We realize we've been a little lazy in the blogging department lately... To get you caught up, here's a bit of an update on happenings from the past week or so:
- We definitely have a little talker on our hands! Gwendolyn is becoming more and more vocal, adding new sounds to her repertoire by the day. We happily get plenty of cooing, squealing, ooh's and ahh's, particularly after she has woken up from a good long nap. An added bonus: her talking is always combined with lots and lots of smiling. (By the way, is there anything better than having your baby wake up, see your face, and break into a huge, toothless grin? No, we didn't think so...)
- Getting a hold on things: Gwendolyn has started to reach for and grasp objects. She has a favourite toy that she sometimes holds while sitting in her shaky chair; Dad has also found her hanging on tightly to his sleeve during a diaper change, and Mom discovered her pulling on her bracelet during a recent feed.
- Our little one keeps growing. Dad did a very unscientific weigh-in last evening and discovered that Gwendolyn has topped 13 pounds (5,897 grams). We'll get a more accurate reading this afternoon when we visit the drop-in clinic at our local community centre.
- All this growing sadly means that a number of our favourite outfits are now too small for her and have to be retired. Never fear, though: she's got lots of cute new outfits to replace them, such as the terrific sleeper you see her wearing in the photo above.
- Finally, here are a few new nicknames to add to the list: Honey Bear (Dad's new favourite), Bubbles (Mom's new favourite; Gwen's become a bit of a drooler, and she often looks like she's frothing at the mouth), Little Monkey and, oddly enough, Pickles (Dad again; he can certainly pick 'em, eh?).
