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!)
