As I was at the dentist with Courtney today, I started to think back. Here she was, being so brave, while the dentist was drilling in her mouth and I was thinking back to when she was a baby.
Was she really ever so small that she didn't fit in her car seat? I honestly cannot remember her being so tiny. She was almost eight pounds when she was born. She was a big baby compared to most in my family.
I remember her first smiles and her taking every second of my day. Dave would ask what I got done in a day and I would say, "Nothing. I don't know what I did all day but she took up all my time."
She is so independent now. She thinks she needs to do everything herself. She answers the phone, gets herself dressed, plays with friends all the time, and even has a chore chart to earn allowance.
So I seriously ask you, where did my baby go? How did she go from this tiny, sweet, perfect little newborn, to an independent, adorable, stubborn, bossy, and wonderful child?

great post Candace! i love looking back at when my kids were born. what a great idea... Courtney was a beautiful baby and IS a gorgeous little girl!
awwwww, what sweet memories! It is amazing how fast they grow up. I loved all the pictures, she has always been so beautiful. And what is this about her getting her teeth drilled?? Poor thing!
CUTE!!!!!! They grow up so fast, but isn't it great to see them grow and learn/see new things! It's a hard thing to see them grow up, but so fun watching them grow!
How sweet! I've never seen pics of
Courtney as a baby. It goes by so fast doesn't it?
I hear you, I have a nine year old! He will be ten in March and today he asked, "When will I not be your baby anymore?" I chased him down and gave hime kisses and told him he would always be my baby.
