Another month has flown by!

Courtney is 4 months old!

Happy halloween!

Courtney had a great first Halloween!

We started the evening by reading a few Halloween books to get in the mood.

We then got all dressed in our little Monkey costume. It was toasty warm!


We helped Daddy hand out candy to all the little neighborhood kids.

We went and visited two houses to get some loot!
We had a good time playing with the candy!

Getting into a pickle!

Courtney doesn't have enough room in her pack-n-play to roll around as much as she wants to. She was taking a nap last week and all of a sudden she was crying very loudly. When I went to get her, she was stuck in the corner and trying to roll into the side of the pack-n-play.

This is how she started.....

Here is how she ended up!



Here is another time that she got mad because she couldn't roll over!

Entertainment

Courtney will sit in this little chair for at least 30 minutes playing with her toys. It is perfect as the giraffe is big enough she can kick it and it has bells so it makes noise!

Updated pictures

I was told that I am not posting enough pictures our little munchkin so here are some recent pictures:

What have you been doing?

If someone asked me "What have you been doing the past week?" I would have to respond as such.... " I have been on the phone looking for a new daycare." I have removed all of the explicit language that I would have inserted had this been any thing other than "G rated". I wish that I could say I had forgotten how painful searching for day care was, but I really hadn't.

For those of you that don't know. Our daycare provider Meredith has decided to go back to school. Last year, her husband was laid off (a shop teacher) but right before labor day got a 3/4 teaching job in which he is home by 2pm every day. So a week ago, Meredith informed me that as of January 3rd, she will be closing her daycare at 3pm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so she can take classes at 4pm. So I asked her some additional questions and she will proceed with those hours until January of 2012 when she will close her daycare. Courtney is doing so well with Meredith and the kids there, that I had contemplated trying to adjust my hours to fit the new day care hours. After a bit of discussion, Brian and I decided that moving Courtney now is going to be much easier than moving her when she is 1 1/2 years old. So.... here's to another round of daycare interviews...

Rolling Over

Courtney has started rolling over!

Last Monday, when she woke up from her nap at daycare, she was on her stomach. When we got home I quick grabbed the video camera when it appeared that she was going to do it again. Sorry for the bad taping and commentary!

On Friday she also rolled from her front to her back and has, only once, rolled across her blanket.

Watch the rolling from back to front.
