To my Big Brother, PaPaw, & cousin Shannon...

Yesterday was my brother Adam's 30th birthday! Happy Birthday to you Old Man! :0) I better be nice because my 30th is right around the corner. My PaPaw Shadix's b'day was also yesterday. He is 84 and stubborn as ever! :) I hope they both had a great birthday. My cousin Shannon's birthday is tomorrow. You never mention a lady's age - it isn't polite, but I will say that she was born the same year as Adam! :0) Happy Birthday to her as well! I hope all three of you have many more! I love you!

Self-Feeding

Hannah has been learning how to feed herself. She is not very good with a spoon yet but she can eat with her hands very well. She loves to eat little pieces of bananas, peaches, & puffs. Everything you put in front of her she will eat! She gets so messy when she eats by herself. I usually strip her to her diaper and she will sit for an hour in her chair picking at the pieces and eating. It is good for me because I can get usually get the dishes loaded in the dishwasher and occasionally the floor swept before she gets tired of sitting. As soon as she is through eating she has to have a bath! Here are some pics of her eating bananas in her high chair.

She is concentrating very hard!

I made it to my mouth!

Yummy! This is good!

Monday!

There has not been any exciting events in the Courington house lately. Josh is home from camp and we are just trying to keep Hannah from eating every piece of fuzz in the house. She can find the tiniest things in the carpet. I fished a bug out of her mouth yesterday and the day before that Josh retrieved a small rock. You can't take your eyes off of her. Well I hope that everyone has had a great Monday. Here is something to think about this week....

Never regret a day in your life.

Good days give you Happiness.

Bad days give you Experiences.

Both are essential to life.

Keep going...

Happiness keeps you Sweet,

Trials keep you Strong,

Sorrows keep you Human,

Failures keep you Humble,

Success keeps You Glowing,

But Only God keeps You Going!
