Halloween Party

Happy Halloween! Tonight we gathered in the old 'hood and went to a party. Everyone was there! Unfortunately I didn't take too many pictures. But here are a few.

Source of Continuous Amusement...

This evening Corbin came home to this....as you can see Gwennie's practicing her comedy routine. That toy is the alligator from the Loonie Spelling Squirties

Standing Up

Well, as you can see from this video, Gwennie has now figured out how to stand up on her own....and eat the stain off of the crib. She also has her mother's graceful balance and managed to bump her mouth on the edge (that's why we had to stop filming). Don't worry...no trips to the emergency room. Just a few tears and she was good to go again in a few minutes.

Halloween Parade

This weekend was the neighborhood Halloween parade! The local firetruck comes down and leads the kids around the block. Between maneuvering Gwennie and trying to keep her outfit together, I didn't get many pics. I took some pictures this morning of her in the full getup and she's also learned how to pull herself up in the crib so I grabbed some cute photos of that last night. I have a video as well so I will post that part later this afternoon.

Sooner than we thought!

If you read the blog two days ago you would see that Gwennie was pretty close to crawling. I had said she would be motoring around by next week. I spoke too soon...as of today she's got crawling down!
Here's a video of her crawling across the room. As you will see, she was more interested in the phone (typical, right?) rather than her toys!

Zoom Zoom....

Yesterday we headed to Costco for some formula and came back with a car! Well...sort of. This little contraption keeps Ms. Gwennie entertained for hours. This morning Corbin was pushing her around and left her behind me. I kept hearing the horn going "honk, honk" and when I turned around she looked at me as though she was saying..."hello....Mom? I'm honking here....push me around the house!"

Pretty close to crawling...

As you can see, Gwennie is getting pretty close to crawling. Hopefully in the next week or two she will have it down (on the other hand we really haven't baby proofed anything so this should be interesting!!)

Invasion of the Yip Yips Part 2

You tube is being kind of odd...ready the previous post before checking out the above video

Last night Gwennie had the sniffles and ended up waking up around 11. We brought her into our bedroom and she was making the funniest noises. Corbin thinks she sounds like the Yip Yip martians (google and youtube are the best!). I have to agree!

Weekend with the Girls

This weekend was just the girls while Corbin was at a concert with Gwennie's Godfather Clark. We went to the Fall Festival at a church down the street with Crawford, Janet and Andrew Fisher.

Also - here is a video of Gwennie on her new swing

Pumpkins and Cold Weather

Well it is finally cold in the mornings now so Gwennie put on her hat (thanks Kiki) and sweater and was ready for a morning walk. We also headed over to the church down the street to take some pictures with the pumpkins. Gwennie wasn't too keen on sitting on the haystack (might have been the fact that she was wearing a dress!) but she was a good sport for the rest of the pictures.

I'm 7 months old!

This weekend was Gwennie's 7 month birthday. Saturday Corbin dressed Gwennie in her lucky Carolina onesie (thank you Matt/Michele) in the hopes that the Tar Heels would win their football game. Luckily it worked and they won 33 27, so Daddy was especially happy all weekend.

Here are some pictures from Ari's birthday and Gwennie
