Week One of Summer Fun!

Even though I have only been home with Courtney for a week, we already did so many fun things and I, of course, had already taken hundreds of pictures! We have been spending a lot of time with Lyda and Ashley McMurray. Courtney is used to being around 4 other toddlers all day long and I just wasn't cutting it. I could really tell how unhappy she was without other kids and started calling out for "Ashee" a lot (Ashley)...so cute/sad/precious at the same time! Our biggest accomplishment of the week was taking away Courtney's giggies (pacifiers)...night one she cried for 40 minutes, but with NO wake ups and slept until 7:30. Tonight, it took her only 15 minutes of crying (with hopefully the same results)! It is not easy to listen to your baby cry, and my mom thinks we're cruel, but mom, Courtney still loves us:)!

These are pictures from Gymboree! We started going last week and are going to go just for the summer. Courtney loved it! It is right up her alley - with no limitations! She can wonder around, touch anything, climb on anything, dance and never hear "no, no"! It was circle day.

Watching a movie on the way home. I love how both their little eyes are glued!

We have been to our community pool a couple of times - long story, but it might just need to wait until next year...

Playing at the Grain Valley park.

And splashing in our pool on our back deck!

My grandma Thelma turns 90 in a few weeks, but we celebrated at the Whitmer reunion this weekend.
