Fire truck Cry

So after taking Penny's monthly photo shoot, we decided to do a video of Penny's biggest fear.  Grammy has a book about fire trucks with a button that you push to hear the fire engine's bell.  She hates it and breaks down crying everytime.  Poor Penny!

9 months old

It is unreal, but Penny is 9 months old.  She is a very active crawler that pulls up on everything.  She has even just stood straight up in the middle of the floor before.  She shakes her head no and signs "all finished".  She sings "She loves you ... Ya, Ya, Ya" by the Beatles.  Her favorite foods are Cheerios, puffs, cornbread crackers, and chicken with herbed veggies.  Her favorite toys are Ollie, stacking cups, stacking rings, a Sesame Street pillow, and Baby Bruce (a baby doll).  Penny has 2 bottom teeth.  We go to the doc next week to find out her percentiles.  I swear she has said "baby bruce" "Vita D" (vitamin D that I give her every night) and "ma ma" "da da".  We love our Penny!

Remote

Do all children like remotes?  Penny will see someone using the remote from across the room  - crawl over and pull up on the couch just so she can steal it. I even have a remote that was left over from an old DVD player, but she was not fooled.  Here she is with her prize.  Ollie used to call it the camote. 

Happy Halloween!

 2 brown bats!

Let's Scare Lolo

Ollie and Uncle Wes's favorite game is hide/dress up/make scare noises and wait for Lolo to come over to scare the daylights out of her.  Works everytime.

Freak'n Awesome Birthday

 Ollie's b-day was very Halloween themed.  He and Lolo were the only 2 preschoolers there, but we had a ton of fun. 

 Daddy made a treasure map with Casper themed treasure hidden in Grammy PopPop's yard. 

 Unreal birthday cake Wes made with a Scooby Doo theme thanks to JJ's cake decorating set and my husband's mad skills.  I did the grass. 

Ollie loved all his presents.  His favorite was a retro style record player (he can work it himself) and a ghost hunting game.  All in all a great 4th birthday for our buddy!

So much love

They really do still love each other.  SQUEEEEEEZE and SMOOOOOCH!
