Christmas Time

Penny loves all the Christmas decorations around the house!! When we walk around she points things out and says "please" because she wants to play with all the decorations. Yes, she says please, it is her first word, with her insane appetite we had to teach her a nice way of asking for more food rather then screaming. We are very excited for her first Christmas and her first birthday!!!

Actual Crawling

Penny started crawling over the Thanksgiving holiday. She can only do it for short distances at the moment but she's getting better. Here's a quick video showing her progress.

Trunk or Treat

We took Penny to Kyle and Krista's church for Trunk or Treat. Here are some fun pics of Penny is her Giraffe costume. SO CUTE.

Ryne loved running around collecting candy, then was very sweet about sharing with Penny.

Reverse Crawling

Penny still isn't crawling in the traditional sense, but tonight she decided to try something a little different.

Camera Crazy

It was quite the weekend between professional shots of the three cousins and grandpa taking his own pictures. I have put a lot of grandpa's shots in September's album. I deleted at least half but there are still a ton so don't say I didn't warn you.
Penny still is not crawling but rolling everywhere.

Big Girl

Penny is now holding onto furniture and trying to stand on her own. Though mom and dad continue to try, she has zero interest in crawling. Most people thought she would be walking by 10 months, not gonna happen. She has learned how to hold her bottle while eating, which is sooner then Ryne ever did (not that we are comparing :-). She is also starting to mimic people; she will clap, slap the table and trying to repeat daddy's monkey noises. She is growing up faster then we can keep track of.

Rolling

Penny is now rolling all over the place which means she is sleeping on her stomach and nights are going much better; however, she is teething so she is much crabbier and has learned how to shriek when she is upset much to mom and dad's frustration. She is getting better each day at feeding herself puffs but is showing no interest in crawling.
