when will it end??

Sooner than I had anticipated (although I guess it had to happen someday), we have stopped breastfeeding. I am very heartbroken about this, because we were doing such a great job until now, but the teething has really affected her (and NOT in a good way) and I was chomped down on three times today, twice hard enough to draw blood and tears. So that is the end of that. I really would like to soldier through this, but it has been occurring more and more lately, and I'm pretty sure that I have had enough. But, on the bright side, this means that all of my food energy will be transferred to the new baby, and he/she won't have to share with a greedy big sister.

However, there are some new things that Penny has been doing (besides biting me):
1. Says mama, and bob. We think that bob might be dada, but we aren't too sure, because sometimes she will look right at Ryan and say bob, and other times "bob" is anything that she can reach.
2. Gives kisses.
3. Cruises the furniture, and can stand for about 10 seconds by herself.
4. Eats ANYTHING that we give her. This include a "Salsa Verde" Dorito that Ryan so graciously decided to let her try. And she liked it.
5. Will chase people or animals around. Her Uncle Charlie loves this the most, since she is the closest one to his size.
6. LOVES to be outside, especially in the swings!
7. Daddy has started playing roller coaster with her, swinging her all around the house in a seated position, holding her upside down, twirling really fast in circles, you name it. This girl is going to be a daredevil, SHE LOVES THE ADVENTURE.
8. Starts fussing the minute that I come to pick her up from Grandma's houses.
9. Will drink out of a sippy cup. The flow of the water/milk/juice is a little fast for her right now, because she is still used to the bottles, but she is getting better about not choking herself with the drink.

Thats about it for now. We are celebrating our one year anniversary on Monday, and on Tuesday will be revealing our newest little baby via ultrasound. Very cool :)
