The little traveler

Courtney sure likes suitcases. Be careful Grandma and Nana, next time you fly off, you might have a stowaway!

Next move

Two days after Courtney started crawling, I taped this.........

Cork Bulletin board

2 years ago, I got a bulletin board frame for Christmas. Well after 2 long years of collecting corks, and my friends and coworkers collecting corks, I finally finished it!

Bath time

Grandma got me a new bath tub for Christmas and I have tons of fun in it!

This is me practicing in the tub.

It is very different than my last tub. I didn't know what to think at first.

It didn't take long for me to figure it out. After a bit, Mom couldn't get my attention anymore. I was too busy playing with my toys.

Not stuck anymore!

On Saturday morning, about 4 hours before I had my last blog scheduled to post, I got a text at work...... Courtney was crawling forward! We recreated the scene that night so that I could see her crawl too. Joe's safety glasses are great motivation for one little girl!

Stuck

Courtney cannot figure out how to crawl forwards. She can definitely crawl backwards, but she gets stuck!

Ok, maybe Daddy helped her into this last one.....

Through the night.

We are officially trying to get Courtney to sleep through the night. We probably should have done this a month ago, but as you all know time flies. Last night was the first night we attempted it. She went to bed very well at 9PM and like clockwork woke up at 12:30AM. I proceeded to go in, pat her back and leave. The second I stopped touching her, screaming ensued! I let her go for 5 minutes, went in and patted her back, left, and again the screaming. I waited 6 minutes... same thing... but after this time, around the 4 minute mark she was quite and I could hear her sucking her thumb. Success! She fell asleep and didn't wake up until 7AM. I hope that we make progress every night and in the end it will be worth the stress!
