Happy Birthday to Me

From,

(it sure is nice having a professional photographer in the family)

The Baby is Bored

I repeat. B-O-R-E-D.

She's a very active and exploratory kinda gal, and right now I'm a lazy, lay-around-the-house-all-day kinda gal. Which makes for one very under stimulated baby. She pretty much sits in that laundry basket all day. I think she'd like sensory trays, but she still eats stuff that's not food. Any other good activities/experiences/games for a 14-month-old baby?

Ideas please.

Or else Penny just may die of boredom (probably not).

Ha!

It's Votin' Time

All right, so here's the deal. I'm pregnant. And Seth is sure it's twins for 2 reasons.

1. He has identical twin uncles and twins usually skip a generation which would mean he or his cousins would be due for twins.

2. I'm much bigger this time around. I know that happens on subsequent pregnancies, but let's take a look at the below pictures. (Click on pictures to enlarge).

L-Pregnant with Penny, 8 weeks. R-Pregnant with Baby(ies) No. 2, 8 weeks.
Also notice how much better my house is looking!

Maybe you're thinking, "Geez Em, you're not that much bigger." But let's look once again at the below photos.

L-Pregnant with Penny, 12 weeks. M-Pregnant with Baby(ies) No. 2, 8 weeks. R-Pregnant with Penny, 14 weeks.

Which would put me roughly at 13 weeks along in Penny pregnancy time.

You be the judge. Vote in the comments, and don't just say twins because you're afraid of calling me fat. I can handle it.

Penny and the blow fish.

Touching the rays with dad....

...and then licking her hand clean. Gross.

Packing Peanut Penny

Makes one happy baby.

I suck at blogging

How 'bout another cure picture of Penny, 'cause really that's all I got around here.But Seth did just buy us a Groupon year pass to the Living Planet Aquarium, so maybe you'll get some pictures of fish soon? Stay tuned.

Also, this picture looks just like the one 2 posts down.

Happy 4th

We took family pictures. Patriotic, huh?

Penny Loves Summer

She even ditched her swimming lessons to play outside with the hose.

Um...

...is this the cutest picture you've ever seen of Penny? It totally is for me.

More of the new favorite

'Cause she's just so dang cute.

P.S. Doesn't she look old in these pictures? My goodness!

One is Fun

Penny had an Art-in-the-Park (backyard) birthday party, but you'd never be able to tell from the pictures...

Not so sure about this whole party thing. Until the cake arrives.

Cake makes great hair gel.

Penny was given bubbles.

Lots of bubbles.

A kiss for Aunt Nat the Face-painted Cat.

Her favorite new toy.

Until Auntie Erin swipes her and the toy straight off the ground.

Thank you for helping us celebrate. Let's do it again next year.
