Old man Penelope

You know what they say about old age being a lot like infancy? Well, no one warned me that the reverse is true. Penelope has recently entered the grunting phase. Sometimes, you would think we were running a nursing home. The sounds are hard to describe, but I never knew a baby could make them. Sometimes they sound like animal noises, but a lot of the time they sound like cranky old men who are upset at the world. They seem to be a new part of her sleeping routine, and frequently they are accompanied by intense stretching sessions. The facial expressions, combined with the grunts, are hilarious. I'm still attempting to figure out how to capture them with our video camera, but that has proven difficult. They seem to come when I least expect them. I'll have to see what other surprises she has in store for me.
