So many firsts............

Gwen turned 10 months last week and she has had many firsts around the same time! She is still sleeping great at night and even takes 2 naps during the day. After a couple mishaps at daycare (smacked head and fat lip) things have settled down. She really loves her new daycare.

• She is finally crawling towards stuff she wants. She doesn't go too far yet, but she is starting to get it!
• She said "eye". She was poking me in the eye and I kept saying "eye, eye, eye". She repeated it numerous time. I am hoping "mama" will be coming soon, but whenever I say it she yells and/or laughs.
• With a little help from me (her foot was stuck), she pulled herself up on the ottoman.
• She has been trying so many new foods.........duck fat fries, tofu, pancakes, nectarines, plums, vanilla ice cream.......... This morning I had made her pancakes for the first time. She ate them just fine. Well I put some maple syrup on a piece and fed it to her. The look on her face was priceless. She started eating and then got the BIGGEST smile on her face. She loved it!!

Wish me luck. Tomorrow I go and ask my boss for a flexible work schedule where I work 4 days a week (10 hour days). That would give me Fridays to be "girls day"..........just Gwen and I.
