Sea Air

She still doesn't like beach sand, but she's willing to walk on it with shoes on.

She just woke up from her nap.

15 months

Recently, I took a solo trip to Washington DC to visit our friends Summer and Adam. Derek and Penelope stayed behind. This was the first time I was apart from Penelope. It was hard, but Skype, and the company of good friends made it easier. In DC I got to do the things I no longer can do with a baby; linger at a restaurant, have a drink at a bar, walk outside when it's dark, go to an evening baseball game, etc. Yet, all the things I can't do anymore do not compare to all the wonderful things I can see and do with Penelope. We know how to kick it. She's amazing. It's good to be home.

Evelyn

Our friend Evelyn visited us for a couple days. Penelope and Evelyn hit it off! Penelope recently learned how to give kisses, so it was sweet to see her give our guest a kiss. As you can see they are great pals.

Easter Egg Hunt

Emily mentioned how it was too cold for Pen to hunt for eggs outside. So she did it inside instead.

Happy Easter!

Saturday morning, we went to an egg hunt at the zoo. It was very cold. Penelope couldn't move, she just shivered. We quickly left and did an egg hunt at home. She found her eggs, placed them in the basket and promptly removed them to do it again.

Sunday, we went to Easter Mass. She learned the word "light". There were many lights at the church and she let everyone around her know it. It was very cute. Happy Easter everyone!

I see spots

Curently Penelope likes to put things in a bag and take it out. Her newest adventure was putting herself in a basket, getting out, putting herself back in, getting out, putting... well you get the idea.
