All dressed up to go play with toys and friends at church.
I love awkward sleeping baby pictures.
Playing with "cat" and her baby monitor. I mean, why not?
So sweet before her 12-month shots...
And sweet afterwards too! (This was after being quite mad and shedding a few tears.)
The things parents do to make their children smile....
Baby Luke...
Love me some new baby snuggles!
Swimming at the YMCA with Aunt Nikki and cousin, Jacob! So.much.fun.
JUMP!
First swimming lesson: Aunt Nikki teaching Gwendolyn how to kick, kick, kick.
Could she be any more hilarious and adorable?
First pickle, and she liked it!
Yep, this family went strolling along the streets of Eden Prairie. We were quite the sight.
Snuggle bug.
Ride, anyone?
(If you do ride with her, hold on tight.)
Finally Gwendolyn is interested in the baby.
Stopping to praise Jesus.
Uncle Greg was captivating while playing "Salad Bowl."
She is seriously such a trooper...totally past her bedtime but just loves being at the party.
Back rub from daddy.
Her new face when she sees a flash coming...
Easter Sunday:
Playing hard..
"Hugging" cat...so sweet!
Ring Around the Rosy (doesn't quite understand the "all fall down.")
Love them...
Just when I think I didn't take "any" pictures, I go back and see that I basically captured every moment. Ha. Would you expect anything else? C'mon now...
I LOVE this stage! She has picked up so much it seems overnight. I love that she can finally show her love back to us with hugs and kisses. In fact, just 10 minutes ago she backed up - with a rattle in each hand - and plunked down in my lap. Heart melted. She and I have shared so many special moments just today...
nursing and cuddling this morning
swinging at the park (she likes it again!)
watching birds and squirrels out in the back yard (we saw a Cardinal!)
sampling foods and flirting with employees at Trader Joe's (Gwendolyn, not me)
singing and dancing our hearts out to praise music
"playing" our new favorite game - Ring Around the Rosy
having a tea party with all of our stuffed friends
I love being a Mama and I love that she's my daughter!
Blessings to you this weekend!
