She is also one busy body! She's totally wiggly when you hold her, but will also cuddle, give hugs and kisses and recently when I ask her for a kiss she will kiss me with a full open mouth. She is the sweetest!

She is also really really smiley! When she is really happy or excited, she will crinkle her nose when she smiles. It's the full teeth crinkle nose smile and it is to die for!

I took her to her 9 month check up today with Dr. Kerwin and she is measuring great! She is in the 70th percentile for height, weight and head circumference! Penny now weighs 19 pounds 6 ounces, 72 cm tall and a perfect beautiful round head measuring 44.5cm.

(just for me to remember.. Carter at 9 months weighed 21 pounds, 75 cm tall and his head was 48.2 cm round. Bentley at 9 months was 18 pounds 10 ounces, 66 cm tall and his head was 45.7 cm round) So record has it, although Bentley weighed the most at birth, he is still our smallest baby and Penny sits right in between her two brothers!

Penny now has 7 teeth and working on number 8. She has taught me so much in her little 9 month life. She is sweet and cuddly and really just reminds me how much my children need me. Her smile can always fix a bad day and she is so patient when her brothers try to pick her up and carry her around for the 500th time that day. She is patient and loving and has a really fun personality. We are so lucky she belongs to us!

She has also changed SO much in the past 9 months! I can hardly believe it! And just in the past 3 months, her hair has grown so much! How fun!

Crazy that Brian is a year older too! FINALLY!! I swear from February 24 to July 1st each year, I try to just hide out and pretend that Brian is actually older than me and not the other way around.. at least now we can say we are both the same age. The past month for us has been INSANE trying to get our house ready to sell and listing it. Ill do a blog post hopefully next week about the amazing transformation. But because its been so busy Brian's birthday really got put on the back-burner. The kids and I did surprise him with a Blue Jays jersey but that was pretty much it.
