Fetch mom and dad, fetch!

Sorry if this is a bit shaky...I was doing the fetching of the toy as well as shooting the video...I am a one woman machine I tell ya! Anyways, this is Gwen's new favorite thing...catapulting her toy off of her exersaucer and it is pretty much her way of making mom and dad play fetch. Funny though...she makes this thing go further and further each time she launches it. No worries, she has only clocked herself in the chin once...for some reason the actual toy does not bend enough to go straight up and smack her so unless she is on top of the toy, it misses her face :) GOOD thing or this would not be as funny!

Gwendolyn's 1st Santa experience

Some pics from this weekend's visit to see Santa. Gwen wore one of her new Xmas outfits and ended up loving sitting with Santa. As you can see, Santa was not to jolly, but hey, at least his beard was real!






Finally, some type of family picture thanks to a good samaritan at the mall :)



Yes we noticed, after the picture was taken, that Gwen's ears look like elf ears because the white thing is pushing them up, HA!

Gwen's hand turkeys!

Thanksgiving art work by Miss Gwendolyn! We traced her hand and then let her play with the pencils (under our supervision of course) so she could make the fun wiggle lines on the paper. Then Jason and I each finished off one of the turkeys and are going to send one to each grandparent duo :) Enjoy the process of Gwen's artwork making!






Dad colored this one! (Gwen supplied the squiggly lines in both!)


Mom colored this one!

Gwen Talking!

So this is what we get to hear randomly throughout the day...Gwen talking away like mad, LOVE IT!!! :) Soon it will be words which is crazy to us because she will never go back to these funny noises...crazy! She actually watches our lips move now and then without talking, makes her lips move too as if she wants to say what we said. We then try and say words slower and shorter like Ma Ma, or Da Da, or Baby and things like that while we point at the said thing. We will see what the 1st word will be!

New favorite thing

So Gwen has a new favorite thing to do...make fart noises with her mouth! She got it from us. We always make those fart noises making your lips move funny and noise come out. Raspberries is a better word for it, lol. Anyways, we do it on her skin and she recently has started mimicking us! We will do it and then she will do it! It is hilarious! She even tried to do it on my skin...Jason video taped that with the actual recorder...maybe we can get that up and running soon. (all these videos are from my phone for now) So now sometimes Gwen will see us and just do the fart noise, it is so funny! You can get a little taste of it in this short clip...I am sure we can get better ones soon. Enjoy! (notice she is wearing her Iowa gear, GO HAWKEYES!)

Gwen's Halloween Hello!

Gwen wishes everyone a Happy Halloween! She is going to be a Pink Monster. It has 3 eyes, horns, fangs, and a pot belly! So adorable. We will post pics and video soon!

Jogging with daddy!

I put some tennis shoes on Gwen one day that looked like she was going to go out on a run and Jason decided to make it even funnier by making Gwen look like she was running. He did it 5 or 6 times and this video is not the best time, but watch her feet, absolutely hilarious!

Gwen "sits" up!

So I may be liking blogspot a little more because of the ease of uploading and sharing video. We still have not made the switch completely, but feel free to check back to this site for more videos for the time being.

This one is Gwen "sitting up" in her bouncer. She does such a good job and is so happy for herself! Enjoy!

To Switch or to not Switch...that is the question!

We have not decided yet if we are switching over to blogger for Gwen's blog or not so I am just testing some stuff out to see what we like better. Pros of totsites are that it has sections you can look into, funfacts, its like an actual website. Cons with totsites is that it does not have that muh space and if I want more space I either have to delete or pay for more space. Also, I cannot upload video unless I buy more space. So, Blogger pros are the space amount and the video uploading for free. Cons are that everything will be on one page rather than sections. We will figure it out soon so please keep reading the Totsites baby site because we have not completely switched yet.

This is a test for a video of Gwen rolling over. She now never stops rolling over and it is so adorbale. Enjoy!
