Spying on Georgia

So, this is what Georgia does when I'm not looking....

She sneaks into my closet
and tries on my swim suits!

She dances to my blog music while watching pictures of herself on the computer screen saver. There is definately a difference between boys and girls!

Another fun week.

We had another fun week, kind of doing the same things we already did. Because we bought the season pass to the Children's Gateway Discovery Museum we decided to take some friends with us this time. This is Caleb, Kylie, Conner, Dallin, and Matthew. Dallin and Matthew were in kindergarten together and they now do karate together. Kylie and Caleb are Matthew's siblings. They all get along really well and we had tons of fun at the museum.

Doesn't Georgia look so big in this car? Time flies!

Georgia loved playing with the balls. She loves collections of things. If I give her a pile of popsicle sticks, beans, spools of ribbon, "suckies", balls, anything she gets so excited.


On the Fourth of July we decided to just relax. So we went over to the Army pool and swam for a couple of hours. Here is the only picture I got. I didn't realize I had my camera until we were getting ready to leave. Georgia loved the water and kicking her legs. We sang "I'm a little fishy, under the sea, I'm a little fishy, 1-2-3" and dunked her under the water. She wasn't sure what to think. The first time she was a little surprised but didn't cry. The second time she fussed a little but was fine.

Finally, we took the boat out of the garage. Next step is getting it to the lake! I am a little nervous taking it out because I don't know exactly what I am doing yet. Here are the kids relaxing on the tube. I wanted to make sure it would still hold air because over the winter we had a stray cat that kept sneaking into the garage and sleeping in the boat. I don't know if it punctured any of the tubes. Better check before I get them out on the lake.

Georgia update

Georgia is nine months old today!

She is still not crawling which is fine with me. I think once she does start crawling she will be more happier. Right now she wants to touch and eat everything.
Georgia had her tubes put in her ears on Tuesday and ever since then she takes naps. Before she would only doze off when I nursed her. Now she will take two 1 hour naps. Yeah! I can't believe how much I can get done in that short amount of time.
They say when a baby is about 4 months you can start to let them cry themselves to sleep. Well that is when she started getting her several ear infections so I kept putting the sleep training off. Now that she is feeling better I just lay her in her bed, let her cry, and 15-20 minutes later she is out. I hate the crying part, I am hoping soon she will stop the crying and know it is time to go to sleep.
She is such a sweetie, I am having so much fun with her and her brothers. I love them all. They are great kids!

Hours of Entertainment!

I found this box of beans in storage recently. When Dallin was a baby we would let him sit in it and he would play with the beans forever. So when I found the box I had to get it out for Georgia. As long as her pacifier is in her mouth she won't eat the beans. As soon as her "suckie" falls out her hands, full of beans, immediately goes to her mouth. Obviously, I have to supervise her, but she could play in these beans all day! What fun.

Dress for Georgia

Well, here is the dress I made for Georgia. I haven't finished them hem line yet because the dress is a bit big on her and I want to wait till she fits into it so I can make it the right length. It was fun to make. I learned a lot. Reading a pattern is complicated. The hardest part was gathering the dress and sewing it to the "yoke." I didn't even know what bias tape was and now I do. I think I did an okay job considering it was my first time following a pattern. I love the material. It is by Michael Miller. I used it also on my burp cloths. James thought it was "bright." I think that was his nice way of saying he didn't like it! What do you think?

Why is everybody laughing at me?

What is on my ears?
Why is everybody laughing at me?

My Mom and Dad did this to me and Corene when we were babies. Corene and I did it to Conner and Dallin when they were babies. So now it is Georgia's turn to have it done to her. She did not know what to think at first, then she started laughing with us. Isn't she just adorable?

Yankees!

James,
In response to your response to my Favorites Challenge - Will a picture of Georgia in her dolls Yankees shirt work instead?
