Visitors for Gwydion!

We had a great time last week visiting with Chris and Katy. Gwydion loved spending time with his uncle and aunt- he always had someone to play with or to carry him around and show him things. We went to the zoo and to the museum, where they had a traveling exhibition of artifacts from Machu Picchu. We were very sorry to see them go! Enjoy the pics :)

An otter takes an interest in Gwydion.

I don't know what that is, but I like it!

Hi Mommy!

Playing with some of my Easter presents in front of the new garden.

Wow, the back of Daddy's truck is cool!

Look, I'm feeding myself yogurt with a spoon!

Riding the scooter *and* playing the piano!

I've wrecked the living room, aren't I clever? That's what they get for putting up gates! Haha!

I improvised this seat all by myself!

Yes, I've been eating dirt. Sit down and I'll tell you all about it.

Helping Mommy with the garden (by knocking over the water pitcher, of course!)

You'll never get those pants on me, Mama!

Time is flying!

Gwydion is now 11 months old and he doesn't seem like a baby at all any more! He's standing by himself for a minute or so at a time, he climbs everything like little monkey, and he's constantly trying to talk. He can say 8 words now: cat, dog, duck, dada, hat, hi, mama, and that. Admittedy, very few people understand what he means but he knows what he's saying and so do we!
He eats almost everything we eat and is learning to use a spoon by himself. He's mastered a sippy cup, though he only uses it with meals. We're eagerly awaiting his first birthday! I'll post pics as soon as we have them. Above are some recent pics, enjoy! If you're interested in having copies of any of these pictures, click the title to this post.
