6 months

Holy cow.  This kid is 6 months old already!  Half a year has passes since she was born.  Andy and I joke all the time that having a baby is like the ultimate science experiment.  All the amazing changes she has gone through have been fascinating to watch.  She can sit up on her own now, eats all kinds of mushy food, laughs constantly, recognizes us in a crowd of people, and that smile!  It kills me daily.  It melts my heart and makes my soul soar at the same time. 

 I just got back from a trip to South Carolina to visit my grandfather (Penny's great-grandfather).  My brother and his wife and son came along with my parents too.  More 4 generation pics!

I think this is my favorite picture from the trip.  Penny just wanted to reach out and touch her great-grandfather all the time.  She just loved holding his hand!
