Penny Pie is 3 months! (aka picture overload)

Before I bombard you with pictures of Penelope, I thought I'd give Eleanor the spotlight for a minute. She is the cutest big sister you'll ever meet! She is so sweet to Penelope. She holds her hand when we're driving in the car and moves the sun shade thing on her carseat if it's too "ight" (bright), she reassures her with "ohhh it's k" when she's crying, she bring her toys, she tries to share her snacks, when she hears her crying on the baby monitor she lets me know "it's the baby", she climbs in her crib with her to keep her company, and she always wants to include her in our dance parties.


One night after her bath and jammies, she insisted she put on her boots, her belt, sunglasses, and an old hat. And if that wasn't enough, she found her swimsuits and wore them as purses. I wish I had a clearer picture, but you have to have a glimpse of my fashion forward child :) She just cracks me up when she likes to accessorize like this, because I have no idea where she gets it from. The only accessories I own are earrings!

Ok, now on to Penelope, or "P-P" as Eleanor calls her. At some point we'll probably have to nix that nickname. I don't think Penelope will like it very much. On the eve of her 3 month birthday she decided it would be a good time to roll over. (Eleanor first rolled over when she was 2 1/2 months old. Why do my children have such an urgency to be on the go!?!) It's fun to compare their differences and similarities. For example, Penelope doesn't get nearly as frustrated as Eleanor did when she's trying to roll over, but once she rolls over, she gets pretty irritated that she's stuck on her stomach, while Eleanor was thrilled to be on her tummy.
Here's Eleanor on the move:

And Penelope:

(And I just realized they were wearing the same little nightgown when they first rolled!)

Penelope is much more dainty when she shoves her hands in her mouth...

Penelope:


I love my babies and watching them grow everyday and learning about their personalities!

Now, join me for an afternoon with Penelope...






Victory!





Uh-oh, I'm stuck!


This is after I rolled her back over...doesn't she have the best surprised face?

Your children are so adorable! Maybe Eleanor secretly wants to be America's next top model and she's just trying to copy Tyra's strange styles.

I'm so jealous of Eleanor's long beautiful hair... maybe Say will catch up someday. Love the pics of little Penny! Eleanor looks like you and Penny looks like her daddy (to me at least).
