We had a professional photoshoot in December and I snagged some of the images from the company's order page. Very low quality and they have a giant "Proof" across them, but here they are anyway.

Family pics
First thing, Gwen had another milestone at Grammer's yesterday. She can count to three with a little prompting. When she feels like it.

January pics
We've become so horrible at updating this blog. Just too much going on in our lives I suppose.
Gwen just keeps changing all the time. She's able to walk around holding onto furniture or pushing a little car, and we've seen her stand unaided for a few seconds at a time. She's very chatty, and words are arriving with some frequency; we've had "up", "bye bye", "no", and "milk" for awhile now, but newer additions are "gaga" (cracker), "up ez" (up please), "coo" (thank you, we think), "night night", "house" (referring to her toy door in the pics below), and just today we got "pizza". I was carrying her from the car after picking her up from daycare and she just spat out "pizzapizzapizza". I just had to stop in my tracks, the cuteness was overwhelming.
Gwen had a surgery on her eye a few weeks ago. She was born with a blocked tear duct and it just didn't go away. Everything went fine, and we no longer have to hold a wet washcloth to her eye every morning to loosen up the gunk. A win-win for all of us, really.
This child is still not gaining weight. She's gotten a bit taller, but she's noticeably skinnier. The chart, it is looking worse. Up until recently, she's been at a very healthy height/weight ratio, right in the middle of the range. Now she's right on the edge between OK and too skinny for her height. A dietician came to look at her and has told us to put olive oil in her spaghetti sauce and heavy whipping cream in her milk. Wish I could eat that way...

Picture Catch-Up
Not many pics, but here's a few for the masses.

| Very dirty-faced child |

| Climbing up the couch to say hi |
 |
| OH NOES!!!! |
 |
| The child ripped my pedometer off of my jeans, pulling a rivet with it. Since she wanted it so much, we decided to let her count her steps for awhile. |

| Playing the piano |

Halloween pics
A batch of very old pics that I found sitting on my phone. They are from a few days before Halloween to Halloween itself, over at Davina's. The standard "my phone is absolute crap" and "this child won't sit still" keeps them from being anything resembling quality work.

| Heading out for a walk with Alisha and Seraphim. |
 |
| "Helping" to set up for Halloween. |
 |
| Davina decided to dress Gwen in a waaaaay too small outfit for the day, hence the bare legs. |
 |
| Briana's costume included handcuffs. Gwen seemed fascinated. |
 |
| Amie and Gwen. |
Meatloaf
Gwen likes meatloaf:
She also got a mom-haircut and I swear she looks like my nephew Jack.
She's definitely advancing along. The biggest news is that she's now able to pull herself up to her feet on her own. She's also trying to sing the ABCs, and getting none of them right. Still fun to sing to her and have her respond with something.
She also had a cookie while visiting grandma McCallum. Apparently it went over well. There was even a "cookie dance" the next time a cookie appeared, but it didn't make it onto film. I missed it too.
She's even started dancing to my techno. So she'll like opera from grammers and techno from me, should be a good combination.
