Happy [early] Valentine's Day!

Momma was on the ball and got Valentines all sent out :) ... BEFORE Valentine's Day! We're going to be taking Penelope to a professional photographer in March for her 6 month portraits, but I couldn't resist getting Valentine's pics taken at the Picture People! It was only $12.99 for the whole photo session AND prints! Ridiculously cheap and made a sweet V-day gift from Penny and I to Alan... and Penny's Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles too, lol.

The original plan was to get a nice photo of Penny and I, but as soon as we got done with her pics and moved on to taking pics with me, she got fussy right away... so that didn't work! At least we got some super cute shots of her though!

...hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day! XOXOXO from the Primms!

Hi Dada!

How is this even possible???

I thought that they weren't suppose to talk until they were like... 30?

... just because they're super cute :)

Silly Silly Baby :)

Here are some videos of Penny from this past week! She has changed so much within this past month... she's like a whole different baby. At 4 1/2 months, she is constantly smiling and razzing. She squeals and drools a lot. She loves playing with her toys, especially her rattles and her "oomba" ball. She loves being read and sung to and can find her feet. EVERYTHING that comes into her grasp ends up in her mouth. She started babbling and playing with her head up while on her belly this week. She has become to be such a silly baby - I love it!

A Merry Penelope Christmas!

Just thought that we would share some photos from Penelope's first Christmas!

We opened our presents to each other at our home the night before we left for my parents' house (two days before Christmas). Above is Penny with some of her presents from us - she got an "Abby" doll from Pottery Barn Kids, a rocking giraffe, an "Oomba" ball, some small, wooden play animals and a high chair! ... so she made out pretty good :)

She was pretty happy about all the Christmas stuff :)

Penelope decided to start drooling the week before Christmas... she's a pro now!

Mommy and Baby

Daddy and Baby very early on Christmas morning at my Parent's house!

Penelope opening presents on Christmas morning in her pajamas!

Opening her presents from Santa! She loved ripping and crinkling the paper :)
(LOL - take note that the piles of presents behind Penny are much taller than she is!)

We got my parents a web cam for Christmas so that they can see Penny anytime they like - we set it up and tried it out so that Grandma Mary Ellen could see Penelope on Christmas day!

Penelope and her Great-Grandma LoAnne (my mom's mom)... she always seems to be able to get Penelope to fall asleep :)


The day after Christmas, my dad's side of the family came to visit - here is Penelope having some fun with her "boyfriend" - the snowman, my Aunt - Jennifer, cousin - Christina, and Aunt - Linda.


Penelope got to celebrate her first "Packer's Christmas"! Here she is with one of my mom's sisters - Carol.
