It feels like I really had a year and a half off limitations, since I was pregnant (and was advised to ditch the impact workouts to resolve a pregnancy-related complication) and my surgeries following the birth.

Penelope is 8 months old!

Babbling, STANDING (halp me) growing like crazy, and constantly filling the room with her bright smile and belly laughs.
