Hoppy Easter

So much has happened over the last two weeks that there is no way that everything can be written about so here are just a few highlights. Penny is definitely growing like a little weed. She is now over 19 pounds and her hair is coming in quite fast. Depending on the day her eyes look blue, brown or hazel. She is not crawling yet but that does not seem to phase her as she is able to roll and spin herself to where ever she wants to go. She loves to stand. When she is standing she looks around with a big smile to make sure that everyone notices her. She is still full of personality, smiling and laughing at anyone who will give her attention. One of the highlights of a couple of weekends ago was Penny's first taste of Huntley ice cream. She took the cone right to her mouth. Soon she got a brain freeze. Once that left she was right back at the ice cream.


Penelope's first Easter was wonderful. Martina put a little basket together with gifts from the Easter Bunny Nana and Grandma. Penny loved her books, bathing suits and dresses. For lunch it was off to Grand Daddy's house for the family meal. Everyone had a good time eating and playing with Penny. One of the best part of this past month has been having Papa around. Penny and Papa have been able to spend lots of quality time together. They both love their naps.

Here are just a few of the good times over the past few weeks.

A Touch of Gold

Martina was quite excited last week when she got to hold Heather Moyse's gold medal from the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Moyse won the medal as part of the woman's two person bobsled team. Only in PEI would someone pass around a gold medal in a room of strangers and not be worried that someone would walkout with it. The family was at the 2010 Amateur Sports Awards. Colby was nominated for Intercollegiate Male Athlete of the Year. Of course he walked away as the winner. Penny was so proud of her uncle.

Penny has had a another great week. She has so much personality. She loves people and will pretty much smile at anyone. With the weather getting better the fam has been able to get out for a few walks. Penny loves to look at everything and everybody who passes by. Thursday was a big day for Penny as Papa flew home and the two got to reconnect with each other. This past Saturday Jason and Martina were invited to an eighties party. Penny joined them and found a pretty rad outfit for the evening.

Beginning Her Studies

Now that the Biech's are home from Florida routine has once again entered Penny's life. Everyday consists of eating, sleeping and playing. Except Friday afternoons which involve a swimming date with her best friend Jack. They spend the afternoon splashing in the water while chattering back and forth. There are two other activities that Penny thoroughly enjoys. She loves her Winnie the Pooh book. The book talks to her and plays music. Penny turns the pages and moves the characters to talk. She often gets so excited that she screams with delight at the book and everyone who is in the room.
The other activity is staring at all the pictures on the fridge of family and friends. The other day Jason put her on the floor in front of the fridges and she just stared at the pictures for ten minutes. Every now and then she would look at her parents and give a shout of delight. Crawling is still a challenge as she does not want to get up on her hands or knees. No teeth yet but she definitely loves to chew on everything.
