Want some chocolate, Mom?
So... How're you enjoying that Hallowe'en candy?
Mm, chocolate-coated baby. My favorite.
Dinosaur origami. Rarr!
You know what Penny can do all by herself?
Turn the porch light on and off!
She still gets Uncle John to help with the mashrinka dolls, though.
Hat?
Hat!
Pu'kin bowl
Twenty-nine again?
Penny was very adamant about telling everyone not to touch the burning candles.
She thought Mom blowing them out was neat, though.
Okay, Mom, quit fiddling around and get me some cake already!
Mm, tasty!
Messy, but tasty.
Dad? Why are you taking pictures when there's ice cream in front of you?
Ice cream bliss
How big a bite of cake can Penny take? Pretty big.
Get that finger any closer to my ice cream, Grandpa, and I'll whap you with my spoon!
Interesting leaf-turning patterns
One week later, this pattern was completely gone.
Do you mind, Mom? There's a cat on this chair that I'm trying to bother!
Mom! Cats have whiskers! Who knew?!
Lion King Zombies
Check out the suppressed giggle on Penny's face. That's because we're just about to get to the funniest scene of the movie, which is...
...the wildebeest stampede!
All Heidi really wanted was to sit close to Penny.
All Penny really wanted was to watch Lion King.
The Turnitsas
Penny's latest favorite toy? Her old baby bathtub.
I can't believe she used to fit in it.
Now, she wedges herself in...
And we rock it and sing 'Row Row Row Your Boat.'
And then she falls out. On purpose.
Penny was not really all that keen on the bagel, but she had fun with the Raspberry Cream Cheese spread.
I love this expression of utter concentration on Penny's face, here.
Why yes, Penny is using a straw to eat a pat of butter.
It kept her occupied and happy for almost ten whole minutes, so I'd do it again.
John and Sam
Can't... make... mouth... big enough!
Oh, wait. Sideways. Yum, pizza!
'Hello! Howa you?'
Talking on the phone to Gramma Brooks
Helping Grampa rake the leaves.
Boy, this is tough work!
Going for a walk with Daddy.
Going for a walk with Grampa.
Chocolate mousse pie beats ice cream.
'Daddy's chocolate?' 'Penny's chocolate!!' Back off, Dad!
Gramma enjoys watching Penny eat dessert so much that Gramma forgets to eat her own.
Just 'cause chocolate mousse beats ice cream, does not mean that ice cream will not be eaten.
Penny loves ice cream!
That bit right there? I'm saving it for last!
Holy cow; we're all looking in the same direction and smiling, and no one even blinked!
Penny helps Grampa clean up.
Penny shows Gramma the ribbit-cheer.
Gramma does the ribbit-cheer for Penny. Matt wonders if he can subtly escape.
Penny does the ribbit-cheer for Grampa.
...and is distracted by the nesting egg-dolls.
Hey, a stylin' seasonal hat!
...and a cute dress to match!
Penny says her new outfit is 'so cute!'
Daddy share!
