Xmas Pictures!

Why, yes, Santa, I've been very good.



Xmas morning and the entire family is waiting for Grandma Carol to arrive. Penny takes a sneak peek at the presents under the tree.


F the things inside the boxes, P-lo likes the shiny bows.


I didn't open it, I swear!


Really, is this the face of someone who is lying to you?


Xmas bath!


And back to the presents...this time Penelope is interested in a different bow.

Happy Holidays!

While we wait for the Xmas picture technical difficulties to resolve themselves, let's flash back to the Saturday before Christmas, when Papa, Mommy, Nina, Irma and Penelope did the stupidest thing ever. They went to Woodfield Mall, one of the largest malls in Illinois. On the Saturday before Christmas. And because they had made the trek, they stayed longer than they wanted to to get as much "value" as they could.

Penny has never seen so many people!


Heeeeelllllp!


The day started fantastically, though, with lunch in the food court of the Japanese mall in Arlington Heights. No pictures, though, because the adults were too hungry.

Also, the Friday before Xmas, we had dinner celebrating Papa's birthday, at Francesca's, the place Nina and Coya found out about Penny, almost exactly one year ago. Not to brag, but several of the gays came over to tell us how beautiful the baby was. But we already knew. And no pictures of the cute baby because, again, adults were hungry.

These photos were taken yesterday and Penny is training for the circus! Clown college is ALOT cheaper than an out of state school, Papa!



P-lo is SO CHEEKY!

Making googly eyes at the remote? Mommy's side of the family.

17 Weeks

Oh man! Things have been hectic. No time to post.

Here's a picture of P-lo at her favorite restaurant, Sweet Tomatoes, contemplating the day she can have some of that herbed turkey soup.


Cute baby pictures:



Looking fierce in a dress and mohawk.


Penny works her core. I'm sorry, but babies don't get any cuter than this. My favorite picture of the year!

16 weeks?

I'm getting confused by age in weeks. All I know is that Penny was exactly 4 months old the last time I posted and that was last week, so she's 4 months and one week old today.

She just went to the doctor and she weighs 14lbs, 2oz. She's 24 inches. Both about average. But the big news is her head! 75th Percentile! Big Head Penny! Big head, big brain, I always say.

Don't remember when this photo was taken. I do remember someone had a melt down right after it was taken. Possibly because of the unending flash.


A fake smile if I ever saw one.


Yes, that's drool on the front of P-lo's shirt, but let's not dwell on that. Let's concentrate on how cute she is.



Penny tries on my hat.


When I opened the curtains, Penelope freaked out! A whole other world! And her first snowstorm!




Finger lickin' good!
