Walking

Penny is really walking now. She can go across the room by herself, albeit slowly. What is really fun though is how she walks from person to person. She starts slow, but once she reaches a certain point, she just launches herself into your arms with a look of sheer joy on her face, and you have to be ready to catch her! She is so much fun these days. I've taken several videos recently, but haven't been able to post them. Here's one from last week before she was walking as well as she is now. This one just shows her being able to stand up on her own. She's obviously been doing that for awhile, but this is the first time I got it on camera. At the very end she looks at the camera and just after the 60 second time limit was reached and the video cut off she said, "Bop".



And here is the main event - Penny walking from me to Tray. You can see how excited she gets at the very end when she crashes into his arms.



Thursday and Friday, my mom and grandmother came down and visited. Here is a picture of Penny with my mom at her computer. The computer isn't actually on - Penny was just having fun pushing buttons. She does enjoy looking at pictures of ducks on the internet though.



And this is a picture of Penny disoriented after waking up from a world record 2 hour and 40 minute nap!!! Never in 11 months has she ever slept that long. It was amazing. I thought she must be sick or something. She didn't take a morning nap, so she "doubled up" on the afternoon one. BUT - today she didn't take a morning nap either and only slept 45 minutes in the afternoon despite circumstances being the same both days. So she only slept 45 minutes all day today, and was kind of grouchy at bedtime. It's never the same day twice with Penny - but I like the sponteneity. :)
