Gwen’s been busy.

She learned that windows make a great racket when you smack them repeatedly with baby palms. She obviously hated that.

I really just posted this picture here, though, because it was a better photograph than the ones that follow. They’re pretty bad- busy background, flashy. But, they’re amazing, nonetheless.

I finally remembered to pick up tiny little hair-bands at Target. And then forgot. I remembered them shortly before bedtime- I just HAD to play. And because I had to have photographic evidence of that, I decided that it was also a good time to see if I could grab a photo of Gwen doing her newest trick!

So, this- THIS- is the first picture ever, of Gwen standing up.

Fabulous, right? Ha! Yes, that’s the kid who used to run FROM the camera.

Um… so, this is the second photo of Gwen standing up- and it just so happens to feature her first whale spout, too.

Then after changing her for bed, I decided to go for the gold- pigtails. And I may have had to distract her with a Target bag (which was clearly marked to keep away from Children, at least 7 times) to get a picture of them- but, I’ll be…

We have achieved pigtails. PIGTAILS!!

Okay, so maybe it’s more like a double whale spout…
