Doing stuff




We're keeping busy this week with all manner of things. Yesterday, Daddy and Gwendolyn spent some time with friend Josephine and twins Nicolas and Cedrine, enjoying the ducks and trails at Trout Lake Park. Today, Dad had to run an errand and as a wee thank you to G., he took her to another park where she walked and walked... and walked. (Oh yes -- and took a 5 minute turn on the swings.)

Gwendolyn's phrase of the day was "pick up", as in "pick it up" -- today it was directed at leaves, clumps of grass and other bits of stuff along the path she was walking. She would see a small object in her path, stop, say "pick up," pick the object up (or have Dad do it for her) and place it out of the way of her path so she could continue walking.

Posted here are a few photos of other goings-on:

* What beautiful bracelets! Who knew Fisher Price stacking rings were so versatile?
* Letting her fingers do the walking... As mentioned in an earlier post, Gwendolyn enjoys flipping through big people's reading material; the Yellow Pages are perfect, with lots of pictures to go along with the many words.
* Who needs the attachable tray to the high chair when there is a perfectly good dining room table around? Note the proper pinky extension on the right hand while drinking from her sippy cup -- we have a very cultured young lady on our hands! (Also, a note to Dad: next time, don't include the place mat; not long after this photo was taken, it ended up on the floor along with the remainder of Gwendolyn's lunch. "Uh-oh...")
