Mommy, Wow...I'm a big girl now!

Even before Ty was born, Courtney has had a passion for changing her doll's diapers. She would come to me at least 10 times a day to have me put the diaper on, just so she could take it off again. Now she can do it all on her own. I'm grateful to her for the practice she gave me for when Ty was born :) She still continues to change their diapers, but is now starting to find interest in changing Ty's diaper. She likes to help me unsnap his pajamas and wants to continue with the diaper. It's hilarious! She's such a big helper and I continue to stress the importance of her role as the helper and how we need to do it together. She's adorable!

She loves to do everything her big sister does, and that includes always wearing a headband always. I guess it was just a phase because for most of the month of March, they both wore headbands in their hair all the time. Of course with their longer hair I would usually put it up out of their face in a ponytail, braid, etc... Then they would go and add their special touch with the headband. (the headband didn't keep their hair out of their faces on its own, especially when they didn't want help from anyone putting it in.)
Courtney also wants to be big like Brooklyn and use the potty. We worked on it seriously for a few days, and now she goes #2 on the potty every time. It's awesome! It definitely helps that she can learn from her big sis! We're still working on #1...but, hey, the poopy diapers were the most dreaded ones to change! Yeah, Courtney! Good job, sweetheart!

I think she looks a lot like Celeste when you all first moved here.
Good job to her for the potty training. Can she come to Arkansas to teach Baylee????
