sweet p is 10 months!!!

i cannot believe penelope jane is 10! she has grown up so much and is such a sweet, fun little chick! bryan and i love spending time with her, just watching her figure things out and playing around. she's quite the chatter box and is VERY busy....she gets into everything she's not suppossed to get into. one funny thing she's been doing lately is trying to stand up in the middle of the floor...without any support from a wall or chair or person....she falls. she also can get around almost any barracade bryan sets up to keep her in one location. she's fun. i've really loved experimenting with making her clothes. here are 3 dresses and a caplet that were mommy-made for my sweet p. if ANYONE is interested in a pattern or tutorial on any of these items i'd be happy to try to put something together. BEWARE YOU HAVE ENTERED THE NO SMILE ZONE!!!(this is the case with most photo shoots. ha ha!)
