Obsessed with Art

We got this awesome easel from Bethany! Gwen has been in heaven every since. She loves to use chalk, paint or use crayons on the paper that we went to Ikea and bought. Just about anyone that she sees she makes something for them.

Colorful paints


The first time we used the paint we didn't have a paint brush or something to dump the paint onto. So she just used a sponge brush and dipped it into whatever paint she wanted. Of course the paint got mixed up but it was no big deal.

We waited until Penelope took a nap since she can stand up and reach the tray with the paint on it.

paint brush??


It was hard to get a great picture of Gwen's face since the easel was in the way, haha, but you can kind of see her concentrated look here. I love it!! It is such a Brett face.

So Concentrated


After alittle bit she just used her hands to spread some of the paint, it really is finger paint that we have anyway.

Messy hands


All done and waiting for it to be dried. Gwen gave this first creation to Aunt Kami. The bottom right corner has a shovel and so Gwen deemed this the Shovel Painting.

Finished


Trust me this was just the first of soooo many other art creations she has done. She loves it tons.

Penelope went to her first movie, Toy Story 3. We went with Brett's parents and Kami on a Friday night. Both the girls were great, we all loved the movie it was so funny and clever.

Happy girl!


Penelope also had her first tooth break through during the movie, which surprised me since Gwenie didn't get her first tooth until she was 1 year old.

Loves being outside


ok. That was all of our firsts so far. Here are just some other stuff that we have been doing. Just hanging out in the backyard watching Gwenie swim.

Relaxing


Gwen has been going through a Sesame Street phase and the other day she was eating soup and said, "Cookie Monster eats like this!" Then proceeded to show me. I then went to get the video since I thought it was hilarious.



Now I am all caught up and ready to leave tomorrow for my parents! I am so excited to hang out with them. Then we are off to go and stay with Erin! Between my Mom and Erin expect alot of sewing to be going on!!!!!
