Christmas in July

I decided to get out the old baby toys. The older two have had more fun with them than Courtney has. It was like Christmas. I'll have to start boxing up other toys and bringing them out later so they don't want new toys all of the time.

Courtney had her two month appointment on Monday. She is now 12 lbs 4oz (90th percentile) and 23 inches (75th percentile). She has those cute little chunky legs and double chin. She is growing fast and we have to enjoy each day we have.

Courtney is 2 Months Old

Courtney is now officially 2 months old. She is growing fast and learning and changing more each day. We are learning more about her personality all the time. There are times when she is fussy and I try just about everything then decide to check her diaper. Discovering the source of the problem I proceed to change her and she lets me know of her approval. While I am changing her she will be smiling at you as if to say it is about time you figured it out. She is definitely her own little person that lets you know what she likes and dislikes. She has also recently discovered her tongue. She will lay there sticking her tongue in and out of her mouth trying to get you to do the same. When you finally stick your tongue in and out she just smiles or continues to play the tongue game with excitement. We love her and are grateful to have her in our family. Happy Two Months!

Remember Me

I have seen this pop up on 2 different blogs today, and it looked cute so here it goes.Here's how you play:1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember.2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory of you. It's actually pretty funny to the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Mishaps, Mistakes, and Mommy

I am quickly discovering that when mom is taking care of the baby my other two think it is a free for all. Just a few days ago I was nursing the baby when Kelsi walks in with a pocket knife, telling me that Shaylee had it. Yes, it was open. It scared me terribly. I knew where it had been. It was high on a shelf in the kitchen supposedly out of reach of my four and six year old. It was in a little wire basket with the scissors that I didn't want my children using without permission. They needed a pair of scissors and instead of asking they pushed a chair up there and got them. We are going to have to be more careful where we put things.



The next thing that happened while I was taking care of the baby needs a little back story. We have planted two tomato plants. Our two tomato plants are not doing very well but we got a couple of tomatoes of them the other day and were planning to use them for BLT's. (Sad to say these may be the only ones we get.) Shaylee decided she needed to try one so she got a toothpick and tried to cut off a piece. She did this by poking holes in lines. After trying this in several spots on the tomato and discovering that it wasn't working she threw the tomato away. Shortly thereafter, I found it in the trash and discover the story behind it. I guess see decide it best to use a toothpick in light of the experience explained above.



The next event happened with Kelsi. She was watching the baby on the bed for a minute while I was helping Shaylee with something. Shortly after I left, Kelsi comes in saying she had tried to change the baby's diaper and there was a lot of poop and she got it on Courtney's clothes. She had taken Courtney's diaper off and laid her back down on her clothes. It was a mess but hopefully a lesson learned.

I should have more pictures coming soon. We just got our camera back. We had to send it in to get it repaired. Shaylee had poked the lens shutter until it got jammed. We thought it was going to cost us at least $100 to fix but to our surprise Canon fixed it for no charge. Thank you Canon!
