The sock angers me! Take it off, or I will make it damp!
Jess occasionally prefers a different viewpoint on life.
Oh, here goes Mom with the camera again...
Hey, what's this thing in my hand?
BOING!
Of course we would never expose Penny to violent movies. I'm sure Matt is just enraptured by Baby Mozart.
Is the hat crooked, or the baby? You decide!
This hat is unspeakably cute.
'Ya got nuttin on me! Nuttin, ya hear?' 'Tell it to the judge, Bugsy. You've always been a bad egg.'
An Easter tribute to Der Schrei?
Rubber ducky, you're the one!
You make bathtime lots of fun!
If you look close, you can see Penny's teeth in this one.
There's a cloth! On my head!
Ha-ha! Now I have the awesome power of the remote!
HAPPY BABY!
Tiny toes fill me with inexplicable delight.
How can she seem so big one moment, and so tiny the next?
Mom! Quit taking pictures and get on with the walk, already!
Oh, Dad is pushing the stroller. Very well, carry on.
If I make this face, the bullies on the playground steer clear.
This is Rebecca, who was in our Lamaze class, and her daughter, whose name escaped me.
Rebecca's husband's name also escaped me. Have I mentioned I'm bad with names?
This is Penny's Little House On The Prairie dress.
Penny plays on, blissfully unaware of the approach of the dreaded Numming Zerbertmonster!
I don't know why, but I think it's unspeakably cute when she juts out her chin like that.
Penny's Easter outfit, courtesy of Miss Charita from daycare.
Absolutely the most precious thing she's ever worn.
Even if the hat is about four sizes too big.
My hat! Where's my hat?!
This is the last time I let you borrow my clothes, Dad.
Dad! Look over there!
Now that he's distracted, I can eat this flower...
Us Brookseses
Look! Grandmom can stick her tongue out, too!
Wow, Grandmom has lots of teeth.
What is this big yellow thing?
Oh, it sings! Neat!
We love the singing duck!
YAY for Aunt Sam's singing duck!
Penny wants to give the singing duck a smooch.
Aunt Sam shares some serious advice about paper-chewing.
Off-screen Uncle John gives a demonstration.
Num! Num! Num! Am I doing it right, Aunt Sam?
What's this in Grandad's shirt pocket?
Look, Mom! Grandad has magic pockets! With toys! For me!
Oh, the duck is back! Yay, duck!
I make the coolest noises if I bang the rattle against my mouth!
Tulips from Matt for our 6th anniversary.
I like these fire-colored ones.
Matt! You've shrunk! Wait...
Penny wrinkles her nose for Mom.
My new clock, which I like a lot.
My new grass, which I also like a lot.
Our new deck: Day 1
Well, well, well... It's a hole in the ground.
Baby Behind Bars
I don't like these stairs!
So much for my stupid hole in the ground joke.
Wild strawberries! Not enough for a pie, though.
