Good Day

Penny slept through the night last night! She went down in the crib just before 8 and slept until 645 without a peep. In fact, I had to wake her up this morning in order to feed her so I could go to work. What, you might ask, led to this miraculous event? We swaddled her again. She'd outgrown her swaddleme blanket - or so we thought. Last night we decided to try it again and she slept like a dream. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Also today, while I was at work, Penny managed to crawl backwards all the way across the living room dragging her hat with her. Tray took a zillion pictures to show me when I got home and in almost all of them she has the same self-satisfied smile on her face - even after she managed to back herself in between the couch and the recliner.





For several days now she's been trying to pull up on things, but there really isn't much in our house for her to pull up on. Today, I sat her in the crib while I was in the bathroom and when I came back, this is what I found (and she grinned from ear to ear as soon as she saw me - she was SO proud of herself):



(And, yes, we will be dropping the mattress level!)

Oh, and last but not least, she ate peaches today at lunch and actually seemed to like them. What a day!!
