Dressing myself is fun!

Gwen is amazing me more and more every day. New words, new concepts. What a great age this is for learning!

I have to tell a little story here about this past Tuesday. Gwendolyn was playing outside with her Daddy after dinner while I was inside getting some housework done. Apparently at one point Gwen walked up and gave Gordon a big hug on his legs, saying, "I love you Daddy." Awww! I am really looking forward to my turn on that one!

Speaking of new skills, Gwen is getting better at dressing herself these days too. Socks are a cinch now, and she can almost put her coat on by herself. A few days ago she decided to try a whole outfit. Everybody must have the obligatory "trying to dress themselves when small" pictures, so I present to you the first round for Gwen. She certainly enjoyed herself!

Time for the socks, having already attempted the shirt:




Happy girl - - I actually got her to say 'cheese' for the camera!






The finished product!

Fun at the Park

With the weather starting to get nicer, we have finally been able to get back to the park. Gwendolyn enjoys these outings quite a lot, although it is tough to get her to leave. Here are a few pictures of one of such outings. Of course, Lion always enjoys a bit of fun too.

Rainy Day play

I know that I am very behind on posts here, so today I am adding three new posts. I hope you enjoy them!

Gwendolyn loves baths, so it's not a surprise that she also loves splashing in the rain. April showers bring May flowers, as they say. Here are some pictures of Gwen enjoying the effects of a rainy day:



All set in rainy day attire:


Look at those wet pants!







A little softshoe in a puddle:


Here's a little video of the fun too. Apparently Gwen felt the need to explore the puddles with all her senses!
