*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!
  
Some firsts: 
First walk in the stroller!


She was calm and happy the whole walk!

This is Gwennie trying to sit up on her own...she doesn't quite have it mastered yet.  ♥

2 Months!!

Wow!  It's been quite a while since I've posted.  We are doing great!  Gwennie is healthy and growing like a weed!  Mandy and my mom are such great babysitters when we're at work!  Gwennie is liking her bath time much better now and she's smiling all the time!  She coos and even had her first little giggle today...Mommy missed it though.  Daddy was the one that made her laugh.  ♥ We are thanking God every day for this little miracle!!

 Here are some cute pictures...

1 month old!!!

Our baby girl is already 1 month old!  I can't believe how fast that month has gone by...and how soon I will be going back to work.  Next Wednesday is coming way too fast!  Gwendolyn is doing great!  She's taking a bottle really well, so that's good news for Mandy and my mom, who will be watching her.  She is doing much better with her baths...not much crying...I think she is beginning to like the warm water.  Some gas pains off and on, but overall we're adjusting to life as a family of 3!

Our little girl...

Sorry, it's been so long and I haven't updated this.  We've been quite busy.  Gwennie is doing great with eating and sleeping.  She's a pretty happy baby...for the most part. :-D  Her growth is great.  We're up over her birth weight now; 7lbs 10oz.  She also grew an inch already too.  Here are some pictures of her firsts...
