Crying Eyes

Today I experienced something that I'm sure all mother's have gone through. Your baby screaming in the backseat of the car while you drive home helpless to do anything. Since Jet has been home I've been able to ride in the backseat with him while David drives. Jet has cried before but usually likes carrides and is consoled by a bottle or pacifier or my voice or something. Not so today. And this is what I thought.

When your special day comes and baby is born - you're scared and disoriented as the doctor delivers the most precious thing in your world...but then you hear the sound of your baby crying when he's out and finally here and it is the most beautiful sound in the world... and you cry too. Then one month later when you're in the car and your baby is screaming and upset and wanting to be out of his carseat...it is that same baby crying...but this time it's the most horrible sound in the world and you feel helpless and frantic...and you finally get home and hands shaking get him out of what now seems to be a baby torture device! lol...and you cry too. And you'll marvel how a sound can be so beautiful and fill your heart with joy...and then later on rip your heart out and leave you exhausted! But it's all because you're his mommy...and he's a part of you...and he and always will be.

Now don't worry...I will brave this storm again. I'm not going to just stay home and refuse to drive my baby around. lol. And I'm sure it will get easier...but never easy. Am I right? :) Jet- your mommy loves you and she's so glad your sleeping soundly now and hopes you won't remember this experience when you wake up.

Uncle Dan'l

Today we had a special visit from Uncle Dan'l all the way from Florida! This was the first meeting between the two so Jet got all fixed up and decided once again that he wanted his picture made. That boy is obsessed! lol. Uncle Daniel brought a little soccer set for "BJ" (Baby Jet - Uncle Daniel's special nickname :)) and Daddy played with it right away. Jet didn't even fuss - he shares so nicely. What a good boy. :) Okay...picture time.

Nice to Meet You

The Penny Boys

So here we are on a beautiful July morning. :)

First Impressions

Hello everyone! Jet woke up this morning and asked me to take some more pictures of him. I thought he looked pretty cute myself so I agreed. He did a wonderful job posing for the camera and seemed very happy with all the attention. :) He is becoming a bit of a cuddle bunny and doesn't like to be put down for very long - but this morning he was content to be propped up and posed like a pro. Isn't he the handsomest? 

So Jet got the idea to do some impressions during the photo shoot. Ya know, just to spice things up. So here is young impressionist Jet Montgomery Penny and his impression of the 7 dwarves. :) 

You know...as in Snow White.

 Drumroll please...

Happy

Doc 

(ok...so what can you do for Doc anyway?)

Bashful

Sneezy

Grumpy

Sleepy

Dopey

Ta - Da! :) Have a great day everybody. Love ~ Jet

Baby of the Month!

Well - he didn't actually win any awards that I know of - but Jet did turn one month old yesterday (on his cousin Claire's 17th birthday - she was sweet enough to share her day with him. :)) We went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast - my first morning outing ever! Can you an believe a whole month has gone by!? He has certainly outgrown a few outfits now, but he still seems so new (even if he's not quite fitting in newborn. lol.) We are so happy at how well he is doing. We had another head ultrasound this past tuesday and NO SHUNT is still the verdict. He is happy and healthy (aside from some baby reflux - I think they used to call it colic. lol.- that makes him fussy and upset at least a few hours a day.) I feel bad for him when he burps then cries (I'm pretty sure cause it burns) because that's what I went through during the pregnancy! lol. I know his pain and it's so sad when his little lip curls and he gets so sad. He's still a good eater though and weighed in 8lbs8oz at the pediatrician this week. Not quite what I was when I was BORN! But he's gettin' there. :) 

So happy 1 month birthday little man!

Aunt Nenna (okay - it's really Jenna...) and little cousin Jane.

Happy Family.

Auntie Kay thinks I'm so cute! I make silly faces.

Wedding Weekend

Hey everyone! This is Jet speaking. :) This weekend my Uncle Nate and Aunt Kelly got married and boy were we busy. Rehearsal dinner, bridesmaids at the house, lots pictures and family all around. I had so much fun and attention.

Aunt Kayleigh is so sweet. I love her.

This is my Aunt Kelly. She is the bride. Isn't she pretty?

I got to meet my Aunt Nenna and cousin Jane for the first time.  Jane is 3 months older than me. I like her red hair. :)

Happy Father's Day!

Here are some photos of our little man and his daddy this morning. :) Jet did some Father's Day shopping for his daddy but slept through the opening of the gifts. Oh well. :) As you can see from the pictures, they really like each other a lot. Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful father's out there! 

Thought this was a fun little series of pictures. :)

Hi Mommy!

I need something to chew on...

Oh! My hands are yummy.

Uh oh! I'm not happy anymore...

Paci makes it all better. :)

Little Squirt

Hiya folks! All is well at the Penny house as we near a very busy weekend. Uncle Nate and Aunt Kelly are getting married and lots of family are coming into town and getting ready. Jet has been preparing for the big weekend by getting some good rest balanced with about an hour of awake time in between 4 hour naps. :) He decided today that he better get out of the house and test out his carseat a little more before the rehearsal dinner tonight and wedding tomorrow (two big outings for our little guy). He went on his first trip to Target! And this little squirt loves car rides in the same way he hates having his diaper changed. lol. He immediately quiets any fussing as soon as we get him in the car and often falls right to sleep. Great news as far as Mommy and Daddy are concerned. :) So as Jet prepares for his big debut at the wedding, we keep capturing every moment on Mommy's camera. Here's the little cutie in an outfit he is quickly outgrowing. Love to all!

A little devious don't ya think? lol. I think we're in trouble.
