8 Months, 1 Week
Wow. This past month has flown by. I really wish I could remember to post more often, but life with an 8 month old is starting to get very interesting and between work and being a mother, I am kept very busy!
Gwen can crawl! Well, mostly. She still hasn't quite figured how to get up on her knees, but she will use her arms and kick her legs and drag herself across the floor. Remember long ago how I called her my Zombie Baby? Well that was back when she would make strange noises, now it's because of her "crawl".
She is getting to be such a big little girl! She is so smart and hangs on every word we say. I just know she is taking it all in; my little sponge. She loves to string the sounds "da" and "na" together. If only she would say "ma". I know my heart would just melt!
Teeth! Gwen is working on 2 more! First, her two bottom teeth came in. Now she has her two top teeth trying to work their way through her gums. You can see them just underneath. Poor thing has had a couple of pretty miserable days here and there thanks to those teeth, and they are still not all the way in!
We took Gwen to Fernbank's Natural Museum of Science and History last weekend. We took tons of pictures and Gwen had a fun time. She is definitely a "people watcher" like her mommy - my little "nosey pants", ha ha ha. We went to see the Mythical Creatures Exhibit and it was very fascinating. There is a GIANT Unicorn on display and Bryan captured a fantastic picture of Gwen and myself. Gwen was so in awe of that Unicorn. I think the verdict might be in: Mommy loves owls, but Gwen loves Unicorns!!! Of course, we had to buy her one of her very own - luckily, hers, is much smaller.
Gwen was IN LOVE with the majestic Unicorn.
A Unicorn of Gwen's very own!
