Gwen- Six Months

Gwen is 6 months already! Where did the time go?
Seriously this has been the fasted six months of my life.
Gwen is just the best. We sure love having her as part of our family. She is the happiest baby ever and not to mention she is absolutely beautiful. This past month has been great. Gwen starting eating solid foods, as I mentioned in an earlier post. She is also rolling over and sitting up. So many accomplishments! She is starting to follow a bit of a schedule which I am enjoying. We have been putting her to bed around nine or ten and she usually puts her self to bed. She will cry for a few minutes, it breaks my heart but I just have to think, big picture. She wakes up once a night, sometimes twice. And is up for the day around eight. She is awake for a few hours and then takes a little nap. The rest of the day usually varies, depending on what we are up to. She loves to nestle her face into a soft blanket while falling asleep, and she also gibber gabbers as she dozes off. It is the sweetest thing ever. Gwen loves to hold her toes and hold her toys. She is great at sharing, smiling, giggling, and blowing bubbles. Gwen is a great eater, loves to nurse still but is also enjoying baby food. She usually nurses every 3-4 hours in day.She still loves watching her sisters and she is always laughing at everything Ivy does. I try telling Ivy not to sit on her sister but Gwen will be cracking up!  Its hard to break it up when they are both so happy! I love watching Gwen's little personality blossom. She is pretty laid back and a ton of fun. She really is the sweetest and has such a calming presence. This month we have visited the splash pad, went swimming, visited grandma and grandpa house, stayed the night in a hotel and played on the swings at the park.
I can't get over that my little baby is a half a year old. Time needs to slow down!
We love you Gwen!
