Sunday night update

The other day (yesterday) Kevin took a nap, so Penny and I took a walk... to Carl's Junior. I wanted a milkshake. In my benevolence, I even thought about buying Kevin one. But they were $3.29-- each! I mean, I do have money coming out my ears, but I have better things to spend it on.
So we lengthened our walk a bit to go to the grocery store, picked up malted milk and ice cream, and came home to have unlimited milkshakes.... until the ice cream runs out.
And for other news in Penny Land, this week she discovered her hand. She now likes to chew on it and has been known to really go to town on it!
And this is Penny's first foray into literature: Anna Karenina. I started reading this the summer before Kevin and I got married. It's his favorite book, and I never read it. I restarted it just recently, and with all my time spent sitting around nursing Penny, I should get it read pretty quick here.

I have nothing to say about this next one.



And this is my dear little Penny doing her push-ups. This is about as far as she goes. When she's squirming and ootching on the ground, it reminds me of those Garfield cartoons where his tummy grew so big he couldn't walk but just flailed his legs helplessly. Yes, Penny in a nutshell. ;)


And in other exciting news, our toilet is broken. I mean it still does its little-but-vital job, but the water is constantly running. This really bothered us-- Kevin for the noise and me for the water wasting-- so I just cranked the knob and turned off the water to the toilet. Um, now it still runs despite being turned off. Ugh! Our apt. manager is coming to fix some other things on Monday (the kitchen light that blew out something and the front door that sticks shut), and I'll jsut tell him about it then.

I cracked up at the picture of Kevin with the cat in the Baby Bjorn. Ha! Classic. The cat does NOT look happy.

Okay how do you nurse and read at the same time. Every time I tried it was a disaster. I always had to use one hand to hold the baby and the other to keep my boob from smothering them.

Penny is such a chub! She's so cute! Glad you can get lots of reading done! Only books I've read lately are Barnyard Dance and SpongeBob Square Pants =).

Same exact thing happened to our toilet! We shut off the water and it still ran for days until we got it fixed!! Oh yeah, and your baby is so stinkin' cute!

Cute Baby!

And I'm impressed with your rejecting the expensive milkshake and making your own! I have to admit I'd probably just gone for the milkshake.
