8 Months Old

Gwynn is doing something new every day!

• She can talk now! We’re not sure she knows what she’s saying, but she’s fairly good at saying “bye bye” (or “bye bye bye bye bye”) and sometimes will say something that sounds like “mama” when she’s mad.
• Gwynn can wave every now and then….it’s so cute because she’ll watch our hands really closely and try to do what we’re doing, but her fingers move so slow when she waves!
• Gwynn can crawl at nearly the speed of light and she’s no longer content to just hang out by the couch. She loves exploring the kitchen too, but that’s as far as we let her go right now.
• She pulls up on anything and everything and is just now starting to “cruise” a little bit (hold on to the couch and walk).
• Gwynn sleeps a bit less in the afternoon and instead will be asleep by 7:45pm almost every night. Before she’d oftentimes stay up until 8pm before even starting her bottle.
• She still only has her two bottom teeth, but we expect the top ones to come in soon.
• Daycare is still going great…we love Mrs. Ouida and Mrs. Bonnie. We thought that Gwynn would start getting sad to leave us, but she gets so excited to see all of her friends! There is a little boy named Ben who is about 4 years old and Mrs. Bonnie said that Gwynn’s face will light up when he comes in and she’ll crawl as fast as she can to him! Ben’s mommy said that he says he’s going to marry Gwynn one day. :-)
