Camera is MIA. Hopefully I find it soon to update with pictures. Penelope had her 9 month appt last week. She is now 19 lbs which puts her in the 65th%, 27 inches (45th%) and one big head...can't remember the exact dimensions but I know she is in the 75th%. What can I say? She's a smarty and her brain needs a lot of room. She had to get 2 shots. It was worse this time then when she was little. At 2 weeks old I saw 2 emotions...screaming and quiet. But now she is a happy smiley baby and friendly to everyone. She was babbling to the nurse right to the moment of the shot. Then she wailed. So pitiful! I was about to nurse her because when she was little the dr told me it would be the best way to calm her down. Well, before I could do that the nurse asked, "Do you think a sticker would make her feel better?" Huh?! A sticker? She's a baby...isn't that for 5 year olds? Well, sure enough, she pulled out a very large bright My Little Pony sticker, waved it in front of Penelope. She stopped crying and reached out for the sticker. Shows what I know!
The Grandmama and Papa John will be here for the weekend so we are sure to have lots of pictures next week.

Poor thing! By the way, the elusive power of stickers doesn't end when kids are little. I still give out stickers as rewards for finishing grammar games to my 8TH GRADE STUDENTS, and they looovvvee them. (Of course, their love for stickers is in a more ironic- let's put the stickers on our foreheads and see if any teacher makes us take them off- kind of way).
Oooh, little monkey is growing so fast. So sweet. And yes, that's what I say about Connor's big head too. Careful.....might make everyone else jealous!! :)
And your breastfeeding post cracked me up by the end. And all I can say is "amen". All of that sacrifice.....they better appreciate it.
