Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? Gwen did!!! I tell you what you can't look away for a second and wham something is different, but we do like different. At least we know that she likes Milanos. Yeah that is one for Cache Valley. Way to go Peppridge Farms. The girl knows where she comes from.
Somebody found out what the sink is for...I don't know who was supervising this little activity but I have a feeling that it may have been on my shift. Alright I will own up to it. So we played in the water for a little bit, but I will say that she is the one that figured out that she could touch it. She was sopping wet when she finished and that was only the beginning of the day. I do love a good adventure.
Well hello everyone this is the Barlow's. Yes this is a family photo of us, taken right in our own little home. Sorry about the red eyes, I was lazy and I forgot to edit them. But here is just a little update on what is going on in our lives. James is working for Emmis Communications and he is the webmaster, In all aspects of the phrase. He goes to work and then comes home and I make him work more. That is just how it is. I think that he really likes it, but he will never admit to it. Gwen and I stay home and do everything that comes with the term housekeeping. even if it means that somedays we just keep the house messy. I do get out just a little bit so that I can keep the funny tan lines, but really it is to try to stay cool, of course in the pool. Gwen is now six months old and she weighs as much as a two year old. Just kidding Gwen, but really she is quite big, but I really wouldn't change one little or big roll on her. She is sitting up and eating and she has a grip like the jaws of life, just look at our necks if you don't believe me. We are having a really good time here and I think that we just might stay for a little bit...that is until we are wisked away to another adventure. But until then we will be enjoying the sun all year round, and the BBQ, and the music, and the swimming, alright I think that I made my point. So maybe if any of you like one or all of these things you should pay Austin and us a little visit, the warning on that is you may not want to leave. Oh by the way this photo was taken before church we really don't normally dress like this all the time. How silly would that be if we did. Thanks for visiting our site and we hope that you continue to, and we will try to keep it entertaining just so that you will keep coming back.
After a hard day at work James (yes that is James without a beard) chooses to spend a little time with Gwen teaching her the in's and outs of the computer world. She amuses him and even gives him a little laugh all so that she can spend some more time with him. What a good sport, both of them. I love to watch them interact together.
So today (August 28th) I was watching Simone, and both she and Gwen were at the stage in the day where they had missed a nap or were hungry. I was trying to entertain both parties and everytime that one of them was set down they would cry, a chorus of crying. So my solution was that I would just carry both of them around for a while. Well it is really funny that while I was doing that they both settled down and were being so good, and I glanced down and Gwen totally had her eyes closed and was nodding off, and within thirty seconds Simone's head was bobbing and she was resting it on Gwen's back....thus the end result was my two new sleeping beauties. The really funny thing is that they stayed asleep like that for almost twenty minutes then Jillian came home and we had to seperate them. For next time I am planning the dog pile to happen while I am sitting down, If that could ever happen. Does this photo make me look lopsided? Or just like I have three heads?
Hey nobody told me that there was no winter here, how am I suposed to wear all my cute jackets? Well I guess that means that I'm outta here.
Gwen and Simone are fighting for the best close-up. It looks as though Simone has won yet again. Meanwhile Simone has the talent to do a little streching at the same time. Way to go. Gwen puts up her dukes,and spits out the bink, but it is too late.
Here we are just playing around...oh wait a second it appears that both Gwen and Simone are having a sitting up contest. You know that it is all about the compitition between these two. It all started with a little rough housing and now it is basically always a rematch.
We were watching Simone on Friday and she and Gwen were practicing a new dance routine called rolling together... and they literaly do. But this is only one of the tricks that they pulled out during the day.
I have the best little helper and she loves to do the laundry. Alright I don't know about loves to do the laundry, but she does seem to hang around a lot while I am doing it. Here she is giving me some tips and pointers on the best way to sit in a laundry tub. Thanks Gwen.
It is so funny that even in their sleep babies are in motion all the time. Here is a little picture of Gwen and she is doing a little bit of ballet during her nap. One leg straight out in the air. You know even with all the hard workouts she is still perfectly round and I really do love that.
well look what we have here....what a big girl! She is sitting up...well almost all by herself. She does is quite often and she really is getting good. I can't believe it. I feel like just last week she was only six pounds and not fitting into any of her clothes, now she is sitting up and eating cereal. Soon she will be running around. Then what?
Hello, let introduce my little kitchen helper...This is Gwen. She LOVES to be in the kitchen with me. She has her own little spot on the counter that she will sit and play as I do whatever I need to get done. She also likes to help watch me do the dishes. She is very good on the counter and I do hope that she will continue to want to play in the kitchen with me...soon she will be able to sit and play in the sink, that is going to be great! I love little helpers.
On Friday night we attended a little ward function and all the kids were playing in the kiddy pool and let me tell you that it was a ZOO!!! There were kids everywhere and they were hog wild. So we were letting Gwen play in the shallowest end and right by the edge so she didn't get trampled. After she was finished we bundled her up and the end result is just so sweet.
Here she is in the BUFF!!!! Gwen loves her baths, she is one kicking, splashing, giggling, water loving girl. And that is just a few things that we love about her. Also those amazing tan lines that she bears on her legs. You can tell that she likes to lay out. And drink bath water. what a fun little girl.
