Since Penelope is what fills my days, that is what I have to write about. And there couldn't be a better subject.
She is getting smarter every day. As you can see in the picture, she found out that she is just small enough to fit in the space behind the couch and can successfully navigate her way to the window. She also has started to answer me when I ask her a question. For instance, if I say "Are you hungry?" She will answer "dyeah," for yes. If the answer is no, she will just pretend I am not there and continue whatever activity she was pursuing at the time that I so rudely interrupted her.
Penelope has also discovered the mural that Aaron painted on her walls. Her favorite area is the African area. Every morning she will point to the wall and I have to say, "elephant, baby elephant, giraffe, tree." The other day Aaron asked her where the elephant was and she pointed to the wall. So fun.
We have started going to story time at the library and Penelope seems to really enjoy it. She will sit and listen to the books, but the real entertainment is the other kids that are there. She loves little kids. We have also started going to the mall once a week where they have a little soft play area. Once again, most of Penelope's excitement is because there are other children there, but she does enjoy the toys too.
