Gwyn Update

Here are some updates on our big girl:

She says a lot of words.  I tried counting, and it has to be close to 100.  Some of her (and our) favorites are: Colin, Bubby (which is both brother and Kevin), strawberry, blueberry, Corduroy (the bear), bus, airplane, cheek, chin, nose, mouth, eye, hair, mummy, daddy, noooooo!, fish, moo (what most of her animals say), jacket, bean, bear, meow, doggy.  She is not only saying mulitsyballic words, but also putting words together.  Mostly, it is words with please.  The most common one is either "book please" (which sounds like "bu eeeee) or "up please" (ba eeeeee).  For those two words sounds kind of iffy, you would be shocked to hear how clear her bigger words are!  (Although jacket is still ya-eeeee.)

Her stats: weight- 26 pounds (85%)  height- 34 inches (95%) 9 teeth (FINALLY one came in in the back, but still waiting on the others...)

Her favorite books: In A People House, He Bear, She Bear, Goodnight Moon, a book on colors with textures and smells, and Sleeping Beauty

Her favorite foods: bananas, beans, ham

Her favorite activities- reading books, taking care of stuffed animals/dolls, reading books, play peek-a-boo, read books, dance, snuggle, suck thumb while holding her corner of her blanket (each blanket has a special corner), play with brothers

She is a strong-willed girl.  She lets you know what she wants!  She yells a lot already.  Often, very often, she squeals loudly, and laughs loudly.  She is our loudest child.  But they are happy squeals, so it is hard to get mad at her.  She has to do anything her brothers do, and doesn't like to be told that she can't do things.  She loves to chase her brothers around and scream with them.  The boys are PHENOMENAL with her.  They often stop playing to chase her and run around, or wrestle.  She is so happy she screams.  They both take care of her as well, and Kevin gets her down from her chair in the kitchen, and Colin keeps her in the grass when I pick them up from daycare.  When she fusses, the boys are sometimes there before Kevin or I even ask for help.  They look out for her!
