Gwen is a jet setter :)

So the flight was very easy. Gwen is such a jet setter. Honestly in all 4 flights she probably slept for 1 hour total! One of the flights she stayed awake the entire time! CRAZY! I think maybe we need to start visiting our friends in foreign lands now, obviously Gwen could handle it! Ok, 3 hours and 10 hours are completely different on a plane, but it would be fun to travel more...oh wait, I guess money is more of a factor rather than just the fact that Gwen is a good flyer, hehe.

Back to the flights. We actually had a few delays causing us to miss our Chicago connection, but in the end we got home about 5 hours later than we normally would have. Actually on the stand by flight in Chicago they called my name and told me they had one seat for me. I thought about it long and hard, lol, but then decided I should probably stay with my family, HA! The woman laughed and found another seat for Jason and Gwenie so we got on that flight with was nice because that was at 1 pm and the flight we would have been on would have been 530 pm, yuck!

Gwen was more vocal on this flight and reached out to other people making them laugh or smile back...generally we have not received any snotty comments or bad looks from those people whom do not like to fly near kids so we are pretty lucky about that. I will say that each flight became a little colder as we exited it and when we finally got into Des Moines we walked out of the airport and instantly froze...are you kidding me? FREEZING! I walked straight back into the airport with Gwen until Jason's parents arrived with the car. Seriously, NJ gets this warm breeze off of the Gulf Coast I think which usually results in any type of snow melting within 1 day and rarely do we get ice storms or even under freezing temps...I was not ready for the wall of negative degree weather that smacked me in the face!

Here are some pics of Gwen's flight, enjoy!

The Wright Family

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!)
