Day 357

Out sweet girl stayed at home with Mana today while the rest of us (and our friend & realtor John Leffler) went out looking for a new home. She and Luciana woke up this morning at the same moment, both crying... Ha! I was stumped, had to make a plan quick before running to start the morning. Penelope is a good girl, and lets me tend to Luciana quickly before I get her. Here's how our mornings start now: I get P a cup of milk, and since it's been cold, I'll warm it up a bit. I'll get her out of her crib, but not before she hands me her binkies! (She uses two binkies-- one for the mouth, one for the hand. Daddy's plan of a "backup binkie" sorta backfired & now she wants one to hold onto as well... What are ya gonna do?) Anyway, she'll drink her milk while I change her diaper, and then we'll either go back into Mama & Daddy's bed (if Daddy's at work & Luciana is okay in her Moses basket), or we'll head into the living room and get some coffee, news, Cheerios and toys going! :) Today we did a little bed time, and then decided to just get up after both girls decided to cry, and just generally not cooperate! :/ Soon, Daddy was home and we all had a big breakfast together. Penelope played with Papa and I until nap time, and then cried almost the whole time... Slept maybe 30 minutes. I'm afraid her morning naps are just kind of on their way out. We'll fight it, we aren't ready for that yet!!!

Later Mana came and we left. I hear they had fun, and that Penelope was a good girl. :) As I realize I only have about a week left of this blog, I want to really show Penelope (when you're older, baby girl!!) what her life was like, how she spent her days, and the funny and cute things she did. I hope she realizes through this blog how much fun it's been for us, her parents, to see her grow and learn, and become more beautiful each day. :)

Well, our angel is asleep in her crib now, and we are just beat from the house search. No dice yet, we are waiting for that perfect house, the place we can see our girls in... Soon, it's going to happen!!

Goodnight. Oh! Since I didn't take any pics of my baby today (darn!) here's a pic Aunt Holly took a week or so ago.
