Penny for your thoughts

Here's my sweet little Penelope Kim, a.k.a Penny. She has been a really easy baby so far and is definitely loved and adored by all her brothers and sisters. I've been especially surprised and touched by how much Solomon loves to take care of her. He is always offering to hold her while I shower or do other things. Isaac is so funny he loves to ask me a series of questions:

Ike: Can Penny run?
Mom: No
Ike: Can Penny talk?
Mom: nope
Ike: Can penny eat?
Mom: no
Ike: Yes she can, from Mommy.


This is always followed by uncontrollable laughter (on his part) I'm not sure why, but he thinks he is hilarious.


Jocelyn loves to interpret different noises Penny makes as words. She will get all excited and insist that Penny just said, yeah, or sure. Yes, my baby is apparently very precocious.


I really enjoyed Joseph's 3 weeks of paternity leave. The first day I jokingly asked him what was for dinner and he followed through by cooking almost every single meal for the entire time. He also did all the laundry, by the end he was informing me that we really need to buy one of those whirlpool duet washer and dryer. I should have hit him while he was weak, now that I'm back on laundry duty I think our *need* for a super washer and dryer was converted to a *need* for a ping pong table. (which we bought last Saturday).


I should have had him do more of the cleaning around the house while he was home, because my *need* to hire my housecleaner back isn't impressing him thus far...


Here's a few more pictures/pages of my sweet Penny girl.

I agree, beautiful picture. I love being able to "catch-up" with your sweet family. Time flies way to fast. Oh, and VERY cute about the Articles of Faith. Good job!

Beautiful girl, such a Berry child (looks-wise, I mean)! She should have her articles of faith down by next year with no problem :). Mason, too, has a special place in his heart for Emma. Maybe the oldest boy doesn't feel as threatened and really grows into a protective, loving big brother. It's so sweet to hear about Solomon loving her so much.
