No No QQ

I think if Penelope were able to tell you, she would say she's had another great week!

She really is this happy most of the time! 

She's getting more and more vocal all the time. She says mama very clearly. She says dada sometimes. She also has a new word. NO! It's almost always directed at the youngest of her big brothers. Quincy is still not getting the concept of personal space. He likes to get right in her face. The other day he was in her face and she made some noise that sounded like "No No QQ"!! So, so funny. Since then she is more than willing to tell him "No" when he is too close. She also swats him in the face. I probably would too if I were her.....

She and Quincy have lots of fun together too.

 Penelope & Quincy both suck their thumb. Penelope decided Quincy should give hers a try...

Maybe he's not so bad, he shares his sucker....

Penelope is still taking 2-3 bottles of formula per day. We will continue that for a while for both bonding and nutritional support. Not sure how much nutritional support she needs, she is a great eater!

Some of her favorite foods are oatmeal, congee, scrambled eggs, & carrots. This week she discovered she likes chocolate pudding. We used this as a chance to let her practice feeding herself.

Penelope and I visited my office this week so we weighed Penelope. Drum Roll please.......19 pounds!! She's gained over 2 pounds since we've been home! We can really tell. She's starting to get a double chin and a teeny bit of a belly.

As it (hopefully) continues to get warmer, we thought it was time to put Penelope's stroller together. Anyone who knows me knows I have a little bit of a stroller problem. I kept it conservative with the Maclaren. So far I've only pushed it around in the house but I think I'm going to love it!

We also got a new walker toy. She loves it!

Check her out in action!

After a hard day of walking and stroller riding, sometimes you just need a nap. So she fell asleep on the floor.

So Nanny & PaPa just got back from vacation to the Smoky Mts. They brought the kids hilarious/adorable gifts. 

Who doesn't need a coon skin cap?

Penelope got fabulous new dresses. She is now prepared if Hee Haw comes back on TV and they are looking for a token Asian. Or maybe she will square dance competitively? Either way, so adorable, she was cracking me up so much that I literally had tears running down my face! 

I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves....

Dex looks awfully cute in the hat!

Thanks Nanny & PaPa :)

Last one. This is an awful picture of me but have to share my 2 babies sucking their thumbs together.
