And what a month it's been! I have a new job, one that teaches me the true meaning of "full time."
Sometimes I sit and marvel about how much my life has changed-- and how it's never going to go back to how it was. That's always a daunting feeling, to realize that you've taken steps forward and can never go back. Life is always like that, and I can't say I ever WANT to go back, but just realizing I cannot go back is so humbling. I loved high school, but would I ever go back? Would I ever want to undo everything I've done since then? No, absolutely not. But do I ever miss those days of inside jokes, laughing so hard I couldn't stop, friends that meant the world to me, band, choir, boys, and spending-money? Sure. But life moves on, onwards and upwards. High school was great, but it wasn't the pinnacle of my life. And while it was fun to be married, just Kevin and me, it is amazing to now have our little Penny.
And she's a month old!
These pictures are from the last couple days.
This was on Wednesday, when I moved her up from newborn to 0-3 month clothes. (Yes, you'd think 0-3 would include newborn, but it doesn't. I think the sizes are completely random anyway.)
She was really sitting in her swing holding her hands like this! I think she's practicing her Harry Potter spell skills.
And just today she noticed the mobile on her swing for the first time. She's been getting better and better at focusing on things, but just in the last two days, she's "woken up" and just been so aware of her surroundings!

oh so very cute! I think that last one is one of the few with her eyes open! I'm glad you are enjoying your new forever job.
Learning from when Cami was a baby, I went through Adam's 3-6 month onesies to see if any of them would fit. Almost all of them he fits into and some of them were even smaller than 0-3 months and he will never wear them. Carters onesies are longer and, I've found, work best for my long babies.
OH OH OH! I love that last picture! I know that Emily already said that, but I love how her eyes and mouth wide open. So cute.
I like that pic of her staring at the mobile. So cute!
Penny is very cute. Love the pics.
Penny Penny Penny! What a cutie. I want to pinch her cheeks. Good things we live so far away or I would torture her at 2GT every week.
Thank you for your sentiments on your life-change. I feel the same way!
Love that little girl of yours!
So cute! I love the one looking at the Mobile just like the rest of my sisters.
That is definitely a keeper.
How fun. I felt the same way with the realization that I would be a mother forever, it is a little daunting. But at the same time you love them so much that it has to be for forever.
Such fabulous pictures. I love the one with her Harry Potter hands. She has such dainty fingers!! I'm glad that you are happy and things are going well. Congrats!
