We had a pretty relaxed time celebrating mine and Henry's birthdays this month - went to the Museum of Flight for Henry's and mostly hung out at home on mine since Henry and Gwen were sick (runny noses, crankiness for Gwen). Bry got sick too after my birthday and I've just had some sneezing. Emma has been fine which is good.
Gwen's canine teeth have started to come through! She says some animal sounds now and says "MA!" when she really wants my attention, but still isn't saying much else. She knows a little sign language and can sign: milk, eat, more, please, banana, thank you, help, crackers. Mostly she screams or grunts when she gets frustrated or upset or is trying to get our attention, so that hasn't been fun but we're trying to help her with communicating. She is laughing more these days and that's been pretty great.
We got a dog almost 3 weeks ago now. He's almost 11 months old now. The first few days were dreadful for me emotionally and mentally but things have gotten better as he has gotten more settled and I've gotten to know him more. He's a great dog and we all like him.
