A little bit of everything

I have been way overdue on posting some pictures, so here is a very random mix of things over the past few weeks. Courtney has really started becoming a toddler lately (the good and bad:). She is saying lots of words: eat, outside (iside), eieio (which she now leaves the o off of), hi, thank you (daycoo), dada, doodee (which we aren't sure what she means - not poop - but it is cute). She has some little ornery things that she is doing such as turning on and off the tv while looking at us and smiling, running either to the street or to the neighbor's dogs when we go outside, and general screams (not sure why)...but she is also doing some things that are super sweet like giving us rocks she finds outside instead of putting them in her mouth, helping put away her toys, gives kisses, dances, likes to wear momma's jewelry, running in place and just learning and absorbing everything around her! Playing at Grandma and Grandpa Whitmer's.
Swinging with grandma. She wanted to sit by herself and did not want grandma to hold on to her. She is quite independent.

Sitting nice while grandma opens her Mother's Day present.

She couldn't wait to stand up, though!

Courtney and Kaitlynn: future shoppers! Courtney's fave new toys: chairs.

A visit from Uncle David and Aunt Cindy!

We went to a carnival at the school across the street and this was the only game Courtney could play. She won two tokens.

Such a big girl, using her spoon.

Courtney likes to get into the fridge any chance she can get. She can open the bottom drawer and she likes to take things out and pretend to eat them or lick them (like oranges). One day she got out a pear. I thought she was just licking it, but she was taking little bites! She ate most of the pear over two days. It was hilarious!

After day two.
Ashley got Courtney these matching dresses for her birthday. Of course there was a photo shoot!!
And yes, her and Ashley wear clothes sometimes when they get together.

Playing with mommy's old jewelry. She loves to walk around with it on.

We have some big weekends coming up with lots of fun things to take pictures of, so hopefully I will be able to stay on top of these posts!
