Gwyn will be 11 months old tomorrow. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. She has definitely had her difficult times and was not the easiest baby, but she is sure a sweetheart. Every morning when I get her from her bed she lays her head on my shoulder and pats my back. She loves giving kisses and she is a major Mama's girl. She is finally crawling like a "big girl" (or normal crawling). She has no desire to start walking or really pull herself up much. She only really likes to stand when we are at church and she can hold on to the back of the pew and look at everyone behind her, other than that she is perfectly content sitting and crawling. She is so tiny that I think it would be crazy to see her walking. She is finally wearing 6-9month old clothes. She is a great eater though. She never was too hot on baby food, but loves eating finger foods instead. She is drinking from a sippy cup that she can hold herself. Her favorite word is Mama. She will sometimes say "nigh nigh" for night night and "ma" for when she wants more. She is starting to hold her own against her sisters and is forming quite a good grip on toys she is playing with, since they usually get taken from her by Kali. She also will throw a fit by screaming if her sisters take something or are pestering her too much. She even tried to take a chomp out of Bristol when she wouldn't leave her alone the other day. She loves to play with her sister's toys and doesn't really have much love of her baby toys. We all feel so blessed to have her in our family.
This is kind of a long video, but you can see her crawling, hear her say Mama, and wave goodbye. Whenever she sees the school bus she starts waving, because she waves to Bristol everyday when Bristol leaves for school.
