Day 276

Yay, we had a nice day today, had Papa all to ourselves! :) He was home for a day, gone again tomorrow. :/ We ate pancakes for breakfast, then all had a nice nap. We braved Costco later-- I'm really surprised Daddy went at all! We usually stock up on diapers, wipes and formula, but today we didn't get formula. Now that our big girl is 1, we're stopping with the bottle and formula. She's been drinking out of a sippy cup for a couple of days, and today we introduced her to regular milk. She hasn't seemed to notice at all! I think she'll only miss it at night, if she does... Next we'll tackle the binkie, but not just yet. Our girl is growing up really fast-- walking, mimicking gestures and words, no more bottle & formula... It's all happened so fast. Thank God we're having another baby in 2 weeks and 5 days (who's counting? ;)) because I'd be a slobbering mess, missing the baby stage!!! We are all so happy and excited for the new baby, I just hope P loves her and doesn't have any negative feelings for her. :/

We had a visit tonight from our friends Andrew and Bianca. They brought Penelope a birthday gift, the cutest pair of pink Vans! :) She showed off her new walking skills, and made everyone laugh with her dance moves, too. Our baby is such a charmer. :)

Now, since I hadn't posted all of P's birthday photos, and I didn't take any pics today, I'll post some more now. Goodnight!
