Busy busy busy...

So, it's been over a month since I've posted... oops.

It's like, so much has happened, yet nothing really big has happened at all.

Penny is 7.5 months now. Here are some updated stats:

• She can sit up for hours, unassisted (if she had the patience for it)
• She crawls (even on hardwood)
• She can go from belly, to sitting, to belly
• She pulls herself to her knees (feet can't be too far away)
• She babbles
• She weighs 8 lbs 5 oz as of TODAY
• She is mostly in 12 month clothing... I can get away with some 6-9 month stuff, and she has been rocking 18 month footy PJ's. Her 12 month ones are getting worn, a bit tight, and I can't find anymore fleece ones in the 12 month size this time of year any way. 
• She loves riding in the shopping cart (I need one of those covers!!)
• She eats pureed baby food, puffs, wagon wheels, yogurt drops, lil cruchies (baby cheetos)... and we have been playing with real adult food. I'm pretty paranoid about choking, so I have a hard time experimenting, but we have learned that she does NOT like bananas or avocado. I'm excited for summer to get here so she can try softer fruits like peaches and plums. 
• She has those two bottom teeth pretty much all the way in, and one top one has broken through (here we go again!). I think she has three more up there working their way down, but the top ones are taking way longer than the first bottom ones did, it seems.
• She has some serious stranger danger, which is apparently very normal for her age.
• She loves walks in her stroller.
• Sophie the giraffe is still awesomesauce. 
• She doesn't like the sound of tin foil shaking or the tape measure. These things make her cry.
• Another thing that is sure to make her cry is the damn beagle that lives across the plat. It barks at us and runs back and forth along the fence when we walk by. Sabre could eat that dog for breakfast, but it is still scary, EVERY SINGLE TIME.
• Remotes, phones, computers are all things she would like to chew on. If she could just.reach.them.
• She will usually sleep through the night - but with this teething thing all bets are off. Fortunately she's only been waking once a night lately with her poor sore toofers and gums.

I have lots of pictures. ...but they are mostly all in Photoshop format. I'll get to that. Just give me another month and a few days.

But here's one! Penny is sporting her new coat Grandma Lu got her. It's a nice spring jacket for our walks. And yeah, that's one of our remote devices in her hand. Whateve.
