The only thing that I can see is that you need to move the in-text citation itself to before the period of each example. A general rule for paragraph numbers for sources with no page numbers is that they can excluded (replaced with n.p. [no page] if there are no page numbers) unless your instructor specifically requires it. I did a lot of paragraph counting in vain for a paper last year. My instructor applauded my effort but informed me it wasn't necessary. I now always check with the instructor before proceeding.

And, as Iowa_Flames_Fan suggested, work that direct quote into a fluid statement within your paper.

Here are a few sources I use to get citations just right (apart from consulting my college library):

MLA Citation guide: http://rdc.libguides.com/mla
APA Citation guide: http://rdc.libguides.com/apa
Chicago Style guide: http://rdc.libguides.com/chicago16

And the Owl at Purdue (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/) is always a good source of information on writing.
