Here is a couple of photos from when we went to my parents' house for Tamara's birthday in October

Gwen drew this today with very little help -- I was only telling her, "Okay, start with a circle.  Now draw eyes, a nose, and mouth.  How about some hair?  Now a neck.  Now draw a circle for his body.. Arms, fingers, legs, and feet."  And she drew it by herself.  She suddenly hit a drawing milestone overnight =)

"Here we go... again!" is one of Gwen's favorite Ray Charles songs, which she can repeat over and over... again.

Here she is at her piano (which she does not really know how to play yet, but it does not stop her:

I can speak in sentences now! (If you hadn't realized, by the way, I don't actually log in and post to livejournal myself - Dada does it for me most of the time). A few days ago, I brought a book to Mama and I told her, "read me a book" - then I repeated it, because she acted shocked instead of just starting to read to me ( Read more... )

Then again, just before bedtime tonight, Dada and I watched my Four Seasons show, and there were candles appearing with numbers on them, and Dada started ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention that we had lots of visitors yesterday. We heard a knocking, but there was no one at either door. It was a woodpecker at our window, knocking away at something. I got to see the pretty birdy up close and I was very excited! He flew away, but then he came back to the other window. We saw lots of birdies around our ( Read more... )

The first half of my day was great! I slept in (until just after 8) and woke up in a good mood. We played, we had fun, we had some breakfast and lunch, and then Dada tried to put me down for a nap, when the party was just getting started. I had other ideas, so I stayed up and partied until 3 o'clock. Had two PUs in the morning, and another one ( Read more... )
