Small anecdote

I know most babies give you lots of anecdotes, and for most of them you probably have to be there to really get the full feeling. And I know no one is likely as interested as Luke or I. But, I still want to remember this, so I'm making a little post.

Yesterday night, when I got home late, Gwen had already been put down for the night. Usually she stays asleep. Occasionally she'll wake up a little fussy or to eat. Luke and I were eating dinner together and the monitor goes off. Since I haven't seen her all day, I volunteered to go see what was up.

I go up to her room and listen at the door. She's been coughing a little, so I didn't want to bother her if she was just coughing some and still basically asleep.

Instead of coughing, I hear laughing. A lot of it. So I go in, and there she is, just haaaaaappy and laughing for no obvious reason. I start to laugh back. Then she REALLY gets going. Taking her downstairs to see Luke, she continues to laugh and starts to laugh enough to start making little baby laughing-so-hard-I'm-snorting noises.

It was probably the cutest thing ever.

Three months

Gwen turned three months old at the beginning of this year, and while I posted some of her "new tricks" in the last post I made, I hadn't gotten around to posting those pictures, sorry! This is my first picture post, so wish me luck (and tell me if there's any problems!).

Gwen has also experienced her first cold, since the last blog relating to her. She's passed it to Luke and me as well, but Luke seems to have gotten it worse. Lots of sniffles for Gwen, but she took it gracefully enough and wasn't too fussy.

On to pictures! They're from about two weeks ago or so.



There's the "almost Piper-esque" finger nom. Not quite!




You can see the fascination with the Wildcats.


A few Christmas gifts from her friends Amelia, Natalie and Piper, and her daycare provider Davina.




Just a little size comparing with Luke's finger.
