Pigtails. . .

I just had to post a picture of Penelope's first pigtails. Yeah!

Cheerios

I am so use to giving Penelope Cheerios as a finger food, that I almost forgot their real purpose. We had a big lunch today for Easter since Aaron had to go to sleep after lunch, so I decided that cereal and strawberries would be an adequate dinner. Well, I already know that Penelope loves strawberries, but I had no idea how she would react to her beloved Cheerios being doused with milk. She ate 3 small bowls of cereal and as you can see, she was having a great time and loved every bite. It is so fun to see her reaction to new foods. Last week I had her try pickles and if I let her she would eat a whole jar.

Squinty Eyes

This is the opposite of scowling. When Penelope is trying to be cute she tilts her head to the side and gently closes her eyes, smiles and then squints a little. Too cute. We can't get enough of it!

Oh, and as you can see she likes homemade strawberry jam.

Scowling. . .

Penelope has just started scowling at us. It is so funny. When she is mad at me she bunches her little eyebrows together and squits her eyes a little. The bad part is that I know she gets it from me because that's what I do when she is in trouble. This pictures is only a little taste of her scowl. This is a kind of, what are you holding, scowl. You should see it when she is really mad.

We have started potty training and it is going pretty well. We got out the potty because I was going to start trying when she was 18 months but she was interested in it and so I put her on and she started peeing! It is kind of a hit and miss during the day but every morning this week she has woken up dry and I immediately put her on the potty and she does her business. I need to get some training pants for her, diapers are just way too good at absorbing. Anyway, I am hoping she will continue to do well with the potty. She seems to like it now.

Penelope is my little helper. I had her help me pick up all of the pine cones in the front yard one day and now whenever she sees a pine cone out in the yard she has to pick it up and take it to the garbage.

I've been tagged.

Carey has tagged me...Here's how you play:

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player tags 4 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they are tagged.
