To the park, again

Now that it's warmer, Gwen got to go to the park again.  She really liked the swing, but she insisted on leaning as far forward in it as she could.

I wrote this 10/23/10 - why was it not posted then???

We've had a LOT of nurses helping us out over the past 17 days.  Here's a few more pictures, but I'm guessing even more will be coming later.

Leah

I don't remember what her name is...

Raimonda

Brenda

Beth

Spinning

The child discovered the joys of the sit-n-spin.

Toddling around

The child's walking has improved drastically over the past few weeks.  She's still not as fast as when she does her Quasimodo scoot, but she gets by.

A few random pics:

I might as well list some of her words since we haven't updated them in awhile.  She's become an utter mimic so I finally have to watch my language a bit.

• "fishies" == craisins (no clue on this one)
• "dobbie" == strawberry
• "noni" == macaroni (or any other pasta)
• "peas" == please
• "uppeas" == up please
• "down" == down, or up onto the furniture
• "on" == light, light switch, let me play with the light switch
• "than koo" == thank you
• "bath"
• "sleepy"
• "night night"
• "elmo" - could be TV in general, but it seems to be more specifically this
• "milk"
• lots more, but nothing coming to mind

WALKING!

Zucchini!

My child is quite entertaining occasionally. In this instance, we went grocery shopping.  She has to hold everything that enters the cart, at least until something new comes along.  The last thing I picked up was a zucchini, so she kept it the entire way home.  However, upon getting her into the car I noticed she was chewing on something.  "Ah, raw zucchini is fine, I'll let her keep it."

Then I saw she was eating the stem.  Me being who I am, I decided just to let her keep it. I figured she'd get bored with it, or that she just needed the fiber.

Once we got home, there's this much left.  Notice that the stem is completely gone.

I put this one in here more because of my expression than for her antics.  This is me overcome with laughter.  It's not something that happens all that often, so I thought I'd share.
