Yikes it's been ages!!

Its now August and I haven't updated for ages!!  Just finished a big prom diction of the little mermaid which was huge success. Gwen is now 2.5! She is a funny thing, her personality it quite varied, from sweet to bonkers! She was licking her own toes last night in bed making me laugh and loving it. She is having her review tomorrow morning with health visitor. 

Gwen Christmas 2013

We had a wonderful Xmas and Gwen was a bit more aware of presetns. She opened quite a few, and  the look on her face was great for some of them. She loved her 'in the night garden' figures- makka pakka, and the tombliboos!

heres some pictures from a recent photoshoot by my sister, it was only in our lounge as she was trying out her camera/ no flash indoors for a wedding she had coming up but still some great shots.  Oh and Finally some more teeth are coming! The two middle ones plus the molars is all she has at the bottom! one of the incisors is coming at last.  Today is Chris' birthday, he's 42, I have a bloomin cold the second in 2 weeks! The weather has been horrendous today os maybe we'll venture out tomorrow if it's better.

Winter is finally here.

After a long summer and some pretty nice autumns weather it has gone a bit chilly. Hat and scarf weather!!!  This was Halloween! We dressed her as a witch, She wouldn't wear the hat though. SPlit second and it was thrown off!

A morning with Gwen involves her asking for o's ( Cheerios) and lounging in her pj's, watching a spot of tv and playing while either Chris or me sits in the sofa with a cup of tea.

Gwen can say lots of words now. She can tell me the names of numbers when shown and quite a few letters. 

Her favourite number is 8! She is saying new words all the time. Oh no, Bump head for example When she hurts herself.    She is a delightful happy little girl, she is quite stubborn however and never walks the way you want. She still staggers a bit, not very sturdy, but not sure if we need to see anyone about it? The eyes aren't better, the op didn't work!  Infact one turns up now too. Another op is on the horizon in maybe 6 months. :( 

Teeth are much the same 4 on top, 2 on bootm but she has the 4 big molars through, she is so out of order!!!

Our little smiler!!

A few Piccys

This one is post eye surgery, she was very sleepy for a long time! Poor little ladythis one is before the surgery in waiting room, in her pjs ready. She kept running in and out of the ladies room where other ladies were waiting for their surgery. I hope she cheered them up when they saw how tiny she was. 

Sorting out the new t shirt stock. Gwen wearing an extra small. 

Some new pjs and washed hair. 

  

 A rare one of us, my glasses ain't half wonky. Only wear then first thing though. 

Some from her walk with Nanna and Vicky yesterday. 

Gwens op

Just to update that Gwen had her eye operation last week and she's bounced back quite well. Eyes still appear to turn in at the moment but they need 3 weeks to settle. Quite stressful and upsetting as she's so little.

Gwen whining and talking. 19 months.

Gwen has had a few wingey days, hoping it just teeth related and its not a new thing. She gets frustrated at the drop of a hat! Others news, she can count to 6 by herself sometimes and can repeat most of the letters in the alphabet. Says quite a few words now, can name a few animals ( well last part of the name usually) giraffe is raffe for example. Says things like shoes, cat. Car. More. She also says 'oh dear' about everything!  She walks all the time now but still falls over, her ankles still look like they roll in so maybe balancing is harder? Her hair has got a lot blonder over the summer, getting a bit too long now too at the front. She doesn't always want to have hair bands in though!

Her eye operation has come through for the 10th oct. hmmm that day will be a bit of a worry!

We have a climber! Climbs up on things, can't really leave her anywhere but the lounge without a bit of mischief!

Sitting in the dolls pushchair. She kept wanting to get in herself so we got her her own armchair!

At whizz kids with Izzy.

In new arm chair, watching the tv!

Great gorillas project in Devon- this one was called lilo.
