Baby Showers and Baby Blessings!

This past weekend was a busy weekend for Courtney!  We had a small baby shower to introduce Courtney to my extended family and we had Courtney's baby blessing.  It was a great weekend and I truly enjoyed seeing everyone again.  Courtney was so cute and was truly spoiled!  Thank you to everyone who came out!

Beautiful picture of Courtney!  One of my first smile pictures!

On Sunday we had Courtney's baby blessing.  She was a doll and slept through her blessing, unlike her brother who screamed through his.  Brock gave her a beautiful blessing.  She wore a gown that both my Dad and I both wore for our baptisms.  

Beautiful dress.

I had to post this picture.  Slice of real crazy life!

Cute smile!

Pretty girl!  My parents got her a beautiful bracelet and my mom made her a little cape.  Lucky girl!

Courtney's Newborn Photo Shoot

When Courtney was a month old I had some professional shots done of her.  They turned out so amazing!  I love them so much.  I am so glad that I was able to get this done.  Thanks again Tina for the recommendation!  I didn't get shots like this of Ty done, but for a girl....I just had to!  Here are some of my favorites!  We got a couple of Ty but he was too hyper and just not into it.  I hope I can get some good ones this fall when we do our family photos!!

Welcome Courtney!!

Courtney Dawn Lehr was born on April 18, 2013 at about 2:00pm.  She was 8lbs 2oz and 21 inches long.  Her delivery was completely different than Ty's, and I guess we were lucky to have not gone to c-section!  All that aside, we are thrilled to have a little baby girl!  She is so fun, and i especially love dressing her up in little outfits!  Courtney looks a lot like me, which is fun.  Now we have a mini Brock and a mini Beth!  Here are some pictures from our first 6 weeks!

Thankfully my Mom had a camera at the hospital, I totally forgot to grab mine on the way out the door!  Whoops! 

First picture!  A little swollen, but not bad really.

Sleepy girl.  It was a long day!

Courtney and Grandma.

All bundled up.

Getting ready to go home!

So small!  Car seats look so uncomfortable for babies.

Ready to go!

First bath!  Courtney loves baths!  She could stay in there forever!

All snuggled in her towel.

Grandma came to help for a week!  

Ty bonding with his sister.  I never force Ty to interact with Courtney.  He really doesn't understand and he can be so rough.  One afternoon he thought that maybe he should check this girl out!

Ty liked the bunnies on her feet!

Cute picture.  When he does play with Courtney, he is always so tender and sweet.

This bunny sleeper is super cute!

First Mother's Day!

With Auntie Nicole!

Little sleeping princess!

First trip to church!  Slept the whole time!

Cute picture in her cute dress!

Courtney is the anti-Tyson.  Ty would never sit in his bouncer and forget the soother!  Courtney loves both, and this bouncer is my best friend during the day!

More cute towel pictures!

Who doesn't love chubby cheeks!

Tyson and Courtney playing.  Ty has more fun with the toys right now!

Playing with her bunny.

Cute girl!

Princess soother!

Playing with her toys!

Overall, things have been going really well.  I don't think Courtney is that much different than Ty was as a baby, a bit more chill maybe, but I think I just know more of what to do.  I feel so blessed to have her in our family and I am so excited to watch our little family grow together.  

Big Brother Tyson!!

I am so impressed with how well Ty has adapted to being a big brother.  He still gets upset sometimes when he can't play with Mommy, but overall he is doing great!  He plays by himself a lot more is becoming a lot more independent.  Courtney has really pushed him to grow up a little bit, but in a good way.  Even with cutting his last molars (yes, we are finally done!!), he has really been a champ.  My tow favorite words of his right now are butterfly (utterfry) and dinosaur (inosaur).  He also started saying "love you" to us last night, so cute!

Trying out the bouncer.  Now you want to sit in it...

Playing outside!  I love our backyard!  So does Ty!  Can't wait to break out the pool and slip and slide!  We have a bit of a hill, its going to be awesome!

Cute boy!

My parents got Ty this wind toy.  We had to try it out!

Blow!

Building with KD.  Ty gets into my cabinets a lot more now....haha!

Ty putting his babies (Woody and Buzz) down for a nap.  So cute.

Just reading to himself.  He reads the numbers in this book.
