Update on our busy weekend...

that doesn't include a new family member! So you know when you have a weekend and you look back and you think, that was a busy weekend, but it only seemed busy because you squeezed so much into Sunday that you feel like you were busy. And yet, you still don't have anything to show for it, like a new baby, but more stuff. We had visitors on Saturday, my Aunt & Uncle from MN were visiting Baltimore so they stopped by, hoping to catch a glimpse of the new baby. Obviously, that didn't work out, but Gwen was charming, although what else would expect from our little sweetheart. So much new stuff is going on with her, it seems, but I don't have time to tell you about that now. Suffice it to say, she talks our ear off, if we could only understand what she said before the last word of her sentences.

Gwen is now in the phase where we can get her to hug and kiss people when they leave. I missed the hug and the kiss pictures, but I did get Gwen smiling, while no one else was paying attention.
It takes the poor girl a while to warm up, but when she does, she doesn't want you to leave and she will get upset. And, when she realizes that she can be picked up by suckers, I mean our visitors she really enjoys your visit. Actually Aunt Mary pushed her on the swing, one of her favorite activities, so that made Aunt Mary a shoe-in. I can't promise that pushing Gwen on the swing will make her like you forever, I am just saying that is what is working now!
Gwen actually had the desire to sit on her potty this weekend, although she did not pee, she did not scream either. We are not actively potty training, but I did see some panties on sale this weekend and purchased them, so I am ready, when ever we do decide to pee on the potty.
Sunday was very busy. We drove to IKEA, which is not next door, Gwen did not nap, she was so overtired, but she refused to let herself sleep, just chatted up a storm. We also went to BBB, Target, Lowe's and HD. Now that Eric has finished all the inside heavy lifting/projects, we are now on fire to decorate, apparently. We (by we I mean Eric) put the carseat in the car. Gwen feels that she should now climb from her car seat to the new babies car seat. Great! More of a challenge to get her out of the car. She loves playing in the car, I don't know why.
Two more days to my due date, not feeling like it will happen at this point, we have started piling clothes on top of the bag, but not actually putting the clothes and stuff in the hospital bag. One day soon, I promise we will get that bag packed.
