Momentous Events
Last week we attended Nate's first baseball game; it was a beautiful night for a game, we got to see Bryce Harper play, Penelope got her first baseball (purchased, not caught), and the best part was that Aunt Rachel was with us too! Here are the best pix we could get:
First Pigtails
This post is about a month late, but too cute to pass up. These are shots of Penelope's first pigtails, a momentous event in any little girl's life!
Family Visits
One of the best things about having a new baby is that you get more than the usual number of visits from family. Penelope is so used to people visiting that this past weekend when she and I took my sister to the airport at the end of her visit, Penelope asked who was coming to visit next (not in so many words, but that was the gist of it). Here are some shots of recent visits we have had with Penelope & Nate's aunts and family:
Cousin June, Aunt Jenny, Ben & Penelope enjoy the swings; it was June's first time!
Nate, Penelope & June, in a classic pose (how else to get three kids of this age in one shot?)
Aunt Rachel meets Nate, and Penelope helps!
Penelope, Aunt Rachel & I enjoy brunch!
Despite Appearances, She Really Is My Daughter..
Last night Penelope played in her crib by herself for 20-30 minutes while I put Nate down (Ben is on a work trip). Ben wisely suggested that I give her one of her favorites toys, a set of cupcakes with icing and candles that are removable and exchangeable. I was nervous about how this would go, we don't often ask her to play quietly by herself in her crib. When I came in to get her to put her down for the night, below is the sight that awaited me. All of the pieces of the cupcake set, neatly categorized and laid out next to one another. I guess despite looking just like her dad (so everyone says at least), she does have some of me in her after all.
