3 Months!

Hi everyone!
Gwennie is three months now!  I can't believe how time flies.  She's talking so much more and grabbing things with her little hands.  She's trying to roll over and holding her head up really well!  I am almost done with work for the school year.  June 2nd is our last day.  It will be so nice to be home with Gwennie!  I still have one class to finish up at Eureka this summer, but that will be done in July!  I take my special education certification test on June 4th.  It will be so nice to have that done too! 
Here are some cute pictures...three month pictures and some others.  However, her adorable little smile seems to be quite elusive when the camera is around...Enjoy!





caught her off guard...

Road Trip!

Well, yesterday Gwennie took her longest road trip yet!  We went and visited her Great Grandma Nolan and Great Aunt Kathleen for the day.  We ate lunch and dinner and spent some time catching up and taking pictures.  One outfit change, but...Gwennie did great and Great Grandma loved holding her!  It was so good to visit!

*Spring time*

Hi everyone!
 
   It's been quite busy around here.  Lots to do with work, church, school, family, and friends.  It seems like we're always going and going.  Gwennie is doing well.  Some tummy troubles with gas pains, but overall she's doing great!  She is sleeping on average about 6-7 hours a night which helps out a lot!  This Momma needs her rest!  :-D  I am currently taking a class two nights a week @ Eureka College and my parents have been babysitting her.  Those are long days, but I love seeing her when work and school are said and done.  She is smiling much more now and even starting to giggle!  It is too cute!  She has started clasping her hands together and putting anything she can in her mouth.  Gwennie is putting weight on her legs and acting like she's trying to stand up now too!  She's progressing along just fine!  Today, on the way home from Mandy's house(our youth pastor's wife who babysits her on the days that my mom can't), she was just chatting away in the back seat the whole time.  I love it! We are so blessed to have such a perfect little miracle!
