Happy 6 Months Penny!

It's hard to belive that 6 months ago our angel girl was born...she was such a little peanut! And here she is now, a happy, giggling baby with curls and smiles and enjoying her half birthday.

Penny got her first tea set..you can never start too early on tea....

A musical seahorse...Auntie Megan would be proud...

A cute butterfly to encourage her to start crawling...(video to follow once we get batteries)

not a bad stash!!

And Mikhail got a Diego book and figure for being such a good big brother....

It has been a crazy 6 months since Penny Pie came into our lives and we can't wait to see what happens next!!!

Faery Festival

On Saturday we went to Essex for the Faery Festival. Mikhail wasn't so into the fairies, but he had a good time decorating his butterfly and birdhouse... Drinking his tea....

and eating a cupcake....

Penny made a beautiful Fairy Queen....

Was the tiara too much?

I can't wait to see the professional pictures we had done there!

Penny has made great strides in her rolling...she's very proud of herself!

Happy Birthday Grampy

Sleeping through the night

Penny is doing a wonderful job with sleeping through the night. We hit a rough patch about a week ago where she would NOT stay down. After several nights of no sleep, Mommy and Daddy decided to introduce the "cry it out" idea. Being a very quick study, she only really cried once, during a nap. After that she went down with minimum fuss and now is going to bed on her own, drowsy, but not asleep. We'll knock on wood that this trend continues.
