Grandma & Grandpa's visit

Grandma and Grandpa from Virginia visited Penelope to help out once Chris went back to work. Grandma is still here...thank goodness because she is amazing at getting Penelope to sleep and letting me get some naps in. Penelope is doing great. She is back up to her birth weight. The dr says it is normal right now for me to have to wake her up to eat. Two nights this week I missed my alarm and Penny slept 6 hours! It was nice but she should be eating every 3 hours, 4 at the most...and actually it has been exactly 3 hours so time for a feeding! Here are some pictures:

Yay!!! I have been waiting and waiting and waiting......it looks like there are some pretty proud and happy grandparents. I'm so glad to see Jennifer got to come up too. I thought Papajohn wasn't going home until tomorrow??? Oh well, I'm sure he will try to get back as often as he can. So glad you are getting some rest.... Love to all!!!!

Awww I love your baby! She is so cute... and Penelope is such a great name. I thought it was the prettiest name ever when I was in first grade and I read a book about a girl named Penelope, only I pronounced it Penna-lope, like Cantaloupe.

The flash cards are hilarious... maybe she'll be reading by 3 months!

I LOVE when babies fall asleep on your chest. It's so precious. You all look great. I'm glad Cece was tolerant of your dad for at least a minute :)
