Here's my Christmas list right here, Mom!
Now, let's just put the box over - hey, TV!
My foot! DAD! MY foot!
Tsk. So young, and already a couch potato...
She is Powerful! For lo! She holds the REMOTE!
Matt wonders how Penny got the remote and his seat.
Storytime!
(picture shamelessly swiped from Matt)
For a nifty examination of how much she's grown in three months, compare this picture to this one.
I've seen less convincing art...
Penny hops on IRC to chat with Jess.
Hey, Mom, do you mind not reading over my shoulder, here?!
Gran'pa Brooks made a stool for Penny.
The letters come out like puzzle pieces. And in the P, that's the 2003 penny we'd included with her birth announcement.
Penny loves it.
It's even the perfect size for her to sit on!
'Look, Dad! I got my own seat!'
Storytime!
Okay, Mom, I'll play peek-a-boo for you, but I won't be happy about it!
(It's very important that Dad have enough blocks to play with at work.)
It's a box! No, it's a hat!
Penny has finally discovered the allure of 'filling.'
As near as we can tell, Penny's first-ever stack of blocks.
Read me a story, Dad!
Once upon a time...
This page is boring. Next page!
Look at all those words? What am I, a preschooler?
Penny as an old woman: When I was growing up, we had nothing to play with but headless nesting dolls! And we liked it!
Penny gets the funk.

Penny double-checks the bags at the grocery store.
I love you, Mommy. And I love the TV.

Weird mushroom that suddenly cropped up in our yard.
Thanksgiving baby
Penny likes to wear her hat just so.
Holy cow, did you see the size of that ham?!
B'loooooon!
Hey, new toys! Er, old toys. Whatever!
We give thanks for family and friends. But wish Jess's highchair was a little... higher.
Everyone likes a rousing post-dinner game of Open And Closed!
'...and it has this shiny purple ribbon!'
Mom, look! They come in white, too!
Jess hides under the table.
Our house was just overflowing with baby cuteness.
Jess! C'mere! Look! Grandmom's Spanish flashcards!
Whaddya mean, I can't read yet?
Pick a card, any card!
C'mon, Dad, leggo! I wanna crumple flashcards, too!
While Penny is distracted, Jess dives for the escape hatch.
What could possibly be on that card to make him smile like that?
JESS! C'MERE! You gotta TRY THIS!
Mmm, tasty! Or should I say, BIEN!
Is it just me, or does Jess look like a vampire about to leap?
Grandmom Luck shares the fun with Jess.
Penny's Marlon Brando impersonation.
Uh... Jess? Dont' look now, but someone's sneaking up on you...
Run away! Run away! (But not too fast, or he might not catch us!)
Jess likes being upside-down almost as much as Penny does.
Why are these feet sticking out from under this tree?
Penny: Ohmigod! Help! This tree is eating my Grandad!
Jess: I'll help! There's a flashlight around here somewhere!
Isn't light supposed to come out of the tree?
Hmm... Flashlight, or coaster?
Hey, look! Lights!
There's a light on this tree that won't light on one side.
The Troll-baby who lives under the counter.
Has she even noticed me yet?
See, Dad? I'm all ready for when you get me my pony!
Grandmom looks silly wearing
Peekaboo!
