I'm an Auntie...again!

Being an Auntie is amazing! I now have three beautiful nieces to spoil and then send back to their parents. Hey, I have my own trouble maker at home. My wonderful sister-in-law delivered a healthy baby girl on June 17. Lily Rose was 7 pounds 3 ounces and 20 3/4 inches long. Not sure her exact birth time but she worked her mommy to the brink. She labored for almost 48 hours. Poor Amy! Since we live in Washington and our family is back in California, we have yet to meet our newest niece. But we plan to not wait too long.

Please enjoy this sweet face.


Love Amazon Mom

If you haven't signed up for Amazon Mom, do it! You get free 2-day shipping for a limited time. But if you continue to buy baby/child products they extend your free 2-day shipping. It's awesome. We just purchased this for Courtney and had it shipped in 2 days for free.

My ONE year old!

My sweet baby girl turned ONE on June 1. I have a ONE year old. Oh-Em-Ge.

We traveled "home" to California to celebrate with our families. The day started by Mike and I singing Happy Birthday to a bright eyes and bushy tailed little girl. I remembered to bring Courtney's 12 month sticker, but not to bring a white onesie. So a pink butterfly onesie had to do.



After a morning snooze, we got dressed and headed out to the Happiest Place on Earth!

Waiting for the tram.

On June 4th, we had Courtney's First Bee-Day Party!

Pinata time!


Kisses from mommy and daddy!


A little about what Courtney is up to these days.

1) She walks, everywhere.
2) She signs "more" and "all done" when prompted.
3) She says "Daisy". Our dog.
4) She is in that "all I want is mommy stage".
5) She is solely on whole milk and no more formula.
6) Still using bottles but I'll slowly try to transition to sippys. As of now she wont drink milk from a sippy. She spits it out.
7) She blows kisses and kisses her stuffed animals. She says "muah". So cute.
8) She thinks everything is a telephone and puts it up to her ear.

That's all I can think of right now. We have a sweet, outgoing little girl that we are so happy to watch blossom into a toddler.

We love you baby!

Am I killing you?

With no 1st birthday pictures yet? Well, I have movers packing up our house as we speak. I should have a little time in the next week to post them.

But in the meantime, Courtney had her 12 month well check appointment yesterday. She is 23.3 pounds (85%) and 31 1/4 inches tall (94%). She is our tall girl. My poor baby girl got 3 shots and a toe prick. She was in hysterics and I was there all alone. :(

Ok...so maybe I can do a sneek peak:

[Cuteness overload]

I didn't think Courtney's hair was long enough for a small Pebbles pony. But after seeing another blogger do it to her daughter's hair, I thought I'd give it a try.



Now that your dead from cuteness overload.

Mike says "That's not a pony. That's a spike."

[In sad news...]

My sweet kitty Jenna has been MIA since Friday morning. She left me a mouse on the porch Friday morning and I haven't seen her since. I'm truly heartbroken.

Come home soon Jenna. Mommy misses you!


Even just looking at that picture makes me tear up. :(

[Fun in the sun!]

Even is it is for just 20 minutes. The weather in Sequim has been pretty nice lately. In the high 60s. After you've lived in Washington for 2 years, 60 degrees feels like 80 degrees. I do believe I am the only person in the state of Washington with a sunroof in my car and I use it anytime the sun is out.

So last weekend we had some great weather so we took Courtney outside to play (or sit) in the grass. She hasn't quite gotten used to the feeling of grass so we usually sit her on a blanket. We only had about 20 minutes before the clouds blocked the sun and it was a bit chillier.

Enjoy!
