Gettin back into it

So this post is gonna kinda be a mess cause I am just trying to get it done before Alena wakes up. Courtie left on Monday for his third deployment. Sad that he is once again gone but also happy because it got pushed back for two months and we had a lot more time together. We had a total of three months instead of one. Things have been crazy around here, we had three sets of guests while he was home. His good friends Drew and Bonnie came out the end of July, his mom and brother came out in August and his dad came out late September. During this time Alena has grown up so much; sitting up, crawling, standing and just getting into everything! I can't leave this little one alone for a second! Ahh but she is so cute and that makes up for it. Here are tons of pictures that I will add little comments to and maybe the next post with have more to it.


So Alena is finally starting to look less like a baby Courtie and have some me in her! Totally adorable picture with Alena's play glasses. I went out to Walmart and got her a $10 pair to chew and play with. Maybe she will finally leave mine alone!

Check out her two teeth.
Such a big girl holding her own bottle!
Great smile with Grandpa John. Her hair is starting to really come in and now she has some funky hair in spots.
Giving Daddy a hug before he leaves.
Loving Daddy.
Alena just loves walking with help. She gets so excited and loves to run! Here is Alena and Courtie running all around the house. When she gets tired she drags her feet (Courtie isn't being mean). This is like the third run through so she was getting tired but still lovin it!
