Holy cow. Seriously I can't believe that its been ONE year! We had a fun little mini party on Gwen's actual birthday. Just us and the grandparents. It was so great having my parents in town to help celebrate. Gwen had her first taste of cake. A little preview to get her ready for her big shin-dig. Then we opened some gifts. Cooper of course loved helping with that.

Big Brother - Helping Out
I'm not going to lie. At times Cooper has had a hard time adjusting to Gwen. But as time goes by it gets better and better. He still has moments of being kinda ornery. Ok really ornery.. (not sure if I spelled that right). But anyway then there will be really sweet moments. Like this when he insisted on helping feed Gwen. And she really loved it. It was a good opportunity to feed her something new. I think she would eat anything that Cooper gave her, she just thought it was the best having him give her the food.
Gwen 11 Months
* Crawling like a pro. She is super fast. And into everything. She will play with toys for a few minutes, then she is off to the next adventure.
*She starting say "Hi".
*She is so incredibly social. We go out to eat and she can't wait to start smiling at people. She looks around and even scopes people out. She will stare at people until she get their attention and they start paying attention to her.
*She loves to eat. She has taking everything I have give her. Except she wasn't crazy about avocado. She is doing great with table foods. Everything time I introduce something new, she eats it easily. So far she has had: Shredded cheese, cottage cheese, baby yogurt, cooked carrots, peas, broccoli, pieces of noodle, mashed potatoes, sweet potato, banana, pear (ripe), peach, tortilla, and I'm sure I have missed some.
*She was a great traveler on the way to Oklahoma. He longest road trip yet. 9 or 10 hours.
*She likes to pull up on her knees by our living room windows. She see her reflection and gets excited. Or she will talk.
*She starting fulling pulling (or pushing up). On the window sill.
*She loves and wants everything of Cooper's. Even though she really can't have most of it.
*She loves his giant box of legos. She can't quite do it, but she knows they go together somehow.
*She wants to play Ninja Turtles with us. She will even pick up a sword and hold it up.
*She loves going for walks, she is totally mellow and zoned out. Or going to the park and watching Cooper play on the jungle gyms.
*She is not the best at church or quiet places. Because she likes to bang on the pews or she squeals or talks loudly. But she is getting better. She loves smiling at everyone.
*We retired the baby car seat and moved on to the convertible car seat.
