Hey, Hey it's Penelope's birthday!! One year of excitement with Penelope and the time went by incredibly fast. There were tears of joy when she was born (Mommy of course), uncontrollable excitement at her arrival (Big Sister) and I would assume pure panic at having three women in the house (Daddy).
Penelope has turned into quite a precocious child that seems to be doing just about everything ahead of schedule. The one thing she isn't doing at exactly one year is walking. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it is purely her laziness or possibly an inherited stubborn trait that keeps her off of her feet. She is taking steps and then she will start laughing hysterically and fall down. We know running is right around the corner.
One year doctor check up came back with stats of 21 pounds 11 ounces (55th percentile), 29 and 3/4 inches (75th percentile) and 12 and 3/4 inch head. All of that means since her last check up at 9 months she gained over 2 pounds and grew almost 2 inches. Our big girl is slimming down, but she has been wearing 18 month clothing for months.
So on to the birthday weekend, since the girls birthdays are only a few weeks apart we decided to hold off on a party until closer to A's birthday. That didn't mean that we were going to hold off on all of the celebrating. We spent the day at our community pool, ate cake before we went out to dinner and then had just a few presents. We discovered that my little eating monster isn't really a fan of cake, mostly icing which is not a trait she got from her mother.
