First Haircut

We took a little off the back this morning! Courtney had her first haircut because it had been looking like Shag City. We're growing out the front bangs so alas, those will continue to hang in her eyes. But she behaved like a little lady at the barber shop!

Mini-Wheats Half Size

I am obsessed with this product - Kelloggs Frosted Mini Wheats Half Size in honey nut flavor. Click here for web site. And I am a mini-wheat hater from way back. For one thing I have never liked their ad campaigns - including the current one where a mini-wheat grows legs and arms and talks to kids. Also I have always thought they looked gross and I have never been tempted to try them.

So I'm changing my tune. Yum. These are the perfect size for a toddler to eat, now that she has a few strategically placed teeth. And I find myself stealing these out of her snack-trap! Mama Lyn found them at Wal-Mart - I have not seen these at the regular grocery store. These little wheats are really tiny - 1/2 inch or so - and tasty. The calories are about the same as my beloved Fiber One Caramel Delight and still have a respectable 6 grams of fiber per serving (compared to 9 grams for Fiber One Caramel Delight). By the way Fiber One has their own shredded wheat with 8 grams of fiber in that, but it's not TINY and CUTE and flavored with honey and nut.

She's a Dancing Machine...

watch her get down.

Aunt Margaret & Uncle Ralph

Today Aunt Margaret & Uncle Ralph were in town from Florida and came to see us and Courtney. I cooked a pot roast and we had a big Sunday dinner. Also, Kim and Charles came over from Monroe, La, and Mike came from Natchez.

Cupcake Adventure

This was the day care's Valentine Party.

Courtney, Cookie & Elmo

Courtney likes Cookie Monster and Elmo. We didn't start watching Sesame Street until seven days ago when I taped it and we watched an episode together, but she has had a stuffed Elmo, Elmo books, and an Elmo shirt, and at least one Sesame Street toy, so she is familiar with the characters.

CC and the Barstool

Courtney is fascinated by the barstools and is always dragging them all over the dining room and hunching down underneath them. The other day I threw a blanket over the chair seat and made a 'fort!' She was really proud of that.

Learning to Use the Spoon(s)

Here's a cute photo of Courtney learning to use the spoon. I believe this is yogurt she's eating.
