Its been a while...
So I realize that I have not posted in 5 months, and I am sorry for that. I have totally been slacking off. First I had dance costumes to sew, then i was re-doing my sewing room, and now Penelope is almost walking. To say the least I have been busy. With all that said, here are the Penelope Updates:
1. she eats anything you put in front of her, it is kind of ridiculous.
2. She loves Cooper, to the point where when she wakes up from a nap she pats her chest (like when we pat our leg to call him, except she doesnt it on her chest) and the barks for him. She goes uff, uff, uff, uff. Very cute
3. She says mama, dada, baby, per (cooper), uff uff (ruff ruff), pr-tee (pretty), buh-bon (button) and im sure there are a lot other that I am forgetting.
4. She has start to express her will, not very fun for mommy, she definitely lets me know when she doesn't like what I have told her.
5. We have started her on whole milk. She nurse in the morning and evening but during the day drinks milk and water.
Well Penelope is offically 11 months old and will be 1 in no time! it is crazy, this first year has flown by. pictures in a bit I have to get them off the camera, which mean I have to find the cord to do that first.

"6" month appointment
We had Penelope's 6 month appointment today even though she is only 5.5 months. We were scheduled for Oct. 22 but the other day I notice that one of Penelope's nipples looked like it had a bruise on it, and it also had a lump under it. So I decided to call the ped. and see if I could get her in sooner.
Well it turns out to be benign, and not a big deal. The "bruise" isn't really a bruise at all but just a clump of blood cells. Normally these spot appear on a childs neck or arms, it is strange that it is on Penelope's nipple. Apparently lots of kids get the lumps and they generally stop growing around 6 months of age and will slowly shrink down and be gone around 5-7 years of age.
With that over we decided to just go ahead and do all of the 6 month check up stuff so I wouldn't have to bring Penelope in again (during flu season) Here are the stats
Head-50%
Length 26 1/4 inches- 75%
Weight 14 ponds 14 ounces- 25%
She is still long and skinny, and had doubled her birth weight. She gained 2 pounds in about 7 weeks, which is awesome. Penelope got 3 shots and did great. Of coarse she cried but as soon as I picked her up and calmed her down she started sucking her thumb and was fine. It doesn't help that by the time the shots come around it is way past nap time and she is exhausted.
We are supposed to start solids soon but I am in no hurry. Since we re traveling to Savannah Oct. 23-25 I figure we will start when we get home. That way I don't have to worry about it while we are gone.
