penny pics...

just some of my favorites from this past week or so...

this has been a huge week for penny. all of a sudden she's doing real baby things. things like grasping a rattle for the first time, and giggling at mama's silly faces. she also cracks up at the sound of me laughing, which just might be the sweetest thing ever! she's constantly chatting up a storm these days. this gal has a lot to tell us about her first 11 weeks of life! right now they're kind of just grunty coo's, but we're starting to hear some actually "oooohhh"and "aaaahhhh" in there too. she seriously melts me into little pieces with every goofy grin. and let's not forget to mention the fact that she's started sleeping 6 and a half hour stretches between nursing at night. yes, mama is very pleased with that new trait indeed!

tomorrow we'll be taking her to my favorite cast iron hunting spot for the very first time. gotta get her used to these salvage trips at an early age. hopefully she enjoys it as much as her papa and i do. she is going to be my apprentice after all!

welp here's to another week flying by faster then i ever thought possible. i'll leave you with this little video i made yesterday. nothing fancy, it's just a bunch of random clips i had of miss penn. she's growing so fast i want to capture every single bit of her so i don't forget just how little she once was... enjoy, and happy weekend to all!
