Bubble Bath
Wearing the poncho that her grandmother knitted.
Penelope likes to play a game with Winston where she walks around the house covered up searching for him.
Pictures from our trip to the San Diego Zoo over Christmas. We were fortunate to go on a day that wasn't busy. There wasn't a line to see the pandas and to top it off the baby panda was in a good and friendly mood. Andy got some good videos of the panda climbing and running around.
We made a garland for the Christmas tree with popcorn and dried cranberries. Penelope couldn't stop eating the cranberries even after they were on the tree. Needless to say the garland didn't last very long.
Winston and Penelope have been very good about sharing their toys.
Penelope got the tree with the birds and the mother and father. The blocks are for their marble run which they both love to play with.
She is sitting on her doll's bed reading a book to herself.
Penelope collected acorns and then decided to cook for the squirrels. She even remember to add salt and pepper.
After she was done cooking for the squirrels she decided that Winston's tricyle needed a washing. She starting 'washing' the tricyle with mud. Winston objected but Penelope insisted on cleaning the tricycle.
While I helped Winston clean his tricycle Penelope found and put on her rain boots. She then asked to go to the coffee shop but eventually settled for slices of watermelon.
After her bath she asked for a sliced apple. I thought was going to eat them but she had other plans. She said she was going to cook them for the birds.
More pictures from another hike.
Penelope ready to go to the Farmer's Market. She likes to carry her fruits.
Taking pictures of us around the house

Penelope likes to climb on everything. Here she is standing on the window sill to get a better look at the rain outside.
These are from Christmas
These pictures our from our Thanksgiving trip to LA
Some old and new pictures of Penelope.
Wearing a hand knitted pom-pom cap made by yaya.
This is her favorite outfit to sleep in; she asks for it every night.
This dress was also knitted by yaya.
I'm cleaning my computer and found this picture. Winston was playing around and put the baseball cap on Penelope. I fixed it and took a picture before Winston started complaining that it was his and wanted it back.
Penelope once again has outgrown her clothes. She now wears 12-18 months at 4 months. Every couple weeks we have to buy her a new clothes especially undershirts. She wears size 3 diapers and very soon will need to change to size 4.
Ayer Penélope cumplió cuatro meces. Es una niña muy despierta, risueña y muy tranquila. En los últimos meces ha crecido bastante. Ya pesa 20 libras (9 kg). Por las noches le gusta que nos acostemos con ella en la cama y le digamos cosas. Después se duerme por unos 45 minutes. Sólo por las noches, a última hora, se pone un poco más impaciente y tengo que cargarla.
En las mañanas despierta y balbucea mucho. Casi nunca llora. Es todo un lujo. Nos encanta mucho verla esforzándose por hablar. Bañarla es un encanto pues le encanta bañarse. Si pudiera se quedaría en la tina (bañera) por horas. Cuando Penélope ve a su hermano lo ve con una vista muy seria absorbiendo todo lo que él hace pero nunca le sonríe.
Winston and his friend Michael played in the empty car seat box. They were painting the inside of the box.
Penelope got her vaccines (three injections) yesterday and didn't even cry. I came home worry that she might have a reaction but she just slept.
I took some pictures of Penelope all dressed up but didn't notice she was missing her shoes until I was reviewing the pictures.
Betty made the hair clip and sent it to Penelope along with a beautiful hand knitted blanket.
Penelope is a very mellow baby who seldom cries. If she does cry it's because she is cold.
Penelope has been eating so much that she no longer fits into her newborn clothes.
We are taking her for her one month checkup and will find out how much weight she's gained since her last checkup.
Nick & Liza stopped by last night to meet Penelope. She slept pretty much through the entire visit
Our doula came to visit Penelope but she slept through the entire visit. She is a heavy sleeper; we couldn't wake her up.
