smiles, curls and more

So Penelope has been much smiley-er (yes I just made up a word) since her tooth has broken through. We have gotten more pictures of her smiling in the last week then we have of her smiling ever! (Ok that might be slightly exaggerated but still)

 She still scrunches up her face when she's frustrated.

 

She's working on her technique of scooting and it's getting closer to being more like a crawl.

(not the best video of it but it's the best that I got) 


She still loves her pig and snuggles with it at nap time, bed time and if we're going to be out long enough that I'll need to hold her for a nap. At night when it's getting close to bedtime Chris will lay her on his lap and bounce her and she'll talk. It's pretty funny especially when she starts to fall asleep while doing it.

Her hair at the crown is longer than anywhere else because none of it fell out when she was younger. And it curls a bit I think it is super cute.

 

 

 

She likes to chew/suck on her toes if she gets the chance.

 

She really likes bath time and is usually smiley, talks, giggles and kicks during bath time.

 

 

She is FINALLY making an effort to sit for longer periods of time thanks to this thing (I have no idea what you would call it)

 

 

Oh and if you look very closely you can see the white speck that is her tooth     

On the move

Penelope has been moving a lot for a while now. She used to just roll to get what she wanted, which she still does a lot of. But, if the item is right in front of her she'll scoot forward to get it. Here's a video of her scooting

Tooth!

I know you can't exactly see it but you can see where it is coming through. You can feel a little pokey bit poking through. Chris claims he saw a white spot but I don't see it in the picture and I haven't been able to see it in real life either

Chris thought it was funny how hard I was trying to see it, so he took a picture of me trying to see it

7 months

Yes I'm late with the 7 month update, we were having a tough time trying to get Penelope to sleep on her own. She decided she didn't want to be swaddled anymore but also wouldn't sleep without it. So that ended up being a rough week and a half or so of her screaming and crying every night before bed time and sometimes during the day at nap time as well. But I'm glad to report that she is finally going to bed and taking her naps very well on her own. She has been a rolling manic! She rolls everywhere. She rolled over to play under the boucy seat and chew on the tags

 

 She loves her teething biscuits and she's tried a few finger foods bananas, animals crackers, and watermelon.

 She  likes to try to do push ups like daddy...

 She is still quite vocal at times but not as often. She is very observant and notices things that you won't think she'd care about. She's a silly girl and makes herself laugh at random times. She used to close her eyes and shake her head back and forth when the light would come on before the flash when taking her picture. But today she'd smile when the light would come on lol she even chuckled once. So here are several of the smiley pictures.

 When she gets upset but not enough to cry she scrunches up her nose and breathes in and out heavily. This is the face.
