Look what a skinny little thing I was! Hurry and feed me mommy!
Looking stylin' with my grandpa...
Always a smile on my face.
Always being silly.
16 years later...
Still smiling....
Still silly....
I have a few other baby pics I had wanted to post, but I can't find them in my mess, and I'm not allowed to lift the boxes to look, so these will have to do. :)
Courtney's birthday was Sunday. The big 16. It's hard to believe she could be that grown up. She started out as a scrawny little thing... 5 lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long... We measured her height today and she is 5'10". She was such a cute and happy baby, always with a huge smile on her face, and now she's a cute and happy teenager, almost always with a smile on her face. She does have to stop smiling once in a while to roll her eyes at her nerdy mom, but not too often. She is very hard working, helpful, has a good head on her shoulders, and we love her tons.
We went today to get her driver's license, and she's already taken Brittney and Lexi to the library and for ice cream and taken Brittney to the movies. Both places are within a few blocks of home, so not too far away at all, but still a little weird feeling to give her that freedom. It feels like it's going by so fast... I wish time could just slow down, but it doesn't.

Oh my gosh Shannon, how on earth did you get a 16 year old???? I can only hope that her and Adam can meet up one day and she'll consider dating him :) She's beautiful.

WOW - That is a big one! My niece turns 16 in a couple months and I just can't believe it. Courtney is beautiful! But, you know that already. Do you compare baby pictures with your kids? because I think Lexi looks like her. 5'10" How much taller than you is she? YIKES!

Wow a 16 year old. That is both cool and scary. She is beautiful, and you look like you haven't changed too much
