Blah Blah Blah

Dad here:  Just a quick note for all of you who have not seen Penelope lately.  Mom and I are happy to announce that her vocabulary is growing exponentially (see, she told me to use that word).  In the last week or so we have heard for the first time: milk, balloon, drink, bath, down, Grandma, Dale (of "Chip and"), and the names of most of the Backyardigans (a household favorite), including Austin, Tasha, and Pablo.  It seems that seemingly out of nowhere she can roughly approximate any one of two syllable word we can throw at her.
