Penny is 18 months old

No swim diaper = diaper helmet(you should have seen her try to walk in that thing)


Stinker smile

I have been a lame-o with documenting Penny's milestones etc. I guess the important thing is that I've kept her alive and she seems like a happy kid. So, let me tell you about Penny. She seems to have mastered the frowny face recently. It's the perfect upside down U. It breaks my heart. I'm thinking she is going to be the sensitive type. Not surprising considering who her parents are. She recently mastered climbing on the couch but doesn't know how to climb back down. She laughs and smiles a lot. She is pretty good about trying out new foods. Bless her heart for being a good eater. It's definitely a relief. Her vocab is still limited but she'll catch on. I don't know how much she weighs but I think she's between 20-25lbs. She is a strong little girl. I recently took her to the beach and it was a wrestling match. A very sandy messy wrestling match. Sometimes I think she is stronger than I am. Well, that about wraps things up. Penny is a sweet little morsel. I love her to bits. What more can I say...

Campbell's Fashion Show

Lately Campbell is in dress-up mode. This means I take dresses on and off fifty times a day. She picks out her wardrobe and I just do what I am told. Here are some of her hits and misses.

In primary they had a blind fold exercise involving a bandana covering the eyes. Some of her fashion choices were inspired by that experience.


She wanted to put on her swimsuit. She has not been swimming since last summer so I was impressed that she new the top and bottom were a match.

Tights and and a shirt. Yes please. I see some gals around here wearing leggings that look more like tights. Perhaps that is what inspired this look.
I think one of the many positive things we/I can take away from this is that she is wearing more clothing in general. I love my little fashionista.

Happy Birthday Penny!

We had a pretty low key birthday yesterday. Penny didn't seem to mind. I just thought I should document a few facts and figures about our Penny. I went back and read Campbell's 1st birthday post and it was fun to reminisce about what she was doing back then.

-crawling
-pulling herself up to furniture and the wall
-walking along furniture
-the only word she really says is mama but is trying to say uh oh(sounds like gah go)
-favorite food, graham crackers
-celebrity look a-like, tweetie bird
-according to the bathroom scale she is 20.5 lbs
-tooth count, 2 on the bottom and 2 on the way
-talents, grinning ear to ear, melting hearts
-LOVES taking baths



I couldn't ask for a sweeter, happier little baby. Heavenly Father did us a solid by sending her our way. This year has brought us so many changes and it has been so wonderful to have such a good baby. Campbell loves her sister too. She has tried to wake her up from naps just to play with her. Fun, right? Eh. It is fun to see the sister dynamic. One day they will be fighting over clothes and bathroom time. Oh sisters.
