-She is really into spitting right now and its driving me insane! Her shirts are just constantly soaked. But I'm pretty sure its my fault since I make funny noises to her all the time and she's trying to mimic me.
-She is obsessed with tags. If there is a tag, she will find it and she will suck on it. There is a toy called a "taggie" that she has that has a bunch of material around a circle that look and feel like tags, but she doesn't care for that - there's a real tag on the back that she always goes for!
-Her tongue is always hanging out. My mom joked that it was because her cheeks are so big there's no room for it in her mouth!
-She understands a countdown (or rather, count up) means she's going to get thrown in the air on "3" and she gets very excited!
-If you replace the letters in the song "Bingo" with "P-E-N-N-Y" and sing it to Penny, she will almost always calm down.
-when I ask her "where's Dadda?" she'll look around the room til she sees Steve. She'll also look at the garage door when I tell her "Dadda is home!". I love it!
Her Stats:

I was sorting Penny's clothes one day between what she had grown out of and what still fit her, so I had two piles on the floor. I was sending the ones she had grown out of to a friend. Penny was sitting in her bumbo chair in between the two piles. I wasn't really paying close attention to her until I realized that as I was putting clothes into the "too small" pile Penny was grabbing them and putting them in her "still fits" pile! I was laughing so hard! I joked to Steve that she was being a bit greedy and didn't want me sending her clothes to someone else!

| If you look closely, you can see that tongue sticking out! |
 |
| Penny usually jumps like crazy in her door jumper, but this day she was pretty tired. I looked over to see her just staring at me like this and not moving at all. Nap time! |
 |
| She is definitely a daddy's girl! |
 |
| One afternoon I was having trouble getting Penny to sleep. She finally fell asleep on my lap for an hour and a half! This is how she woke up. Ha! |
 |
| She now has enough hair to (barely) get a bow to stay in! |
 |
| We started her on solids on the day she turned six months! Bananas! |
 |
| Haha! Her face in this pic just makes me laugh! |
 |
| A girl after her mother's heart - going for the chocolate milk! |
 |
| Starting to get the hang of sitting up! |
 |
| She loves being in the kitchen and watching us cook/grabbing any utensil she can get her hands on! |
Six months and looking SO big to me!
 |
| Photo shoots are exhausting. And please ignore the piles of laundry. Sometimes I fold it. |
