Thanksgiving and Great Grandma's visit

Okay, folks, here's a picture filled post!!
Here are Penny and Cece during tummy time. Look at her hold her head up! We do a few minutes multiple times a day. Trying to do 10 minutes at once makes her cranky. I try to convince her that I didn't know how to hold my head up either and it is very difficult but she still doesn't think I'm sympathetic enough when she wants to stop.



Way to go Penny!




This week, Penelope met her Great Grandmother from Virginia. She has been a day care teacher for years so they hit it off. GGMA also has magic baby nap dust like the grandmas. Here they are playing with the bumbo.

Last night Chris made a fire in our fireplace for the first time this yearThanksgiving day I tried to put Penny's Go Go booties on (they are from Lacey and are so adorable) They are still too big but I got this great picture.Here we are Thanksgiving morning
On Thanksgiving we went to Julie and Jennifer's place in St Paul (For the non-Strand family, these are Chris's grandfather's cousin's daughter's house...their entire family has been so wonderful to us since we moved to Minnesota) Here is Chris with a very clean plate. The food was obviously excellent!

Penny slept through the entire meal. Here she is with Lila, the sweetest dog I've ever met. She really could be one of those therapy dogs or go hang out at a senior citizen center.
This is Audrey--she wanted to play with Penelope. The crazy thing is that Audrey is 14 months so exactly the same age Penny will be next year at Thanksgiving. Boggles my mind!Jill and Marilyn

It's a lot of fun!Penny the person meets Penny the bunny (her name is short for Pennsylvania)
Julie and Penny--didn't catch a picture of Jennifer but I'll do that next time!

It looks like everyone had a lovely day. Laura you look amazing.
Penny gets more adorable each time I see a picture of her.
