on sunday, we went to penny's friend maggie's second birthday party! we were very excited to celebrate among penny's peers, and though i don't want to brag, i'm pretty sure she was the best dressed party goer:
(not pictured: the matching satin bloomers she's wearing underneath)
on monday, we went to the doctors' for penny's six month check up. we found out that she is now 16 and a half pounds (still in the 50 to 75th percentile) and 27 inches tall (90th percentile). she was so squirmy that the nurse gave her a tongue depressor to keep her occupied, and of course, she LOVED it. forget fancy toys with flashing lights that have been approved by boards as educational or whatever, give our daughter a stick and she's over the moon.
the doctors told us to up penny's solid meals to two a day, eventually giving her three, and we've now added pears into her repertoire. pears = good! we've also gotten the go ahead for water - fluoride is good for her eminent teeth. monday evening she had her very first drink from a cup:
we have since gotten her a sippy cup, and today she had some water from a regular grown up water bottle. amazing.
yesterday my side of the family had an early fourth of july celebration, complete with pie and fireworks. also, cousins. so many cousins. babies galore, and a huge congratulations to rachel and paul who are now engaged cousins! woot woot!penny continues to refine her army crawling, and will travel the length of our living room for her new favorite category of thing to put in her mouth:
mama's shoes.
