Missing Time

During the week it’s hit or miss how much I get to see Courtney. Two days ago I got home late and JUST made it to see her for about five minutes before lights out for bed (Karen did the bath and was just finishing up book time). The next morning she wasn’t up yet before I left for work :( .

This evening when I got home we were able to play on the floor for about 45 minutes. I miss a few days of good play time and it’s amazing how different she is. I know I’ve said it before, but it still just amazes me. Today she was putting smaller blocks and such into a box and carrying the box around. Just a few weeks ago the best thing going was picking up a single item and gnawing on it.

I picked her up and put her on her feet and she stood there rubbing her eyes, and for a good bit. I think the eye rubbing distracted her from the fact that she was standing there on her own. Once she finally realized it she squatted down to her butt. She’s just gotta be close to taking that first step!

From my limited perspective she seems to be almost completely back to her awesome, happy self. She really is so friggin cute!
I’m very happy tomorrow is Friday – it’s been a pretty long week at work! We’re having some people over for dinner and it’ll be the first time in a very long time. I feel like we haven’t seen any of our friends in forever. And since it’s at our house we can put Courtney down at her normal time and enjoy the company. Of course, it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop raining anytime soon. I just hope it doesn’t put a damper on things, so to speak.
Happy almost Friday.
