Sweet You at 9 months old!

Dear Sweet Penelope,
You are 9 months old today and we celebrate you and the gift you are to us. You give us so much happiness and joy as each new day dawns and you awake. It is as if a baby is born in our home every day when you wake up. Everyone wants to get you, hold you, begin loving you again, and again, and again! What would we do without our sweet Pen-Pen? You are joyful, loving (you give the tightest squeezes as you crawl up mommy), you love to be spoken to and will oftentimes nuzzle in a bit closer for a kiss and a whisper in your little ears. You make such silly sounds and make us all laugh with your goofy smiles and adorable 7 teeth! You are one fast crawler, who now climbs the little step into the dining room! A girl on a mission: that is you, Pen-Pen! You love to stand and walk as you hold on to our fingers. Your squeaks when you laugh make us laugh too. Thank you, Lord, for this sweet girl of Yours. We are blessed to have her in our lives and in our care. We give You thanks and celebrate this day! (How sweet it was this evening and afternoon to see your biggest sister Maddy letting others know our joy today that you are 9 months old! We want to share all about you!) You are our little Picles!




St. Martha, pray for us that we too can be worthy of Jesus' promises. What a special feast day to be celebrating Miss Penelope's 9 months of life.
