5 months old!

Courtney is 5 months old tomorrow! I would say time has flown, but it hasn't. It has gone at a nice slow pace, which is great since I got to spend (almost) every minute of it with her. We get to spend her 5 month birthday with tons of girl time together before I make the dreaded step of going back to work on Tuesday. We have also had a full week of "us" time with dad at work, so that has really helped, too! She has had some trial days at the babysitter and liked it, takes full formula bottles and likes it and will be a happy little girl by midafternoon when I see her again and I will learn to like it! Spending some time with mom!
Here is Courtney practicing sitting up. She has got a good "tripod" sit going,

but it will still be a little while before she can really be on her own!




I finally got our pool cards and went to our subdivision pool.
She loved to watch the other kids splash!

Lots of Visitors

Courtney has has seen almost every relative and friend she knows over the past week! Her aunt Deanna, uncle Patrick and Jared stopped by last weekend, Grandma Jody and Grandpa Terry came by a few times and brought some friends from California. Grandma Frances came on Thursday to babysit and Grandma and Grandpa Hicks and uncle James came this weekend to visit. We went to see Great-Grandma Dot at her new house in Liberty, we played with Lyda and Ashley and Lindsey came by for some girl time! Wow, girl you had a lot of love!

Now everyone can be involved with mealtimes!
Playing at Dot's new house!

Our smily girl! Courtney and Ashley were almost having a conversation with cooing, yelling and babbling back and forth! A girl after my own heart...I also love to eat remotes!
