*Time Saving Trick: After washing dishes, while cuticles are soapy & soaked, gently push them back with a cuticle stick. Buff after for a clean surface.

Penelope 1 Month...Already!
I can't believe my lil Pipa-Roo is 1 Month old. The month flew!! I got her onesie stickers from Etsy, Purple Possum. Headband (my binge of many) is from Harts and Roses, Etsy. Her onesie is Gerber, rocking chair was my Great Grandfathers that I used as a child, bunny was mine from when Build-a-Bear began, and the blankie was mine as a child, made by my Great Grandma.
Harts and Roses makes the cutest headbands & Lace Petti Rompers!! I definitely NEED a lace petti romper for a near future professional photo.
On her 1st month, she has already accomplished so much!! She smiles, not a ton but her pediatrician says it will increase incredibly soon. She focuses a ton, kicks a lot, pushes us away when she's tired of us kissing her, she loves tummy time & has great neck strength & honest to goodness, rolled over for the first time, late last week. She's not a huge paci fan but since week #1, she has been able to push it in her mouth & yank it out. Recently, I've been making faces at her and she sticks her tongue out, when I'm doing the same. She loves to dance along with me and snuggle with us. Penelope is already a sparkler, she is vivacious with a bit of attitude. After our 1 month Peds appointment yesterday, we were informed that her demanding demeanor & cries, to be held, bounced, carried, & fussed with are just that....her personality not really a gas issue. It seems babies that are "sparklers" tend to be "A" type, very focused, determined, over achievers that need a challenge. We were also informed that the personality shown even this young is their personality in the later years. With that in mind, we are truly in for it! She is going to make us grey & tired. Wait, more tired than now?! SHEESH! : )
My lil Penelope Rose is an absolute love of my life...can't leave my hubby out on that one!! Even with her "A" type personality, the tiredness she makes me endure, and her demands, I can not get enough of her! I love to snuggle her, make faces at her, dance with her, take her for peaceful walks, kiss her to an oblivion, and simply tend to her hoping to be the best mommy possible for her. I can not get enough of my lil Piparoo & am constantly mesmerized by her every single day. The love for a child is crazy intense, definitely nothing like it out there!!

Mani Monday
Whoa my nails are growing like weeds!! My nails have never been this long!! Knock on wood, they don't break now. : )
Anyways...I made a trip to my local Sally's Beauty Supply for self tanning gloves & a polish clean up brush. Needless to say, I have THE worst addiction to nail polish!!! I wound up getting 2 China Glaze polishes. One featured in this week's manicure, I applied to my toes too. I LOVE this color!! Rosy brown...I love the way it looks on my pasty skin & know it will look pretty on my self tanned skin.
Check out my Sally's Beauty Haul posted later this week for the other goodies I got. : )

Enjoying the Calm
Finally we are feeling normal & calm. Penelope was gassy & barely consolable for slightly over 2 weeks. Yikes!!! She's still not 100% but better. It took a toll as we could not bare to hear her cry due to being uncomfortable & had minimal ways to console her. She was crying so much on & off & was difficult to put to sleep. I pray & knock on wood all the time, that she doesn't develop colic. I am terrified of it!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, one of my worst fears!!! While Penelope had this gas issue & was experiencing a growth spurt, we were very limited as to where we could go, let's face it, no one likes a crying grumpy baby, even a newborn. We were exhausted & stressed & so was she.
With little help from a homeopathic gripe water & Mylicon imitation, (I believe none of that really worked, maybe gave some minor comfort to her) she is finally better!!! PHEW!!!! I really believe time passing & her digestive system maturing a tad, was the real cure. We are wedging rolled up blankets & putting her on her side for daily naps, as that seems to help her sleep. (Already a picky sleeper, hahaha)!! I know, I know, it's a SIDS thing but I wouldn't do this unless it's day time & either Jay or myself can keep a constant eye on her. At night, she sleeps flat on her back in the Moses Basket, next to my side of the bed.
I do wonder why no one gave us a heads up to this gas thing & the amount of time it takes to get better. Thanks, friends & family with kids!!! ; ) I hope that the crabby fussy baby bs is long gone at least for awhile. It's heartbreaking when your baby is uncomfortable, overly tired, & experiencing wretched gas pains. It's so hard to deal with this when you are overtired & can't truly fix the problem. I really believe that for us, the issue was simply her little system developing. Neither of us has any concrete food allergies & red flags of allergies was not prevalent in Penelope. (I am not officially diagnosed but believe to have a gluten allergy, I will be getting an allergy test done soon).
It's amazing, the calm after the storm!!! We feel great, she feels great!! We're all happy & relaxed, thanks be to God!! : )
Fingers Crossed, Knocking on Wood, & Praying my lil babe feels better stat!!
