Here are some pictures from my phone. Little Penny is 12 weeks old and weighs 12 lbs. 
Today was the first day at daycare. I can't say enough how lucky we are that Chris got to stay home with her for my first few days at work and how wonderful it is that I'm only working in the office 2 days a week for December. It was so hard to drop her off. She was smiling and looking around at everything. I was crying so hard in the car. Everyone at work was so supportive since many of them have been in the same boat. At lunch I went back to see her. The owner met me at the door and said "well, it has been a rough morning" I guess Penny didn't want to be put down most of the morning...plus, she is definitly in a growth spurt. She even shocked the teachers with how much she ate in a few hours. I don't know how I'm going to keep up with the little monster! On the positive side I guess I don't have to worry about her being such a good baby that she gets ignored! As her Aunt Pam says she is such a little spitfire :) The daycare has put her crib next to a rocking chair so I was able to feed her (can't believe she was still hungry!) and rock her to sleep. That was a very special hour. When I came back at 4:30 they said she did much better in the afternoon. She gave me a huge smile and started talking up a storm when I arrived.

Well, it is 8 pm and I think I'm going to head off to bed. I could start decorating the tree...we bought a tree on Sunday and still have yet to put one thing on it....and the christmas cards are still in the plastic Target bag...

You're just like your dad. We bought a tree on Sunday and don't have anything on it either. Jenny looked so smiley in the pictures you took with your cell phone. She is a cute one.
Yeah, the daycare situation is tough. I was a mess when I took Aidan for the first time. It was easier with Owen because I had actually spent time away from him before I went back to work. It does get easier and just think of how much fun she will have! It's great that you can go see her on your lunch break. I am so jealous :)
Great pics too!
Thats my little grandaughter !
You sing out penny.
Just seeing her smile makes me smile!!!!!!! :) Seriously-- cutest baby ever!!!! :)
You go Penny!! Don't be afraid to ask errr demand what you want!!!! I can't imagine how difficult that was for you.....I have a hard enough time with my furry children! :-) However, that just goes to show what a great Mom you are!!! If you were glad to drop her off I would be worried (although, I know there will come a time when you welcome a break). Give her extra hugs and kisses!!!!!
I promise it will get better for both of you! Evie wasn't really happy at daycare until about 3 weeks into. It took that long before I saw her laughing and cooing and having fun when I'd go check on her.
