Mother Nature finally gave us a weekend with promise that winter truly is over and done with. Of course, that meant Dad was finally out of excuses when it comes to mowing the lawn (although he did get a slight reprieve on the weed-and-feed application because of some rain that never really transpired). Needless to say, lawn mowing is a pretty foreign concept to Braelyn and Gwendolyn. So, as Dad tamed the back yard, the girls stared in amazement out the back sliding door trying to figure out exactly what was going on.
With the warmer weather, came an excuse for Braelyn to continue her naked play days. Not only did our favorite hat make another appearance, but apparently Brae Bear is a big fan of shopping in her diaper. We suppose it offers comfort but we still aren't sure where she keeps her wallet!;)
Gwendolyn is getting closer than ever to going from the upright seated position into a crawling scenario. Yesterday, she would get her rump off the ground and nearly have her foot tucked fully underneath her... All that's left is for her to do is realize she needs to start walking her hands in front of her, thereby getting her torso parallel with the ground. The funny part came as Mom and Dad encouraged her on while she "practiced." Gwen would keep getting just to the brink of assimilating into the crawling position and would notice Mom and Dad clapping for her. So, she'd instantaneously revert back to sitting when she'd reach that vital moment so that she too could clap her hands. Soon, it became part of the routine for her to get right on the cusp of transitioning into the crawling position, only to stop and clap.
The moment she finally stops clapping and keeps moving forward won't be too far in the future we predict!
Go Gwenner!!!!!!!!!!!
