Penny's pride and joy

Penny's new thing, which is keeping her from sleeping, is pushing herself from tummy to sitting position. Whenever we go to check on our hollering baby that we intended to put to sleep, she is sitting up in her crib sucking her thumb and upon seeing us, she gives a wide grin. We know that she is able to go back down from a seated position, but she chooses to stay sitting-up in her crib until someone comes. She is even more proud if/when we give-up on having her sleep and take her out of her crib. The huge smile/snicker that she displays while being carried down the stairs, after being "rescued" from a nap, is like no other.
