Life With Georgia

Happy 1st Birthday little girl......

2010-03-05T13:45:00.000-08:00

This is past a month overdue.....but, you are One now. I can hardly believe it. I was even a little sad when I woke up on your birthday. My baby is growing up so fast. You are the most happy, cheerful little chick I have ever met. You love being involoved in whatever Dad and I are doing. Cooking fasinates you. I put you up on the counter so you can watch the whole process. Playing outside is one of your favorite activities. You pick up all the nuts that have fallen off the palm tree in our patio. (That's what you are holding in this picture.)You gather them like a little squirrel and try to put them in yout mouth when we aren't looking. Your dad and I are so proud of you and how much you have grown. We are going to have a great summer discovering new things and places.

I love you more everyday!

My little girl is growing up! She and I are two peas in a pod, spending our days discovering the world together. I'm trying to use her as an "etsy" model.....

I watched the "hope for Haiti" benefit on television tonight. I sat there crying my eyes out, looking at all the left behind children. Then I looked over at my own little girl, leaning against our couch, giving me the biggest smile. We have been so blessed! I wish there was something I could do for all those little children. How I would gladly have them all crowd into our house and give them warm food, clothes, and people to love on them! We must not forget to lift this poor nation and it's people up in our prayers to the only One who can truly deliver them.

Finally got the guts to open an etsy shop! I named the shop after my ever present partner in crime, Gorgeous Georgia!

My neighbor, Melissa, is an amazing photographer!! And much to my benefit, Georgia is one of her favorite models! On halloween we went trick-or-treating with the neighborhood kids.Georgia was dressed up in a monkey suit, the animal which best defines her energy level! Melissa let Georgia hold her "spooky cat" flashlight all night. My furry little monkey loved it! She barely noticed the candy all the sweet neighbors were giving her, but she didn't want to put that glow cat down. It was such a great experience for our first Halloween here. People were sitting out in their driveways in lawn chairs and truckbeds with big buckets of candy. One even had next door neighbors over and were having a cookout! Everyone was so friendly. It made me happy to live in this community. At the end of the night, Melissa snapped this picture of Georgia.

Some days we are wearing pajamas til 1pm, and some days we make muffins......

Georgia is the most happy when she wakes up. She is always smiling and wants to chat it up! I just got her these new Pjs from Old Navy and i absolutely love them! They are the best! They really compliment all her "delicate rolls"!!! It makes her thighs look like little accordians!

Believe me, I do realize we put up an insane amount of videos . . .but i figure it's one way the family can feel somewhat connected to this goof ball. ;)

She is such a Daddy's girl . . . .
The little elf child . . . .

This past week Georgia met Uncle James and Uncle Nathanial. Here's Uncle Nathanial posing with her and the team. She was so good and sat through a double header on Tuesday. This was her early introduction into the family baseball frenzy! I think she'll be quite the fan!

It's crazy to think that this was only five weeks ago. It has gone so fast, but at the same time, Georgia is already so big!!!!!!

Meeting Stephan, Annie, and Anya for the first time.

Last night was Georgia's first introduction to Samba. She sat sleeping through Alex Fox's entire show. http://http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WmAmv04_zE It was very loud, but apparently it didn't disturb her. Then we popped over to Spazzio to visit Rafael and Ligia. Ligia didn't want to put her down and though it might just work to dance with Georgia in her arms! ;)

Today we went to visit Aunt Barbara and Uncle Gustavo. She loves the hippo they gave her. For the first time, she reached up to the hanging toys and grabbed one. This was the first time she reached for something she was focusing on.Then she snatched it a second time and pulled on it for dear life, fussing because she couldn't get it down!

The bee on the right she's checking out, was the toy she ended up grabing.

She don't want to play basketball.

But right now she can't even crawl."
