Potty Time...

Penny enjoys sitting on the potty...Mikhail enjoys teaching her what to do!

Paczki time

Sharing Paczki with Grampy good stuff...if a bit fuzzy!

Spring has sprung?

For the first nice day in months, we headed to the park. Penny was sporting her first full pony-tail.. Mikhail enjoyed climbing on rocks

Snow Day

We went to visit Nana and Grampy in hopes of doing some sledding..not enough snow for htat, but we still have fun playing Went looking for some puddles to jump in, didn't find any, but Penny found snow balls..and wouldn't go anywhere with out one in each hand.

fun was had by all!

President's Day

We went to Maine for our annual President's Day/Mommy's birthday weekend. Did a little shopping, no great deals and went to a winter carnival. Walking on the ice proved to be interesting. Frozen family...

with Grampy...

Playing in the water

On a cold winter's day in February, Mikhail ased to play with his water animals, I said yes, filled the bucket and left them to play for 10 seconds. Apparently that wsa long enough for Penny to decide she needed a bath and to upset Mikhail's day.

One Year Check Up

Penny had her one year check up today (a little late) and here is where she's at:
31 1/2''
23. 2 lbs
I forget her head size, but it's so odd to think that she's almost exactly the same as Mikhail was at the same point! She's very healthy and took her shots like a trooper. Next stop, 15 month check up in May!
