5 weeks!

I cannot believe that Penelope is already 5 weeks old. Time seems to go by so fast. In the past week I have really noticed her little personality. She has been very alert lately...and loves checking out her surroundings. Although, I find it so funny that when we have visitors or are around a lot of people she always tends to "fall asleep". Really I think she is playing possum! Could she be a little shy? Ha! She has also really been checking out Sean on the weekends. Since we have a pretty regular schedule during the week, I have noticed that the weekends are sometimes challenging because our routine is sometimes modified and her dad is home! At night I especially notice her behavior is different. She strains her neck when she is up feeding in the night to look at Sean sleeping. It cracks me up. I know that she recognizes her dad, and really knows his voice...but because he is only home on the weekends I think it is taking her a little time to figure it all out. :) well, today is going to be a great day because Penelope and I are taking our first "kind of big" road trip. We are driving an hour to Jackson to see a bunch of my girlfriends I grew up with in Brighton. Jackson is the most central area to meet and my friend Jen lives there. It will be so much fun to see everyone. Here are some recent pictures from the last week.

Posting my first video...hope it works!

This was a video that my sister Elizabeth was able to edit and put together for Sean and I. I just love it! She did such a good job. It is basically just a few clips...the first one is of Blake, Emily, and Grandma and Grandpa singing "Happy Birthday" to her. With the Csection, it was fun knowing the day and time of her birth!. Then there is a clip of Sean and I heading off to the hospital, and then Sean coming into my hospital room after she was born to give the news to the family that was waiting.

I hope this video works!
