Gwennan Laughs

"You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the very first time, the laugh broke up into a thousand pieces of light, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies."

- Peter Pan

Absolute Cuteness

LOOK at the cuteness! She's the most beautiful thing EVER! (Okay, I'm a proud mama.)






















Thanks to Dawn for the photo. We had a fun photo session with Gwennan last week and this is one of the many wonderful photos that came from it.

Gwennan had her check-up this week: 27 1/2 inches long, 16 lbs, 1 oz. That puts her at 90th percentile for height, 25th percentile for weight. So we have a tall and skinny child, kind of what I was expecting, since Mark and I both were tall and skinny. Until we got to about 30 and it all fell apart.

Gratuitous Cute Baby Photos - October Edition

Sigh ...
It's hard to keep up with the blog nowadays. I wish I actually had time to write on here, but it's hard with a 6-month old in the house who can actually roll around to where she wants to go now.
And it's too bad, too, because sometimes I have very meaningful and profound things to say. Anyway, for now, you'll just have to join me as I look at these photos and say, "Awwww!"


Charles and Dawn persuaded us to purchase a Nikon D70s digital SLR, and I'm glad we did. We're still learning how to work it, but here are some first photos:



















Gwennan in her jumper at Granny's house:



















Mommy and Baby in the morning:














Gwennan and Catri swinging in the backyard:



















Catri and Gwennan again:



















Do you see the resemblance?



















We bought a backpack so we could take Gwennan out for walks in the woods. She really likes it:



















Altho the rocking motion tends to give this result:



















And she's become a really good eater in the past few weeks:



















And, TA-DA!! She can sit up now!!!
