Playing in the Grass

The sun actually came out for the first time in over a week (or at least it seems that way) so I decided to take Penelope outside to play in the grass.  Actually, I think this is the first time she's actually played in the grass....I usually put her on a blanket.  She's sitting up pretty well on her own so I figured it would be fun to see how she took to the green blades before the cold weather comes.  Here are some of the best shots.

"My Word" as she clutches her pearls!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic Thursday!

Eating, Playing, Living, Loving

I figured it was time for another Penelope update, so here it goes.

She is really figuring out the whole eating thing.  She loves to eat apples, pears, carrots, squash...really anything.  Here she is eating avocado.  She couldn't get enough.  She kept grabbing the spoon and shoving it in.  It's adorable!

She also has fallen in LOVE with the dog.  Mia loves licking her (which is kind of gross but it makes P giggle so I let it slide from time to time.) Here is a picture of them lounging on the couch together.  I think once Penelope starts dropping food it's all over and Mia may find a new best friend instead of me!

We love reading to her, and she loves it! Sometimes it's difficult because she's too busy trying to turn the pages but it's still a great time.  Here is her daddy reading her a bedtime story. Melts my heart...

Grandma and Grandpa Diamond came for a visit for Grandparent's day.  She just loves them to pieces.

She is still obsessed with playing in her exersauser

Oh, and we blew bubbles for the first time.  She loves them!

And this weekend we had our first fire in the fireplace.  She liked to watch the flame.

So that's about it.  I'll end this post with an adorable video of her eating avocado.  Hope you all have a fantastic week!
