Halloween Celebrations and Penny's First Month

This past weekend, Sophie was very busy!  She went to her music class on Saturday and then went shopping with Mommy for the first time since Penny was born.  The following day, she went to a Halloween party AND to a music/magic show, featuring crazy Davy and Norman McBride.  Sophie went as Belle, but plans to go as Snow White for actual Halloween.

Mommy has begun to get busier too.  She is now out and about taking Penny to doctor's appointments all by herself and picking up Sophie at school.  Initially, Sophie was a little disappointed by Grandpa not picking her up anymore, but Mommy took her out for cookies one day at Panera and to the playground the next, which remedied the situation.

Yesterday, Penny and Mommy had their first non-medical outting.  They went to the mall where Mommy tried in vain to get her an infant pumpkin costume.  However, we were quite successful in finding Sophie some more clothes and in starting (however minutely) our Chanukah shopping.

Today was Penny's 1 month doctor's visit (her one month birthday was yesterday).  Below are her stats:



Weight: 9 pounds, 3 ounces
Head: 37.75 cm
Length: 21.75 in

This makes Penny 50th percentile for length and between 25th and 50th percentile for her weight and head circumference.
