Cooing and Talking

Penelope has started cooing to go with all her adorable smiles! Since we think everything she does is adorable, I took a few videos of her when she was being especially cute and talking to both Dave and me. All it takes to get her going is for us to mimick the noises she makes. Here is an edited version of one of the videos, since I can't upload the giant ones I took on my camera. In the meantime I will try to figure out how to compress them and/or edit them so I can post more. This isn't the best one, it's just the one we could get to work for now.

BYU vs UNL

Penelope is a dual-fan. She likes BYU and UNL. Here is the proof--she looks adorable in both scarlet and navy!

This is to prove Penelope is getting baby fat. Look how chunky her legs are!
Look! She has filled out in the arms, too. She used to have lots of old lady skin, now she's got some fat to go with it. Hooray! (and she weighs a whopping 10 lbs 11 oz as of Monday, 6/20)

GO HUSKERS!

Penelope is also partial to the Cougars. She really likes her cheerleading outfit. It probably will not fit when she's 6 mos old, although the size is 6mos. I guess I'll have to buy a new cheerleading outfit. That makes me SO sad ;-) I can't wait for her to grow into the Husker cheerleading uniforms; they only had them in toddler sizes!

Kind of blurry, I know, but look how she can almost hold her head up! She can support her head for a little while when you pick her up. She's really quite strong. Don't let those skinny arms fool you. She may not be able to bench much, but she IS strong.

GO COUGARS!

(She needs pom pons, I know.)

Two Months

Penelope turned two months old on May 28. A few days earlier she started to smile. Now if she's got a full tummy and she's in a good mood it's really easy to get her to do this:
(blurry, cuz she doesn't sit still while she smiles)
or this:
This smile includes kicking and flailing on the new blanket that Grandma Luke made for Penelope. I'll take pictures of the other side soon. This is actually the back side.
