Are you ready to cheer for a certain, energetic, determined, laughing-at-herself, nearly two-year-old beauty who just stood up from the ground by herself for the first time two nights ago?!?
I'd wager by the end of the week she'll be a pro at this new skill! One "step" closer to walking!!!

SUCH A DETERMINED LITTLE LADY! She'll be a pro in no time!
ReplyDeleteAWSOME!!!
ReplyDeletePrecious! You are both in trouble now ... :) the best kind that is :)
ReplyDeletewhat HUGE strides she has made and those glasses are adorable on her....loving the pink!!
ReplyDeleteSuch determination! Is there any way to get her to put her feet closer together? (like when Tricia is holding her feet at the beginning) When my youngest was doing physical therapy for some low muscle tone issues, I remember a discussion about strapping his legs together.
ReplyDeleteShe is so nearly standing alone - it won't be long before she's running around all over.
ReplyDeleteA very happy birthday to her for tomorrow! I hope you all have fun - and just think of next year, when she'll know all about it!
reat Job . . .precious times!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I am not the only parent who laughs when their small child falls over in attempts to mobilise...lol!!! She is doing SO well - considering that she wouldn't have been 2 until April ( I know that, not because I remember her due date, but that I am due a baby end of APril and am 24 weeks and 3 days right now - about what Gwyneth was when she was born!). Go Gwyneth! xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat determination! You guys are such awesome parents with all of that encouragement. Thanks for sharing such a precious moment with us.
ReplyDeletecongrats! love the music you put to it!
ReplyDeleteShe's doing GREAT!! YAY Gwyneth. Something tells me that she's determined just like her momma!
ReplyDeleteawesome!!! knowing gwyneth she will have this down in a couple of days...she doesnt give up
ReplyDeleteI LOVE her determination!!!!!! Go Gwyneth!
ReplyDeleteshe's doing so great. I was impressed with how quickly she figured out to put her feet further apart for better balance and how good she is at getting her hands out when she's falling. she's doing amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious video to watch! Having followed your blog since she was born, I feel blessed have seen her grow! What a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI love it! What determination and patience. She'll have it in no time.

LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL!!!
Definitely A LOT of energy and determination. Such a blessing! And so cute.
ReplyDeleteawesome!!
ReplyDeleteshe is working sooooo hard!
I have never posted a comment on here before even though I have followed this blog since Tricia was pg with the princess. Shame on me for not posting sooner....BUT, I had tears in my eyes watching this and wanted to let you know. There are many "strangers" out there, like myself, who have fallen in love with your family through your journey. I am SO PROUD of her!! What an accomplishment. The whole time I was watching it, I kept saying to myself, she was born so early and look at her now!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the excellent work Mommy & Daddy!!

That's probably about the cutest thing I've seen in a while. Her glasses up her cuteness factor by about 110%. Her determination is awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy brother is Downs and I can remember we had a goal to have him walking 100% by his 3rd birthday. We had a really long hallway, I can remember my sister and I sitting at each end, and throwing a ball back and forth so he would walk up and down the hall. But I'm pretty sure she's going to be running by her 3rd birthday!
Between Gwyneth and Stellan, I'm a bucket of tears over here. That is so awesome. I love how she sticks her bottom way high up. So cute!! And the music adds a lot to the video too. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeletehow cute is she!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a precious video showing her will and determination! such a big girl~love the glasses. keep up the good work gweneth~ much love and blessings from ga~erin

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this Nate! Its fantastic to be able to see how well Gwyneth is doing! Too cute!! And I absolutely love her determination! I was watching this without sound, but it was too funny watching her try and try again. But she is trying and trying and that is what is so great! Congrats Gwyneth!! Can't wait to see you walking!
ReplyDeleteawww,!! I'm not big on commenting but I just had to stop in and say CUTEST.VIDEO.EVER. !!!!!
ReplyDeleteso adorable!!! She had laughing and tearing up at the same time. :o)
She was just waiting until she was 2 to show you her skills.
ReplyDeleteGo Gwyneth,go!! We went threw this a few months back with our preemie, and I remember how wonderful it felt to watch it happen! This was wonderful, and thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteshe is the wiggliest little girl I've ever seen! I just love how that little puppy toy kept distracting her. Kids are so fun to watch! I found myself cheering along! Go Gwyn!
ReplyDeleteHappy second birthday, Gwyneth!!!!!!!! :-D
ReplyDeleteShe is one determined little girl! I love the way Meka is trying to get in on the action too!! Too adorable, thanks for sharing these moments in your lives.
ReplyDeleteAwe, she's so cute! What a fast little crawler she is. She's almost got this standing up thing licked--walking won't be far behind, I bet.
ReplyDeletewow...that is a strong, determined, cute little blessing!

I cheered for her as if she was my own. What great strides she has made. I am amazed all the time how far she has come since her birth. God has blessed her so much!!

ReplyDeleteHow awesome! I can't believe it has been 2 years already. She has such fierce determination. She has come a long way and is such a fighter. Hmm..I wonder where she gets that from? ;) Her momma, no doubt!

Wow - she was really determined to stand up! She is a trooper! Happy Birthday !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, she is so determined and with her determination she will go far and fast.
ReplyDeleteIt brings back memories for me. My daughter was 25 weeks and did not walk until she was 32 months old. She is still a bit wobbly but doing amazing for her early arrival.
Have you started physio with Gwyneth? Through my daughter's phsyiotherapist we learned way to help her get to standing and to strengthen her preemie low tone.
I check on Gwyneth frequently and am in awe of her cuteness.
She seems very energetic!
ReplyDeleteY'all she is PRECIOUS! I am so amazed at her determination, playfulness, dedication and sweet spirit! You guys are doing a FANTASTIC job!
ReplyDeleteLove and blessings,
Kenzie
What a smile to my face your little miracle girl brings! So sweet and so strong and so determined. Nothing will hold that girl back.
