I like cake!

It was great to share this special day with just the family. Happy Birthday Penny..we love you!

Happy Birthday Penny

It's hard to believe a whole year has passed since Penny was born. She has changed so much. She crawls up a storm, and walks when she thinks no one is looking. She says "Mama", "Dadda", "Nana" "Bub" (for Mikhail) and "Dat", which is her demand to know what everything is. She loves to be read too and has become a decent sleeper. She is without a doubt one of the happiest babies, always smiling with her chubby cheeks and laughing at the world. She is a true Princess and we are blessed to have her in our lives.

Happy 1st Birthday Penny Pie!!

A day of firsts

Penny had her first experience brushing her teeth...all 5 of them!!

And Mikhail learned the fine art of shaving!

Merry Chirstmas

Penny's Procedure

Penny had her tear ducts opened on December 10. The whole procedure took less than 20 mins and her recovery was perfect. She no longer has icky goop in her eyes, is sleeping much better and is much happier!!
