My Baby Continues to Grow …
So, because when I do Gwen’s scrapbook I look back on my blog to find out when she did certain things, I thought I should update. Plus, I obviously like updating everyone on her development!

Gwen was being cheered on at the library because she was soooooo close to crawling! A few times since then she’s done a few crawls before collapsing and dragging herself the rest of the way. Not long now! Oh, and crazily enough, she pulled herself up on a toy at the library as well. I sat her in front of it to grab the diaper bag and looked back and she was standing beside it. We had to lower the crib mattress. Gwen’s first tooth is also through (her lower middle right one), although she’s still showing signs of continued teething, so I know more are coming!

I have been giving Gwen some cereal to play with at dinner time to keep her busy until we’re done eating our dinner and I feed her (Avacado. If you’re wondering, that’s what she eats for dinner. She can chuck back 1/2 an avacado at one sitting, so I know she’s got an appetite, she just refuses most foods!). She has been grabbing one in her hand (getting really close to the pincer grip!), moving her hand to her mouth, and then mimicking chewing motions. Too cute. Especially because there’s nothing in her mouth.

This morning, Gwen fed herself three Breakfast O’s. That’s the first time she’s successfully maneuvered them into her mouth and ingested them. The first one caused a bit of coughing and a little gag. The second and third went much better. Does this mean we start finger foods? After breakfast, as I was sorting through some of her old clothes, she sat up. From laying down. This opens a whole bunch of possibilities for Mistress Mouse as now she can get to something and sit up to play with it.
Somebody stop this crazy ride, please! She’s growing too fast!
She is just all kinds of cute.
