I just wanted to share some recent pics of my sweet Penny Lou. She is growing up more and more each and every day. I can't even believe it sometimes! In two months she has her 18 month Dr apt and I just don't know where the time has gone. She is the sweetest little love!! I mean of course like all one year olds she has her moments I just feel so lucky they are pretty few and far between. She has been walking and running for a little over 3 months now. And has also been paci free for about 3 months too. She is wearing mostly 24 month or 2T clothes but still can fit into some 18 month. Her feet are finally growing a bit and she's at a size 5 but still can fit into some 4s. She still has a pretty good appetite but is becoming more and more picky as the days go by. We do have a rule in this house however, you eat what is made or you don't eat at all. I figure, she will eat it if she's hungry. And most of the time she does. She LOVES music and LOVES to dance. She loves to play dress up and pretend and carries her stuffed babies/animals all over everywhere. She is becoming more daring and has learned how to go down the stairs "on her bottom, one step at at time" (I have to be sure to remind her or she just walks off and ends up rolling down). She is the cutest little mimic and if anyone coughs or sneezes she is quick to copy and she thinks its hilarious. She is trying very hard to say words and gets very frustrated if there is something she can't communicate to us. She does really well at identifying animal noises and can point out many body parts. We had tried some sign language a while back and it surprises me what she remembers. She has been signing "more" and "all done" and "milk" to help her communicate better. Its crazy what she picks up on. She LOVES Harry our cat. She follows him all around and pets and kisses him. Her want and need to be more independent makes for some new challenges but Corey and I are learning together how to help her grow and give her whatever it is she needs to strive. Her personality is just infectious. She loves to smile and laugh and tries to make everyone else smile and laugh too. Her expressions light up the room and make my days as bright as can be. I can't help but watch and play and laugh with her all day long.
A little pool time fun with Daddy. She is learning to blow bubbles and kick her little legs. It is the CUTEST!!
All snuggles after bath time.
Fell asleep while eating :)
My little love!!
Kisses for baby Hannah. She is going to be the best big sis!
Making faces. ALWAYS making faces :)
Smile that lights up the room
Hanging with Daddy. She is a TOTAL Daddy's girl.
Santa Monica with Meema.
She LOVED the street performers on 3rd Street in Santa Monica. She danced for all to see and cried when we had to leave!
Petting Zoo at the farmers market in Santa Monica. The goats nibbled on her fingers she "Moo"ed to the cows and she sat with the chickens.
Meema bought her this beautiful balloon tiara and she would not take it off! She loved it.
Selfie queen! She even holds up her pretend phone and says "cheese"
My little ham!! I love her more and more each and every day and just can't imagine my life without her. She is my angel.
