"A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2013."

penny: while we were down in atlanta for a week and a half you grew so very close to your gaga & pop pop. you've always loved them, no question about that, but by the end of this trip i think you were pretty sure that their house was our new home. you cried a little when we left, and though it made me kind of sad, it also made me so happy that you so obviously love them as much as they do you. grandparents are a pretty special thing, and you are already well aware of that.

penny: you fell in love with pumpkins this year. every time you would spot one you'd shout "mommy, ohhhhhh!". and if it happened to be a sizable pumpkin, it would stop you dead in your tracks and you'd let out a loud "woooooah!". your enthusiasm is contagious!

penny: as far as looks go, you're pretty much a 100% combo baby. it's a 50/50 split when someone tells us who they think you look like. personally i don't see much of either your dad or i when i look at your face. however, there are two exceptions. when you give me a furrowed brow, dirty look kinda face... i see your dad. no doubt about it. and when i look into your sweet blue eyes i am instantly reminded that you are my girl. those baby blues have been handed down through a long line of wonderful family members, and i'm so proud that you can now claim them too.

penny: your recent love of slides has us scouting out new playgrounds almost every day. i just live for that little "weeee" you sing each time you push off.

penny: lately you are such a brave little toaster. you climb on everything, and no bench or table seems too tall for you. however, when you get yourself on top of these amazing conquests you then realize that your bravery doesn't cover the climb down. luckily your daddy and i are always near by to lend a helping hand.
