		<title>Barcelona &#8211; Day 6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, Eleanor was kind enough to let me sleep in after my absurdly late draft (Thank You!), so while the girls went to the zoo in the park across the street, I slept, caught up on the trip blogging and had a nice long shower.
After they returned, we headed out to grab some lunch at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcelona &#8211; Day 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, not such a late morning for penny (9am) but we managed to up and get ourselves some coffee (eventually, as they take Sunday way too seriously here, with most shops closed), as we headed out to an artists market Eleanor had read about (pintorspibarcelona.com).
After browsing for a bit, we were both drawn to one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcelona &#8211; Day 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today we decided to remember that Barcelona in addition to being a great cosmopolitan city is also a beach town, and conveniently enough our apartment was about a 10 minute walk from the beach district, called Barcelonetta.
It&#8217;s really amazing to feel how different a five minute walk makes the city feel. Barcelonetta feels like a completely different [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcelona &#8211; Day 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An earlier rise for penny today, although still a civilized 9:30. We decided that rather than tourist around to the sights we&#8217;d spend the day wandering the Born shopping. First thing first, we headed out for some coffee, returning to the coffee shop we hit when we landed on day 1. On the way there, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcelona &#8211; Day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, apparently Penny was ready to catch up on some sleep. She may not have gone to bed before 11:30, but she didn&#8217;t wake up before 12:30 the next day either. A bit of a late start I suppose, but a good nights sleep for all of us was well warranted.
We quickly wandered out to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcelona &#8211; Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photos to be inputted later today/tomorrow.
Before I start in with the bitching, let me preface this by saying Day 1 ends on a fantastic note. That said&#8230;
WTF is it with airlines?! So you plan a direct flight to Barcelona that&#8217;s an overnight 7 hour flight. Leaves at 7pm (ok, we were delayed an hour and [...]]]></description>

Take walking &#8211; about 3 weeks ago she was in love with her red wagon and loved to chew on the sides and the wheels and if you stood her [...]]]></description>

Good lord child, do your parents not buy you any toys? Well dur,  if I am allowed to play with it, its not fun. Or at least no where near [...]]]></description>

		<title>Penny, 6 months or so</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given how much happens in a day, there is much to cover since last time. Lets get down to it. 
We started solids maybe 3 weeks ago, beginning with rice cereal, then avocado and pear and sweet potato and banana and right now we are starting on a barley teething biscuit which she enjoys gumming. [...]]]></description>

Lots of smiles, and giggles now too, and chatting, and her big achievement &#8211; rolling over back to tummy!It was on her 4 month birthday exactly &#8211; we were at a job site on the UES, and she was laying on a blanket happy as could [...]]]></description>

		<title>Penelope &#8211; Month 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, another big gap &#8230; sorry. Penny is just all that much cuter now &#8211; with lots of new moves. I see younger babies and fell like it was a lifetime ago that she looked like that, and did those things &#8211; like sleeping on our chests &#8211; she used to love that, now she [...]]]></description>

		<title>Penelope &#8211; Week 12</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, 12 weeks. Wacky. I both can&#8217;t believe its been that long, and think its only been 12 weeks? It seems like much longer, and not long at all. This past week was a busy one, as they all seem to have been.
On Tuesday she got her second vaccine. She cried, she fussed, she got [...]]]></description>

		<title>Penelope week 11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really need to be better at this updating thing. Day 11 to Week 11. A lot happened in between. We went to Washington DC a couple times, and Florida, and Penny kept getting cuter and cuter. But I am going to focus on the past week. 
So in the last week we got back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Little Chatterbox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mommy managed to capture a good stretch of Penelope having a chat on film. What&#8217;s even cuter is that when you play this video for her, she takes great pleasure in having a conversation with herself. I wonder what she&#8217;s saying. Then again it&#8217;s probably either MILK or PLAY WITH ME. Either way, she distinctly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tummy Time Accomplishment!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Penny pulled this trick off for mommy several times without any observers. She proudly came upstairs to show the rest of us (Rob was kind enough to pull out his video camera) -- and much to all of our surprise she actually did it again. Looks like we&#8217;ve got a performer on our hands.

		<title>Penny&#8217;s new trick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some friends got us this swell bouncy seat, and Penelope hasn&#8217;t really like it so far (although could be kept occupied for a bit if you turned the seat vibration thing on) but today she seemed to figure out how to get it to rock on her own, which also makes the cute animals swing.

		<title>Penelope Day 11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My office came over to visit, which was quite fabulous of them, although really guys, did you have to bring details for me to redline? It was also her first (although I doubt her last) experience with the paparazzi &#8211; she behaved reasonable well given the large camera in her face.
She had another bath, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Penny Update, Day 9</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy birthday Grandpa!
We had a very nice time at our Mom&#8217;s group yesterday, winning the littlest baby by a long shot, and also one of the best behaved babies &#8211; Penelope slept the whole time! I was sitting next to a 4 month old (and his mom), and it&#8217;s so amazing how awake he was [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Nephew Rocks &#8211; Literally!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Down in DC this weekend visiting the in-laws, and more importantly, my 2 year old nephew Stewart. After helping my brother-in-law Rob set his drum set back up in their newly (and very nicely!) renovated basement, I discovered just how much Stewart likes the drums&#8230; in fact the only thing he seems to like more [...]]]></description>
