Nina's Birthday

August 29th was Nina's birthday and what better way to spend it than with family!

When Nina and Coya got to Penny's house, she was still asleep in Grandpa Ed's arms.



So we packed her up in her stroller and walked to M. Henry.


Three guesses as to who they are (were) staring at.


Back at home, Penny rocks out to some Zeppelin. Where is there a lighter when you really need one?


Coya tells Penny a good knock knock joke.


This is a very funny picture of P.Lo.


P gives Nina a kiss. Or tries to bite her.


In no time, she'll be sitting up by herself.


Fast forward to dinner time and everyone is at Feed for the second time in 5 days. But man, that chicken is good!

Mommy and Penny and Nina. The table next to us couldn't stop talking about how cute Penny was. Obviously, she was the cutest baby in the room.


Daddy only had brussel sprouts and pie because 10 minutes earlier, a slice of pizza was accidentally devoured.


Patty was the first in a long line of people who wanted to hold the baby.


Of course Penny needed her Coya time.

Penny Turns 1 (Month)

And what did she want to do for her 1/12th birthday? She wanted to go to Feed and because we want to spoil her rotten, we obliged.


Unfortunately, she slept through the meal, so I had to eat her quarter white with mashed potatoes and coleslaw.


Mommy and Daddy were going to Auntie Feyi's wedding which was down the street from Coya and Nina's house, so they got to spend the afternoon with Lil Pee Pee:




Penny got to meet Neighbor Moe, who bought an outfit just for her, but for when she's a little bit bigger.


Penny mistakes Coya for a Popeye's chicken leg.

One Month!

Penelope is one month old today!

She's gained almost 2 pounds. Her neck is getting stronger every day. She's awake and alert for longer periods of time. She boxes in her sleep. And overall 100 times cuter, if that's possible.
Last weekend, she got to meet her Aunt Christa, her Uncle Brian and her cousins, Nolan and Aaron. Unfortunately, I didn't get my camera until this week, so no pictures.

I did, however, get pictures yesterday!

Penny has sweet dreams in Mommy's arms.


Someone peed on Mommy while she was being changed:


That person got a quick sink bath. And no privacy!


Nina and Penny, BFF:




Somebody is c-r-a-b-b-y!




Coya's finger saves the day!


All good now.



Penny plots how she can steal Coya's necklace.


Lost in a sea of Coya:





Take that!




Tired!

New Camera!

Well Coya just bought me an early birthday present, which will enable me to document every (waking or sleeping) moment of Penelope's life. Expect more posts starting next week!

Saturday Morning Surprise

Mommy sent a cameraphone photo of Penny! Judging from the wide awake eyes, I'd say it was taken at about 4am.

Active Baby

Well luckily for us, Grandma Carol had a camera when she came to visit! Thanks for sharing the photos!



Penny does more than sleep all day...


She turns and stretches.


She makes cute faces.


She mysteriously conjures up a blanket.


And she gives derisive looks to the camera.

No updates

She's still cute.

Unfortunatly, Irma needed her camera back and I have to settle for human contact without technology with Penny.

Until I buy a new camera, that is...

Who's Got the Crack?

Penny does.

It's Her Party and I'll Cry If I Want To

The return of Moo Dang!

Mommy's Birthday

It was Mommy's birthday last night and Penny was on her best behavior, staying up after being fed and hardly being fussy.


Well, mostly.


But P-lo wa hungry and that made her hangry! Here's baby having an appetizer while her bottle gets warmed up.


Family portrait:


Coya wants to squeeeeeze the baby!


And bite her toes!


And now, a montage of sleeping baby photos...
