Olympic Bonding

"Hey Daddy, What's your favorite sport?  I like the volleyball"
Look how cute! Penelope is kicking back on the couch watching the Olympics with her Daddy.  This is such a typical baby "Tierney" picture that it is almost eerie.  Every time Linda spends time with Lil' Penny, she is reminded of Tier as an infant.  Pen's mannerisms, facial expressions, easy going personality, adventurousness (is that a word) and advanced development is so reminiscent of Aunt Tier.  Linda wasn't around Sarah as a baby, so Penny could be totally taking after her.  Taylor was a sweet, loving baby... but very clingy and not adventurous at all.  His favorite place was on his Mommy's hip, held tightly in her arms.  I know most people might think babies that are not even 4 months old don't really do much except sleep, eat and poop.  That's the thing with Penny, she seems so much older.  One thing she does get from Taylor is size.  He was a BIG baby and is a BIG guy (6'5") now.  Penny is already as long as her 6-9 month old friends.  Maybe she'll be on the Olympic volleyball team in 18 years!
