and she's off!

well it's been a busy week.  I am behind on blogging, but is because i now have a crawler.

a full blown crawler.

who also has decided she wants to stand up as well.

so the lazy bum who took 8 months to roll over, took forever to take that first crawl forward, has now amped up the energy.

and she's off!

we crawling, we kneel, we pull up on anything, we let go and try to stand (and really pissed when we fall backwards - that's all mom's fault apparently).

she crawls over stuff, pulls up my legs, reaches for your hand to help her stand.. basically refuses to be still.

this makes for a tired set of parents.  a mobile baby is exhausting.  especially one that loves to pull up and stand but has yet to develop a healthy fear of gravity.

here are some photos/videos of penelope's recent adventures...

1.  First official crawling.. she did it at the sitter that am - but we got it on video that evening...

2.  sooo big! 

3.  monster baby... penelope has recently started making what appear to be dog/monster noises.  either she is crazy, or she does this because gatsby is her bff.  turn up the volume...

4.  staring at the window.. using her new found skills to check out the world outside.

5. shirts are for jerks... apparenlty it's more fun to play topless.
