of Keilana's...just wanna eat em' up!!
Vanessa, those pictures are ADORABLE!! I hope you have them framed or something. Both of them are precious!
I remember when Jon did this with the kids... I love when they were small enough for that:) Too sweet! Hey I'm having a scentsy party in August so if you didn't get a chance to make it to Cheryls, I'll let you know when mine is.
Okay, so maybe more people did this to their kids than I thought! I didn't know it was such a popular thing, I was just thinking the Quans were SpEcIaL.
I think we've tried the balancing act a little too late. The kids are always scared. We'll try it earlier this time around:)
The fun things daddy's can do! And I like your new background too.
Yeah well I bet they got the balancing act from my dad ;)
Everyone that I have mentioned it to has always freaked of the idea. ANyway, those are awesome pictures. Lana really does look calm and at the same time loving it! THanks nessa!
