- (This one she's been able to do for a month but I forgot to mention last time) Penelope army crawls everywhere! She is really fast too.
- She can get in a crawling position all by herself and likes to take one step and fall down.
- She loves going down the slide!
- She signs I love you, more, daddy, and mommy now. She also tries to sign bird but does it the opposite way which is super hilarious to watch. I think she's trying to sign music/dance because whenever music is on she makes the same sign but it only slightly resembles the actual sign.
- She likes waving hi and bye to people.
- She is getting more comfortable with strangers.
- Being outside is her favorite.
- I'm not a huge fan of a baby her age watching TV or movies but occasionally I'll put on a baby show if I'm in a hurry to go somewhere and need to get ready. But she really enjoys watching the colors and listening to the sounds. She especially loves singing shows.
- She likes to roll onto her stomach when we put her down for bed.
- She loves her food (are you surprised?) and eats 3 food meals a day. We have yet to feed her something she refuses which makes Jesse and I super happy! The other day I gave her horseradish mash potatoes and she made a face at first but kept grabbing the dish for more. And yesterday I gave her spinach which I was sure she'd dislike but kept signing more to me.
- She is starting to become a momma's girl. When she wakes up in the night she only wants me and if Jesse gets her you'll hear her scream "Mama! Mama!"
- Speaking of sleep we haven't really gotten much lately since we think her top teeth are coming in.
- She loves the Signing Time theme song.
- Old McDonald is still her favorite song to sing and play to.
- Penelope loves to lay down in the bath and splash and move her arms like she's swimming.
- She has become a toy snob much to my dismay. Getting into everything is her new favorite pass time.
- She loves the feeling of linoleum.
- The kitchen is her favorite place to play.
- She'll growl if you growl.
- She is no longer afraid of the vacuum after she went over to it and let it suction her arm up itself. I think she finally realized it's not dangerous.
- But now she's afraid of the blow dryer and she'll yell mama over and over until I turn it off.
- She hates diaper changes all of a sudden which makes for diaper time a frustrating experience and requires a bit of creativity.
- She'll sometimes let me leave the room without crying. Which is major progress.
- She loves flicking the light switches on and off.
- She can recognize who Jesus is. Or at least she gets really excited when we show her different pictures of him.
- She'll give anyone a kiss but me including her stuffed animals. I'll ask her if I can have a "kissy" and her reply is almost always a whiny cry. She will give me hugs though!
- She loves playing with her older cousins.
- She loves when I sing and sign the song Kookaburra.
- She is a ball of energy 24/7. Especially at church. I am always exhausted by the time church is done.
- And lastly, I'm pretty certain Penelope's favorite part of the day is when we brush her teeth. She loves sucking her strawberry tooth paste off her brush.

| Playing with the camera! Her favorite toys always seem to be the things that aren't really toys. |
Everyday is an adventure with this little one! We are so happy to have her in our lives!
