The PeneloPEChronicles

Hello my Friends.

In case you didn’t know already, I like to make faces.

Actually, better stated, I really REALLY like to make faces.

I used to give my faces names, but I’m running out of words. Perhaps with more time to master the English language, I’ll find the words to give titles to all of my faces. For now, I give you the faces. Most of them are for your delight. The picture above  is the one you’ll get if you interrupt my dinner time.

Hey Kids!!

These are my new friends, The Deals!! On the right is my buddy, The Lil’ Deal, and behind me is Dr. Real Deal. Strange names, no? I asked Daddy if they were their real names. He said yes. Oh well – guess there’s nothing wrong with that.

I gave the Lil’ Deal a big hug!!!

Not to be outdone, The Lil’ Deal gave me a hug right back…..

…and then we played Cops and Robbers!

…and FINALLY Penelope has COME BACK to the BLOGOSPHERE!!

Hello my friends. Daddy told me to say that. He said some of his special friends would understand. I’ve been around long enough to know that means his dweeb friends. Whatever.

I miss you. Have you missed me? I’ve been doing so much – too much to mess around with multiple posts. This is a mega post. If you’re pressed for time, come back later. I’m going to be rambling for some time. Daddy’s never going to play with me again at 4:30 in the morning once he’s finished transcribing and editing this post. Apologies in advance….I ain’t messin’ around with this post.

Nothing personal here – I’m not turning my back on you or anything. It’s just that Daddy just introduced that purple chair to me. He calls it my “Traveling Throne.” He said it was my first big girl chair. Let me tell you a little something: I like being a big girl.

You might be thinking from the face I’m making in this picture that I don’t like this chair very much. Far from the case. This is actually my “Oh the possibilities!” face.

An option I didn’t even consider initially was probably the most ingenious idea to date with the traveling throne. Sometimes Daddy isn’t so useless. I have a pretty hard time playing with the fabulous playpen with all the hanging goodies. My grip’s getting better, but my arms aren’t getting any longer. I can’t reach all of these goodies hanging from this contraption on my back.  This chair is the equalizer.

Lately, Daddy’s been referring to me as the most curious george on the big blue marble. Well, I have three words for Daddy: Guilty. As. Charged. I love seeing everything and everyone. What better place to be than on the front porch?! Cars, trucks, trains, mothers, kids, grandmothers, mailmen, and every other thing I can’t see from inside the house are now snooped by me on the regular. Joy!

In other news, Daddy’s in hot water for posting this. Been there, done that. Moving on….

A couple of parties went down recently. We got some of the band together to celebrate Uncle David’s Birthday. It was pretty sweet. Grammy and Aunt Goo were in the house.

I was straight chillin like you read about!!!

Another party at Aunt Emmy and Uncle Geoff”s popped off. Almost topped the last shindig there….

I was up late trying some new standing tricks with the aid of the couch.

Talk about fun!!

The day after the paaatay, Pop Pop finally took us to his cousin Gary and Gary’s better half Mary’s house. It might have been the coolest time I had since the night before!

A picture of Mary and myself is long overdue on this blog!

Me and Uncle Geoff were at it again

This purple dog moved in a couple of weeks ago. We’re still getting to know each other, but I think this is going to be a good situation. I like her bling.

Remember Bffe day a while back? And the next Bffe day that followed not too soon after? Well Daddy was a bit up in arms over the reign of the Bffes, so he decided to declare a “Dudes Day.” It was a pretty good time. I got to meet this blog’s biggest fan, Bobby, pictured above. He checks every day without prompting! How many of you can say that?

He was so cool, I let him feed me!

I thought the day was cool enough already until my new friend Danny showed up. I was really partying now! Just when I thought the day couldn’t get any better……

The first dudes day in history got out of hand when Mr. Pete showed up. What a day!!!!

And then it happened.

I’ve been assured that it wasn’t planned even though Daddy swears it was. The “it” I speak of is Dudes Day morphing into a Bffe Day before anyone could say dirty diaper.

Yeah, it was a slobberknocker (that’s another one of Daddy’s words he told me to use). One of the biggest parties I’ve ever been to. I got kissed by a bunch of people! I got to meet a couple of Bffes I hadn’t met yet.

Just hanging with Christa and Erin. Paula was busy keeping up with her posse.

I was like “Hey Paula, get over here and hang out with me and Christa.” Paula was like “Oh, Bust it!”

A couple of days after I recovered from party overload, Daddy’s friend Rebecca came over. She has the longest hair I’ve ever seen…..

The time had come for me to pay Aunt Lucy and Uncle David a visit. I hadn’t been to their house in a while. I love my aunt and uncle – I can’t understand why whenever we pay a visit, Mommy says “we’re going to visit the dweebs.”

They were watching television when I got there. Everyone from Daddy to Aunt Becca says tv is bad for me. But when in Rome…..

Uncle David has a cat – I think I like that cat. I heard Mommy say “I hate that cat.” I think this marked me and Mommy’s first disagreement.

The following pictures are a series of pictures I asked Daddy not to post, but he said he was going to post anyway. The above is #1.

#2

#3 (I can’t really be that fat, can I???)

#4

#5 (there are several pictures Daddy took moments later that were 10xs worse than this one. I won’t even show those to Mommy. I’m not always cute I guess, but don’t judge me. I read US Weekly – they’re some pretty bad pictures of some pretty good looking people in there.

#6 – I think that’s about all the humble pie I can take.

Notice anything funny about this picture?

Yup, that’s right – I’m drinking this bottle all by myself!

And milk never tasted so sweet.

Got to see my cousin Vanessa for the first time since her wedding!

Got to see Nana for the first time since Vanessa’s wedding!

And I got to see AunTia for the first time since Vanessa’s wedding!!

Me and the Maltais Clan!

I’ve got good news and bad news: the good news is that I have a new friend Scarlett. She’s the coolest. She’s only a few days/weeks old in this picture. The bad news is that she’s basically the same size that I was at her age which means I might have to dress as a whale for Halloween.

Pop Pop likes playing games with my pacifier. Somebody please tell him I don’t play games with my pacifier.

Couldn’t figure out which toy to play with so I just played with Grammy.

The other day, Daddy said it was time for me to try some big girl food. I wasn’t so thrilled at first. Then I took my first bite. Daddy said it went over like gangbusters. That must mean incredible in Daddy talk.

This stuff is delightful!

Finger Licking Good!!!!

Well, thanks for coming by – hopefully it won’t be long till I’m rapping to you again! So long!

One more for the road!! Ha!!

Okay, no, seriously, I’m done for real this time!

Sorry, I can”t get enough of you!

Okay guys, I’m really done this time. Seriously. I mean it. I gotta get back to business.

Long time no see guys! Nuttin by movies to see here – enjoy!

Hi there Lovies!

I’ve been spending time with some new friends recently. I think I like them. Some of them talk and make funny noises. They’re soft, cuddly and always have a bunch of time on their hands to play with me whenever I want. Sure, Daddy says they’re not real, but who cares? I’m having the time of my life!

Hey kids!

These are my buddies Suri and Gabri. We kick it once a week. They’re usually fun to play with, but on this day I think they had their own thing going on. Actually scratch that. I was the one in my own world on that day. So much so, I didn’t realize how awesome the toy was the twins were playing with.

Hey sweetie pies!!!

Sorry it’s been so long since I talked to you. Daddy said he was having technical difficulties. I don’t know what that means, but I just hope I don’t catch it.

Speaking of Daddy, I love giving  him the business on my page. I’m gonna throw him a bone and throw a shout out to him. He may be weird, and he may be a dweeb, but he loves me and plays with me if I want no matter what time it is. I guess that lets him off the hook for taking so long to choose my outfit. I decided to throw up some of his favorite pictures of the two of us.
