Monday was a special day as Jason got the opportunity to spend Valentine's Day with his two girls. Cards were given with lots of hugs, kisses and laughs. Nana came down on the weekend so Martina and Jason were able to go out for supper. 
So on Valentines Day the family supported the school by attending a spaghetti dinner. Penny got all dolled up and they had a great time with friends. Penny definitely has the ability to put a smile on people's face. 
Where does time go? Penny is already a half a year old. Each week she seems to grow a bit and interact with the world around her even more. Considering how much she is eating now, it is know wonder she is putting on some weight. 
She is reaching for everything and loves to listen to music and watch sports (Daddy is so proud). Penny has quite the personality and turns it on when she is around people with big smiles. It won't be long before she is crawling, standing up and even walking. 
What a better way to celebrate a six month birthday than a road trip. Nana, Martina and Penny headed up west on Saturday morning to visit some of the relatives. Unfortunately Jason had to stay home and work on his course. The first stop was at Nanny and Pappy's house where Penny told all kinds of stories and had a little lunch. She was so interested in the food that she reached out and grabbed a big handful of potatoes off Martina's plate. 
After the game Penny spent some quality time with her uncle. Sitting up and giving lots of smiles. It was then time to come home. Penny slept the whole way home. It was quite a day. 
Got to love it when forecaster's say there is a blowing snow warning. That is music to a teacher's ears. Over the last day the Island has been hit with another storm that brought a bunch of snow and high winds. The announcement was made early this morning that there was no school today, so Jason got to spend another day at home with his girls. 
This was an eventful day filled with snow shoveling, playing in the snow, eating good food, playing games and of course some rest. Penny is doing all kinds of new things like sleeping on her belly, sitting up(at least a minute at a time), playing in the snow and even trying new foods like toast and peas. 
Speaking of peas, Martina decided to put her culinary skills into action and whipped up some peas for Penny to try. They were so bright green, Jason named them Rider Peas. Penny wasn't overly thrilled by them. They must of had quite a punch on her taste buds. Since it was a snow day, here is a little photo shoot of the star attraction.
Since real food has been introduced into Penny's diet she has been growing like a little weed. She is even starting to get a little belly on her. She loves her cereal and as you can see by the video she shakes with enthusiasm when food is around. She is also starting to interact more with the world around her. She loves to play on the floor with her toys and is a little squirmy in her seats. Once this girl learns to crawl she is going to to keep her mom real busy during the day. 
Another storm went trough the Island yesterday, so the family had lots of time to just relax and play. Then it was off to friends for the Superbowl. Penny had fun with her friends and watched some of the game. Since the Riders were not playing Penny was not overly interested in the teams playing. Other than that not much else has been going one. Living life and loving it. Waiting for another 10 cm of snow tomorrow. It has certainly been a good old PEI winter.
