Things here seem to have turned a corner. Wait for it... We're SLEEPING!!! Courtney has slept between 6 1/2 - 8 hours IN A ROW for FOUR nights in a row!! Amazing!! As a matter of fact, she wasn't quite awake this morning, after 8 hours of sleeping, and I had to wake her up myself!! I don't even have words for what I'm feeling, it's just so exciting. And I'd like to think that I've been able to be more productive over the past several days, now that I'm all rested, although I'm not sure that's the case. I have gotten some things done around the house but the house it still a mess but we do have clean clothes and I'm even going to cook dinner tonight!!
Courtney is getting cuter by the day and is getting more fun all the time. This morning I put her on the floor with her play gym and she was smiling and squealing and "laughing" and she was SO cute. I just loved seeing her enjoying what was going on around her and actually comprehending the fun things. She did have a slight meltdown when we were done (she was in need of a diaper change) but it was amazing to see her reaction. Seven-and-a-half weeks isn't a long time but, well, it's a lifetime for Courtney and every day brings her something new and different.
I'm going to try and video tape her reaction when we play with the toy again (which will guarantee she won't like it and will cry) and hopefully I can get some video posted here.

Woo Hoo! Yeah Courtney. But...when she is no longer being so cooperative in the sleep department, check out these posts with perk up suggestions: http://www.ohdeedoh.com/ohdeedoh/personal-health/tips-for-sleep-deprived-parents-073695 (I could so use some more sleep after being woken three times last night...)
