Random pictures of Penny! We had some requests for more pictures so here they are.
Penny had her first trip to church yesterday. She was really really good. She didn't make any noise but she was still a distraction. People kept turning around and checking her out during the meetings. It was fun to introduce her to every one. I think she was a hit!
This is Penny in her Bumbo chair. She doesn't really quite fit in it but Steve likes to put her in it any way.
Penny loves bath time. Steve kept spraying her and she would get all excited everytime he did.
Penny is a little wiggler. She likes to arch her back and stick her head back really far. When we take her outside she will do this when she gets in the sun. She just closes her eyes and relaxes in the sun. She loves it! Steve can't get enough of his little girl. He likes to take her to work with him and loves to play with her every chance he gets.
This is an example of Penny's explosive poo. She puts some power behind it. I was changing her diaper the other day and I guess I had her aimed the wrong direction because the next thing I knew I had poo down my stomach, pants, in my shoe and all over the floor.
This is closest we have gotten to catching Penny smiling in a picture. We love her little smile and can't wait until she is actually smiling at us.
A couple here at Sueno saw this bike and decided Penny and I needed it! So now we have a brand new bike to ride around the beach and in town on. People have been so generous and nice. We have received a lot of nice gifts and a lot of love and support from the guests here. When ever we take Penny outside people come running to check her out. There is always a group following her around. She is the most popular girl here and she doesn't even know it.

blog and has not kept it up I am going to take a stab at it. I am not very good at stuff like this so we will see how it goes. As many of you know Penny Laine has arrived! She came on November 8th. She weighed 8 lbs and was 21 inches long. I ended up having to have a c-section after 10 hours of labor. She is healthy and very content. We have been very lucky because she is such an easy going baby. Steve's little sister Suzi had her baby the same day as well, which is going to be very fun! They are twin cousins.
Having a baby in Belize was a little bit different. They don't provide any thing. After she was born they asked us for soap, a wash cloth, and towel to clean her. I was not able to sit up for the first 12 hours after she was born so they gave her formula and we didn't bring a bottle so they fed her out of a little cup. 
My Mom and Dad were both here for Penny's arrival. It has been fun having them here to enjoy the new baby and help out.
Check out her cheeks. This picture makes them look huge but they aren't quite that big in real life. She likes to have her hands near her face. Occasionally a finger makes it in her mouth. 
When she isn't bundled up this is how Penny likes to sleep...arms extended up above her head. We are so excited she is finally here. Thanks for all of the love and support! We appreciate all of the calls and e-mails.
