a few new accomplishments

penny will now talk to anyone, or anything (for example, the teddy bears on her mobile that hangs on the port-a-crib), she has laughed for Grandma Char, and her Aunties Patti and Sarah BUT still not for mom and dad ... she grabs her clothes and anything nearby that she can reach, and she LOVES playing with her tongue (another new find)... you should see her all day... sticking her tongue out like a little lizard, so adorable!! thats about it... I have to go back to work in a few weeks, i'm not too happy about that, but at least we will have a little more money coming in... :/ boo to work.

Penny Jo... 10 weeks

So Penny is now ten weeks old, and the changes are happening quickly!! Already she loves to look around (she HATES being held in a position where she can't see what is happening around her!), loves to be outside on walks, and loves to play with her soft toys. She is always smiling and has started to giggle (although only in her sleep so far except for one occassion for Aunty Sarah). She now grabs her clothes and pulls on them, and will grab and pull anything in her reach that is soft and cuddly (blankets, stuffed animals, you name it). Today I took her in the shower with me for the first time and she LOVED it! She started getting smiley when I let the water run on her belly, and especially liked having it sprinkle on her toes! She is starting to get a little chunky too, in fact, that's what I call her (Chunk-chunk, or Chunky Monkey)... Ryan thinks I will give her a complex by calling her that, but he now calls her Chunk too, so who's giving the complex now?!?

Thats about it for now.. except for some pictures...

Cheesy girl!!

Happy girl!! Watching the Olympics

Getting Older...

Penny is 2 months old now, at her last doctor's checkup, she had gained 3 lbs in just one month!!! amazing what breastfeeding can do to kids..

Ryan is loving his job at Time Warner Cable Communications, it has been the best career change for him, there is nothing negative about this place i swear!!

Still dont know if I am going to go back to work once "bonding" time is over, but I seriously doubt that I will be going to Ford whether or not I go back to work.. that place is just so negative and I know that they would hassle me about needing a day off here or there should Penny have a Dr appt or get sick. Hoping to find something that I can do from home that isn't selling Avon or Tupperware lol

thats about it for now..
