First gift

Gemma's birthday party is still 6 days away, and the gifts have already started coming. She got a Cozy Coup from Nana and Papa a little early, and I'm not kidding when I say...She absolutely LOVES it. The faces and giggles she made when she first got it were priceless, I wish I could have captured those on camera or video. Of course the camera was not charged at the time, and I didn't know where the video recorder was. These are still pretty cute, they definitely capture how much she enjoys her Coup...Thanks Nana and Papa!
I have a few videos I need to post soon, I just don't have the time today...maybe tomorrow :)

New riding toys

I got Gemma a little walking/riding toy at a friend's garage sale. She loved it instantly. David and I were both impressed she could walk with it and not lose control on the first try.

Gemma's likes chairs that move, especially this one. She usually gets a couple of rides a day.

This is an excited Gemma

Gemma learned how to crawl at 10 months, and everyone keeps guessing as to when she'll be walking. She's pretty fearless and seems to be learning new things every day. My guess is she'll walk by 13 months...we'll see. Regardless, she's loads of fun. Her vocab keeps expanding which is so fun. Her latest word is "Silas"....(for anyone who doesn't know, Silas is her cousin). I wish he could have been in the car when she said it.

This is the only way Gemma likes watching Baby Einstein now...standing.

Fist time she had grilled cheese...she didn't say a word the entire time she ate. Very unlike her.

She LOVES riding toys.

Pumpkin Patch

We went out to the pumpkin patch with the Dunne's today. It was a lot of fun. Gemma seemed to like it okay, so I'm excited to go again next year when she's a little older and knows what's going on.
