18 month update-for real this time

So I was attempting to update the blog on an ipad. Well, that doesn't work so well. I can't get it to actually type letters in the body of the blog. Oh well, back to the desktop :) I guess now that Courtney is 19 months I should get her 18 month update on here. I am sorry I have been so bad at blogging. Here is to a fresh start!

We had Courtney's 18 month appointment at the beginning of January and the Doctor said everything looks good! Here are her stats:
Height: 33 1/2" 95%
Weight: 24# 7oz 50%
And... her head is still large 90-95% :)

She is keeping us busy and loves her books, babies, puzzles, Dora and Little Einsteins. I think when Nana or Grandma and Grandpa are here, they read at least 2 dozen books a day.

18 month update

Family Sick Day

Today has been an unscheduled family day.... vomit included! So I won't put in any pictures of course, who has time to take pictures when you are cleaning up puke and more importantly, who wants to see that!

It started last night. I took Courtney to my sister Nicole's house while I played volleyball. We left about 7PM and was in great spirits when I left to play. I started playing and with about 4 points left in the match, I got really lightheaded and had to go sit down. I just attributed it to the pregnancy. Three of the girls sat with me a bit to make sure I was OK (Thanks Sarah, Dawn and Candice!) and then I got a call from Nicole telling me that they had a bit of a problem. Courtney had thrown up in their bed. I changed my shoes, stood up and ended up racing over the garbage can and vomiting as well. Lovely! Sarah called Brian and told him to call in sick for Tuesday as he had 2 sick girls at home. Sarah and Candice then drove my car (and me) to pick up Courtney and half of the way home. Sarah's plan was to drive me all the way... but they live about 45 min south of me and it would have been very late and by then I was feeling like I could drive.... so at least they could get home a bit earlier.

So today was pajama day and Courtney is on her 3rd set of pajamas but it seems that she is doing better. She ate a bit of toast around 3pm and seems fine. Maybe tomorrow will be a normal day for her and I, but now Brian has a sore throat. Here's hoping to a healthy family by Friday so we can participate in the planned Christmas festivities!

Keep Healthy!

Clap your hands, stomp your feet, and turn in circles!

This video was too big to put directly on the blog so here is the link:

This rake doesn't work very well......

There, this shovel works better.....
but my hands work the best!

Corn Maze

I know this blog is about a month late, but who cares! We went to the corn maze on that incredibly nice day in October. Who thought we would be wearing short-sleeves and shorts in October! Courtney didn't really care for the corn maze, but loved the petting zoo, the bin of corn kernels and the bales of straw to climb on.

What is this stuff?

It is stuck in my toes.....

Finally realized how fun this is!Llamas

Just wandering around in the corn.

What a good Daddy! He made sure I didn't walk off
the end of the bales.

This maze is more my size.

Quite the conversationalist!

Courtney is hanging out and talking to her friends on the phone.
