Summer Fun

Time for an update! Well, two weeks ago Gwen went to see the pediatrician again. It was time for her first shots! Let's just say that our little princess wasn't too thrilled with getting her vaccinations! Other than that Gwen is perfectly healthy and she weighed in at 11 lbs 11 oz and she's now 23 3/4 inches long! So, she grew almost 2 inches in 3 weeks - can we say grew spurt!?!?! The big accomplishments lately have been that Gwen has rolled from her tummy to her back and she slept a whole 7.5 hours straight! I also believe she is starting to teeth - the drool is coming in droves, and she's chewing on her fingers like crazy!

Last week we traveled to Ohio to visit family. This was Gwen's first big road trip! And surprisingly she did really well in the car. She got to meet a lot of new people too! She met both of her great grandmas and she met her Aunt Joyce and her other two cousins, Caden and Conner.... This weekend we're traveling to Pennsylvania and she'll get to meet all of our Penn State friends. Hopefully she likes traveling - because she'll be doing a lot of it!

Still no word on the house yet, the short sale is still pending. Although, the bankruptcy court approved the sale just as long as we get the short sale approval! Hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll know more. I think we're both hoping to get in there while the it is still summer out - we want to make sure that pool is working well ;-) We'll keep you updated!

Sick baby

Well, kids get sick. That's what they do. I really never realized how much it pulls at your heart strings to see your child sick. The poor little thing has the sniffles pretty bad. It hasn't dented her cheery attitude one bit. She'll giggle, snease, then giggle some more. I'm don't nearly have the same high spirits as Gwen. While I don't mind the little presents that she typically leaves for us, this is one bug that I wouldn't mind if she kept to herself. Laura has been somehow, mysteriously immune. Damn her superhuman immune system (just kidding). Oh well, we'll get better.
Little Gwen has a doctor's appointment today. The doc will probably give her a check over to make sure she's doing well, but she's really going in to get her immunizations. After all the hoopla about autism and immunizations, we've been a bit hesitant to give her the whole battery shots. However, we feel that the benefits outweigh the risks. Hopefully, now that they have taken the mercury out of the immunizations, the risk is close to nill.
