Penelope

Halloween 08: The year of The Butterfly and The Snail

This year for Halloween Scout wanted to be a butterfly (or a sheep?) but NOT a “scary monster.” Penelope didn’t get to choose…I felt the call of the snail for her. I couldn’t find a snail costume in her size so I enlisted my fabulous costumer, Alison, to make one. I showed her Scout’s butterfly [...]

You can always buy shoes!

Yesterday Miss P had her 6 month checkup. He weighed in at 12lbs 13oz (3rd %tile). She is 23.5 inches long (34th %tile) and I don’t remember what her head measurement was…but it was in the 13th %tile. She started eating cereal and bananas this week…and she loves it! She also visited the ENT and [...]

Smiley Face!

It has been a challenge to capture Penelope smiling …. but here is one!

Lashes!

The funny thing about babies is how suddenly they just have something new! About 2 weeks ago Penelope suddenly sprouted some serious eyelashes! It seemed to happen overnight… look how sweet!

Podiatrist

Yesterday Miss P went to the podiatrist (you know…because she is 80). He x-rayed her crooked/overlapping toes and examined them extensively. He told us not to bother with taping them anymore. He said it is rarely effective at this age and ends up being frustrating for the parent because the toes are so little. After [...]
