A Glimpse of Gwendalyn's World: The first 8 months

Gwendalyn just turned 8 months old last week! It's hard to believe. She is army crawling everywhere and man, is she fast! She is really wanting to pull up on things, but hasn't quite figured it out. Gwen is a great eater and we have recently started table food. We haven't found anything she doesn't like yet. :) She is one busy, busy little girl, she keeps Brandon and I on our toes and we love every minute of it!

We had one busy summer. We were busy with family functions, weddings, spending time outside, we celebrated our one year wedding anniversary and Gwen's baptism. Gwendalyn had her first boat ride this summer. We spent many weekends at the lake. She wasn't too sure about the water but she was a trooper since Mom and Dad kept making her swim. :) In August, I started working again, as the school librarian, after staying home with Gwen for the first 6 months. We are extremely lucky and my grandma Gorton (Gwen's GG) offered to watch Gwendalyn. Gweny loves her GG and they have lots of fun together and Brandon and I feel at ease knowing someone who loves her so much is caring for her when we can't. We also lost my grandma Abel last week, Gweny and her great granny were great friends! We all miss her so much but feel very blessed that she got to spend lots of time with Gwen and they had a wonderful relationship.

Life as parents is the better then either Brandon or myself could imagine. Gwen is such a joy to be around and makes everyone smile. We are very blessed to have such a great baby.

Here are some of the highlight from the past 8 months
