Today is Gwen's 6 week birthday! We are on our trip to Illinois and having a lot of fun. She has made the past month and a half so fun. Here are all of my pictures from September.

Gwen's First Roadtrip
This past weekend we decided to take Gwen to visit my sister's family in Tucson. I want her to get very used to being on the go, and to our surprise she was so good. Her and I spent most of Thursday and Friday getting ready for the trip. I had to pack a lot of stuff for a little trip. Luckily, she is very well behaved and can entertain herself for a good 15-30 minutes while I get stuff done. She entertains herself by laying naked on her lamb playmat. It's her favorite thing to do; she just kicks and squeals, it is so cute!
We got to Katie's Friday night in time to let Gwen be snuggled and be awake since she slept the whole way there (we only had to stop 1 time to feed/change her on a 7 hour trip). Saturday we had a lazy day and just took Gwen for a walk, cooked, went to Subway, and to the pool.
Saturday night Katie and her friends had their monthly themed dinner parties and it happened to be Katie's turn to host. The theme this week was Italian and there was tons of good Italian food to be eaten. She had almost 50 people at her house (lots of kids!). Diggy had fun playing! Lexie went to a Youth Group party, but got home in time to talk with Katie and I for a bit and hold Gwennie. She's so good with her!
Sunday morning we left pretty early before Katie and her family went to church. Tate and Ells played with Gwen for a little in their PJ's before we had to go.
When we got home Sunday night we gave Gwen her first real non-sponge bath. Her belly button finally healed, so she got to take a bath in the tub. She loved it and was so good!

I hope she is as good this coming Friday as she was for last weekend's travels. This time we head to Illinois! A lot further, but the flight is shorter than the drive we had to make. Wish me luck! I'm just praying she is good on the plane!

Gwen's First Pictures
We took Gwen to get her newborn pictures when she was 10 days old. It was so fun to watch the photographer pretty much mold her into poses like clay while she was fast asleep. I was really happy with them. There were TONS but here is one I have the rights to and the link to a few the photographer posted on her blog.

Our Week Without Visitors
Gwenna and I have had a lot of bonding time this week, now that it's just the two of us during the day! I love love love every minute we spend together! We spend our days going to get coffee, going for walks, rocking in the chair, etc. She had a doctor appointment on Friday and weighs 9 lbs. 9 oz. now. 
This weekend we took her on two fun outings. Friday night we went to Prado for dinner and Saturday we went out for brunch/mimosas. She is so easy to take anywhere!
We also are very well rested! The doctor told me that I do not need to wake her up to feed her in the night anymore, so the past two nights she has slept 6 hours straight! Only having to get up once in the night to feed her has made such a difference!
We feel so lucky! Gwen's just the best thing that's happened to us!

Aunts/Cousin Weekend for Gwen
After extending her trip an extra two days, my mom finally had to go back to Illinois. We had so much fun having her here and she was so much help, so it was sad for her to leave. Thankfully, my two sisters and their kids (minus Cal and Scarlett) came to San Diego for Labor Day Weekend. Kristie and Sylvie flew in from Illinois and Katie and her kids drove here from Arizona.
Kristie and Sylvie got here Friday afternoon. They got to meet Gwen and we went out for lunch.
Saturday we went to their hotel pool most of the afternoon. Adam and Gwen stayed in the hotel room for part of the time, but Gwen got to put her suit on and come to the pool area with us for a little bit. She looked cute and was so good!
Saturday night we went to Tin Fish and ate dinner outside. Then we went back and sat in the hot tub.
Sunday we went to Coronado out for lunch. They stayed and went to the beach, but I think Gwen's still a little too small to take, so we went home and just hung out with her. That night everyone came over to our condo for dinner and a mini birthday party for Sylvie.

Katie and her kids came over for breakfast but then had to head home. It was a short weekend, but so much fun and good to have them here! Thanks for coming Katie and Kristie!
