More Entertainment

This weekend Gwennie was a little grumpy so we found this interesting way to keep her occupied. Everytime she'd start to whimper we would play this game. I think in the end Corbin and I got more of a kick out of it than Gwennie did but none the less, it was another source of comedy!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving we headed down to Neeses, South Carolina to meet up with the Corbin side of the family (Corbin was named for his Great Uncle Edward Corbin - Corbin Edward Meek). There are 5 siblings and their families that all meet up together every year. Here is a picture of them from left to right. Iris (Gwennie's grandmother where her middle name Iris came from), Dot, Ed, Harold, and Irine. One thing that I found so amusing was that apparently they always line up in order of age. We all had such a good time and Gwennie was so happy to have new faces to look at and people to carry around and play with her.

Bathroom updates and Monday Morning Stroll

I keep meaning to put pictures up from when we repainted the bathrooms. Here are some before and after shots. Disregard the fact that I completely forgot to fold the hand towels! Also, the before of the guest bathroom was right after we moved in so the first picture is a little cluttered with all of our moving stuff.

This morning we went for a walk down the street and played in the swing out back. It was pretty sunny so Gwennie wore her sunglasses. Sometimes it shocks me that we can put just about anything (hats, sunglasses...big snail costume) on this kid and she just goes along with it! I think she liked stolling around like a movie star...diva in training that she is!

Here's a video of her after the walk. The girls (Ginger and Ruby) are so funny...as you can see they turn their heads to the side every time we say the word "walk".

Jam-Packed Weekend

This weekend was pretty busy. Nanna Susan came into town on Friday afternoon and stayed with us all weekend to help Corbin and I prepare for Gini Webb's baby shower on Sunday. Saturday morning we headed over to get some professional family portraits done...well, more like took a few pictures as a family and the rest of the time was devoted to Gwennie's antics. As you will see, she's a much happier kid outside. Sunday we had a nice shower with a small group. I can't believe it but the only picture I took was of the cupcake tower before the shower started!

I'm 8 months old and I have a new cousin - Molly Gilbert!

Yesterday was a big day in our family. Gwennie is now officially 8 months old and at 6:50 AM, her new cousin Margaret Salisbury Gilbert (Molly) was born! Clay and Brandt are also doing well and you can check out Molly on their blog which is listed in our links under "The Gilbert Family". We are very excited to meet her!

Painting the Bathrooms

This week we are painting the bathrooms so Miss Gwennie took a bath in the kitchen sink instead of the bathtub. We also took a few pictures from this week.

Banana Gerber Stuff

This weekend Gwennie tried out some of those Gerber Graduate banana puffed rice snacks. Here's a video of the action.
