Penny at the park

We took the Penster to the park over the weekend. She wasn't a big fan of the swing but she did enjoy the slide.

Penny is happy :)

We have liftoff

Penny is officially walking now. Check her out:

It's time to dance!!

Here's a quick vid of Penny getting down!

Penny's First Birthday (cupcake)

As Emily posted below, today is Penny's first birthday. Here's a video of her enjoying her first cupcake as a part of the celebration.

1 Year Old

Penelope is officially 1 year old as of 3:20 this afternoon. I cannot believe that a whole year has gone by, it has gone by so fast!! I am very thankful to have been a stay at home mom since she was born and I would not trade it for anything. She has gone from a brown eyed little thing of almost 7 pounds with crazy hair to a 20+ pound girl who is constantly on the move, with huge beautiful blue eyes and hair that actually lays flat. It has been a great year.

First Christmas and "walking"

Penny had a wonderful first Christmas. We started extra early this year on the 23rd so that we could celebrate with Uncle Joel, Aunt Abbie and cousin Ellie. Then we celebrated Grandpa H's birthday on the 24th with his traditional breakfast feast.

Penny got to play a sheep in this years impromptu Christmas pageant at church. She thought about crawling down the aisle but in the end daddy had to pick her up.

She received lots of fun toys from both sets of families. She now has two new toys that are helping her learn to walk. Here's a video from one of her first attempts:
