Penny loves to play Peek-A-Boo. She plays it in the car with her blankie and she plays it in her high chair with her hands. She plays it in church with the couple who sit near us and she plays it in her crib when we get her from her naps.
Since she received her first peek-a-boo book from our friend Lori (the Farm book), she's had tons of fun playing peek a boo with the animals and babies from the story. 
Grandma and Grandpa found a few other Peek-A-Boo books at their local book store and sent them for Penny. 
Every night, we read through all six peek-a-boo books. She is starting to recognize some of the animals and toys. When we get to the teddy bear page of one of the books, she stops to show me that there is a teddy bear on the cover of another book. And, when we get to the page with the train, she looks across the room to find her alphabet train and makes a "t" noise. 
Out of all the cute things she does while reading, my favorite is when she gets to the mirrored page of one of the books...she kisses herself in the mirror :)
Thank you Lori, Grandma & Grandpa! These books have given us hours of entertainment. It's so much fun to watch her learn while we're reading!

We've been thinking about starting swim lessons and I think we've decided that we're going to teach her on our own.
The water was a little too cold for Princess P's liking, but she had a blast watching daddy swim some laps!
Daddy and I reorganized the kitchen this afternoon, so Penny can safely play in a few cabinets. She's now locked out of the rest. 
They've started building a home on the lot next to ours. Penny loves to watch the construction workers. She waves to them and says hi. One of the workers beeps the horn for her and she gets so excited! 
When they're done working, she loves walking close to the diggers to see what they're all about. She's not afraid to walk outside anymore! Now I have to run to keep up with her!
She looks so little next to that big backhoe!
And, although it's spring, I can't put put this snowman away with the winter decorations. He's Penny's friend. She loves to give him hugs!
Penny loved the race :) She was talking up a storm the whole way as we weaved in and out of the crowd. Running a 5K with the stroller was an adventure- it is quite a challenge to pass slower runners and walkers in a crowd...much different than running a 5K on your own! But, it was so much fun to take Penny along for the ride and we can't wait to run another race in May :)
Chloe had a front row seat on her daddy's lap :)
Penny had a blast playing with her cousins. And, I think they had just as much fun playing with her!
Mary saved us a seat near a grassy patch, so the girls were able to stretch their legs when they got antsy.
Nana Lou had a great time with Penny at the parade too!
After the parade, we played at Aunt Miss' house for a few minutes before heading home. Penny chased her shadow up and down the driveway, trying to catch it. I wish I had thought to snap a photo, but I was too busy chasing after her :)
