Thank you!

We're on the move!!!

Gwennie is 10 months old!  How fast does the time fly!  And...we're crawling!  She's a bit slow and wobbly, but she's getting it!  Bella isn't too thrilled about it and better get practicing running away from her.  Gwennie likes her tail.  :-D 

   She had a great first Christmas and it was good seeing a lot of family!  By the end, Gwennie had unwrapping gifts mastered!  :-D  I have the rest of this week off and I go back to work January 3rd.  I am looking forward to the time with Miss G.  She is growing up so fast and I love watching her. 

Here's her 10 month photo and a few Christmas ones taken by Theresa...

bows...

It's bow making here at the Ritscher household while Chris has to work late.  Pray for him...work is rough right now and running him ragged.  He has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders and I know he's stressed. 



My first attempt at rosettes...

More yo-yo's...

Another first for this type of bow...

video...

So I had tried uploading a video of Gwennie eating her puffs...but it didn't work.  So here is a link to my facebook with the video.  Enjoy!

...If you can't see it, I will try and upload the video again soon.

Solid Foods!!!

Gwennie ate her stage 3 food...and some puffs cereal today.  She had originally gagged and spit up.  I think the texture wasn't something she liked...but we made progress today!  It was so cute!

Also...Chris and I along with Mary (Chris's Mom) went to the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert last night!  It was great...as usual!  Loved it!  Gwennie had her first sleepover at my parents house and was a very good girl.  I missed her, but got to sleep in until 7.  :-D

Stuff...

Busy, busy, busy now that work is going again after Thanksgiving break...I finished my yo-yo flowers off with some buttons...haven't had time to make any new ones yet...here's some pictures from last weekend and brunch with Gwennie's grandma and grandpa.  She was playing with Grandpa for a bit.  Then there's one of her winter hat that was a gift from a coworker of mine. I was so excited for her to be able to wear it!  :-D 

She was very serious in all of these...but she was giggling and smiling when I put the camera away...
