Gwen at 8 Months


Happy .667th Birthday, Gwen!

This was another big month for little Gwen. She continues to check milestones off her to-do list. Her biggest achievement this going mobile. We wouldn't necessarily call it "crawling" just yet, but through a mix of scoots, pushups and bellyflops, Gwen manages to slowly get herself around the floors. It's just a matter of time before she's officially crawling.

On the health front, Gwen continues to stick it to Blue Cross/Blue Shield with her epic streak of doctor visits. (Way to go, Gwen!) She had her tube surgery on March 1. She followed that up with 2 more ear infections (which were much less painful with the tubes in place, thankfully) and a nasty chest cold. And, just for good measure, she took a dive off the changing table last weekend and bruised her collar bone. But she's a tough cookie and is already back to being her cheerful little self.

Here are some photos from this month...







Gwen crawling technique isn't what you'd expect (yet), but she gets where she needs to go -- which is usually to the entertainment unit, where she likes to take out books and DVDs.


Gwen's blonde hair is coming in much faster lately. Even Morgan noticed, and included it in a portrait of Gwen she drew this week.



With Spring finally here, Gwen has enjoyed spending some time outside in the backyard with Morgan.
