Well, between birthdays, kidney stones and Christmas, I never gave you the stats from Penny's 12-month check-up! Here they are:
19 lbs, 5.5 oz
28 5/8 inches
I was stunned that I would still have to hold off on turning her car seat around! I thought to myself that if I had given her that 6 oz of formula before her appointment, maybe she would have topped out at 20 lbs! Besides, she was so far ahead of Bethany at each appointment that I thought for sure she would be 20 lbs. Oh, well. We waited a couple of weeks and then turned her seat around anyway! That seat was a pain in the neck facing backward.
She still refuses to walk. She's taken two steps on a couple different occasions. She's enjoying all of her new toys that she got for Christmas. She's a whiz at the ring-stacker and loves playing her instruments.
On another note - we've begun our annual spring cleaning. Yes, we have spring cleaning in the winter because that's when we have off the most time. Nathan is usually catching up on grading during spring break. We purchased a free-standing pantry for the garage to help with our kitchen pantry and paper goods over-load. We also purchased some baskets to organize our bookshelf of toys in the living room.
Next on the list is cleaning out old toys from the girls' rooms. We had to rearrange the set-up of Bethany's room to accommodate the doll house. It looks really nice, I think. Bethany says it's beautiful.
I'm going to consolidate the Christmas madness pictures into one page and then post it to the girls' website. Look for that in the next couple of days.
