Nana's B-day

Courtlynn's Grandma, affectionately known as Nana Kay, just had a birthday and the whole family got together to celebrate. Courtlynn slept half of the time (normally I would have been thrilled), but we still managed to get a few pictures of her. Courtlynn and her cousin Noah were in a picture with Nana and Papa! Noah still isn't to sure of Courtlynn, especially when she cries ( he gets sad and thinks something is wrong; super cute).
Courtlynn is now 3 months and officially out of any newborn clothes. She is a long baby so some 3 month outfits are a little short on her; we just call them capris! She still loves bath time and splashes water everywhere; we have to put towels all around the sink and the floor because she goes wild! She still can't figure out who keeps splashing her in the face! Ha Ha. We plan on taking her swimming for the first time this week-end so we will update you with those pictues as soon as possible.
Cooper- yes he is fine, yes he is a little depressed, no he is not as spoiled as he used to be. Courlynn has within the last week actually focussed on him and then laughed with delight. Cooper wasn't sure about the noise, but was probably so glad for the attention!

Grandma's dresses

Courtlynn's Grandma Pharris, my mom, had saved some dresses that she wore as an infant. I used to dress my dolls in them when I was a little girl. After learning we were going to have a girl, my mom looked through all my old play things and found these two adorable dresses. We thought it was special to have our girl wearing her grandma's dresses! Now for an update: Courtlynn had been eating terribly and very irritable the last couple weeks so when we saw the Dr. we asked what she thought was going on. She took one look in her mouth and said that she is starting to teeth! Yes, just a few days shy of 3 months the process had begun. Her gums were swollen and she was drooling a ton. We don't see anything yet and it could take a while to see that first tooth, but we are well on our way. Also, as you can see Courtlynn loves to smile. She loves it when people say her name or sing her a song. And, if she is looking at the fan move while someone is singing her a song or saying her name, even better!

Cry Baby

See she doesn't sleep enough! There are always times during the day when nothing makes her happy. Times when rocking, holding, and or bouncing just aren't cutting it! We think she is still adorable, even when she cries (yes, I really just said that). Courtlynn typically is not content to just be. There has to be movement in order for her to be awake and happy. Grandparents, aunts, and uncles have all perfected the bounce and walk technique that is a must have in their repertoire! Sometimes, as in the case with Papa Davis, you just have to cry right along with her! Enjoy.

Sleepy Girl

Don't let these photos fool you; she does more than just sleep! However, she is sleeping pretty well at night these days. She goes to bed around 8:15 and will sleep anywhere from 6-8 hours before needing some food and then will go right back to sleep for another 4 to 6. Since she does pretty well at night she doesn't sleep a ton during the day. She probably naps about 4 times all totally 2-3 hours. Her favorite thing is to sleep on someone or in the bijorn, but we still get her to nap at least once in her crib. Sleeping in the swing is a close second! As you can see Grandpa Pharris and Uncle T.J. got to enjoy Courtlynn during her cute sleepy time!!!!

Mother's Day

We had a great Mother's Day! We went down to Emerald Bay with my parents and walked the beach. It was Courtlynn's first time down on the sand! She loved to be held facing out so she could see all the kids playing and the dogs playing fetch. It was a pretty warm day and there were lots of people out for her to watch. Here are some fun pictures of my moms first Grandma's Day and my first Mother's Day.

Finally

My sister, who was here for Courtlynn's birth, was able to come out from Chicago for a week! Courtlynn loves her Aunt Kristen and they spent a lot of time playing and shopping in the bijorn. Also, my best friend Brooke and her husband were out from Vermont for our 10 year high school reunion and came to visit! Auntie Brooke loves to bring Courtlynn presents and gave her a beautiful quilt she and her mother-in-law made. It was so fun to see both of them and we wish they didn't live so far away. They both were great with Courtlynn and helped change diapers and everything!
