City Park!

In our new city, Jersey City, there are a TON of parks. We have a favorite right now called River Road Park (I think...) but we call it City View Park. Here is why...



We go there the most. Gwen loves the playground area. It has this foam cement that does not hurt when you fall and that is a GOOD thing, ha! She is addicted to swings and slides. They also have this piano game and an abacus that she really like playing with as well. We let her go alone (holding her hands) down the small slides, but the big ones she goes with Mommy!



Here are some fun pics of her love for slides...she is going to LOVE water slides, I can just tell! Rollercoaster rides too!

Softball Glove!

She knows how to put on her softball gloves! Yes, I said gloves. She has 3, ha! It's really funny when she puts them on at the same time - 1 on each hand, lol! I can already tell she will be strong and like being active...hopefully a catcher - she has a heck of a squat! Here are some oldies but goodies from our old apartment of her playing ball. OH, we have to get a video of her throwing the ball because that is amazing...nobody will steal on her!

Petting Zoo / Church Picnic

These pictures are about 1 1/2 months old, sorry! We went to a church picnic with my friend and coworker, Monica and they had a petting zoo. Gwen was loving in it! she really does love animals and oddly enough, she didn't attack them and go crazy which is usually what happens when Eddie is around. It was a hot day, but we all had fun and Gwen really enjoyed seeing all the people and animals. Enjoy!!

The Car Seat Dance :)

Just too stinking cute :) Daddy filmed while I drove so no worries, no one risked lives here!

Test Results!

Gwen's blood is normal! :) YAY! All the test results came back completely normal...we don't even have to give her the Fer In Sol drops anymore (Iron drops...I called them her Meat Drops, HA!)

The Dr. said finger and heal pricks for blood can give less than accurate results, but 4 vials straight from her arm tell the truth, lol. They even ran an extra test for her hemoglobin and it came back normal, too. A-OK :)

Sigh of relief.

Last night in the old place tonight...kinda sad yet exciting at the same time :) Gotta take over 1 more load of stuff and then clean the rest of the old apt. and we are out by tomorrow at noon! :)

Will post pics soon.

15 Month Dr Appt.

Gwenie had her 15 month Dr. appt on the 21st and she had to get 3 shots :( plus more blood work done. At 12 months she had a low hemoglogin count so they wanted to do it again. Well, she had a low count again so they sent her to the Lab to get 4 vials of blood drawn :( It was so sad. She was screaming. I cound not go so poor daddy had to hold her down and watch. Ugh. We don't know the results yet but the Dr. was thinking it was either she is Anemic or that some hereditary thing where she just has a low count and it is no big deal. Let's pray it's one of those!

We did get her height and weight. She is 30.5 inches tall (75%) and 25.5 lbs (90%. She did a dance for the Dr. and then followed him out into the hall causing everyone to oooh and ahhh at her :) Then the shots came and she was ticked off, lol.

The next appt is in Nov. unless the blood work comes back with other news. I will post when I know :)

We are moving!

This weekend is the big weekend. Nervous, sad and excited at the same time! I mean we like the Apt we are in because it is where we raised Eddie and Gwen :) hehe and it was our first real place together (thats the sad part) but this new place KICKS THE OLD ONES BUTT! (Excited part) And the nervous part...actually moving, ugh! I don't want either of us to throw our backs out or drop something, lol...stressing, but no extra money to hire movers so it looks like it is up to us!

Oh, quick update with Gwen. She is very very whinny lately, maybe she is growing. But, something new she does - One of us says "Pee-You" and she plugs her nose! HA! Another one she will do is say, "no no no" after we say "no" to her...cute, but I am sure that one will be annoying soon.
