Gala!

Over the weekend we went to Ken Singleton's Gala fundraiser for the Cool Kids program. Not only did we get to dress up and get out together, they had killer crab cakes, we mingled with former Orioles greats, and a family friend at our table won an incredible signed photo of all the Orioles Hall of famers (Ripkin, Murray, Weaver, F. Robinson, B. Robinson, and Palmer) all together. Such a fun evening!

7 months old!

This cutie is getting so big! Gwen has one tooth, with a second close behind. She loves to eat anything we give her and loves feeding herself. Foods so far include avocado, sweet potato, peas, green beans, carrots, banana, and yogurt. At her well visit two weeks ago she weighed almost 16 pounds! She is a lot bigger than Emma and Will were, but this still only puts her in the 40th percentile. We're so grateful to have a happy, healthy kiddo!
