Morning update on Gwen

She's almost 14oz and has a good appetite. Her bumbling abilities are growing by the hour. It's amazing the progress in just 2 days. Her teeth are definitely present.

Merlin and Gryff have grudgingly seemed to accept her, for the most part. Madoc is his usual hissy self. Arthur and Carys are staying out of it, although Carys' ears really perk up when Gwen mews.

I'm off to see my great-nephew, Oliver, today. When I get home I'll take some photos.
