Baby Prison!

The other evening I was in the kitchen and realized I wasn't hearing any baby noises. I went to see what Gwen had gotten into and found her half way up the stairs. She had figured it out!
So, we have busted out her prison gate and she absolutely hates it! Especially if  Adam and Tessa are upstairs and she is trapped downstairs with mom. She stands at the gate and shakes it as hard as she can while she yells at the older kids. It is pretty funny to watch. I am glad she loves her brother and sister so much. Yesterday morning when Adam got out of the car to go to school, Gwen burst into tears. It was so cute! I can't believe how fast she is growing and how much personality such a little person can have.





Pumpkin Carving Party

On Sunday evening, we went over to Matt and Briette's new house for a pumpkin carving party. The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins and carving their pumpkins! 
 Bampa with August and Gwen
For some reason Gwen does not like to be held or even looked at by the Nielson boys-including Bampa. She didn't cry when he held her on Sunday, but she would not look at him and she would not smile.
 Uncle Ryan and Baby August
 I didn't get a picture of their finished pumpkins, but Adam carved a Cougar pumpkin and Tessa carved a face with a tongue sticking out. 
 Love Eric's face-he's trying to get Tessa to touch the pumpkin "brains".
 Aunt Angel and Zeke
 Ellie and Uncle Matt
Poor Gwen was wiped out and was fast asleep by the time we got home. She sleeps like her mommy:)
