Getting ready for Christmas

Christmas is my favorite holiday. Trying to do the normal things this year like decorating and Christmas shopping has proved pretty challenging with a baby. I've discovered she does not yet enjoy shopping much (hopefully I can change that). She completely lost it when shopping in Nordstrom Rack and another time at Kohls. I don't mean she was fussing a little. I mean she went from quiet to crying loudly with everything she had. It is especially helpful when passers by say things like 'oh, she is not happy'. Thank you, strangers, I was unaware until this point that the crying and screaming meant unhappy. She also cries at the grocery store. The lady at the check out line has twice suggested to me that she is hungry. Thank you bagger lady, but no my baby is not hungry. She just ate. She just hates your store. Now to look at these pictures you'd never know she is ever unhappy.

Rolling Over

I swear it must have been flukes, but Courtney did roll over twice when she was 5 weeks old. Once was from back to belly and once from belly to back. I thought it was cool, but also didn't think she would continue it and I was right. At around 12 weeks she rolled over twice from belly to back. It still has not become a common occurence, but here you can see that she is trying.
