Crib

Last night we put Georgia in her crib for the first time. She did great!!! We swaddled her up, put in her paci, and started the music on her Seahorse. She usually will fall asleep shortly after or is at least content and puts herself to sleep. She needed a little more attention last night and for me to hold the paci, but she eventually fell asleep.

Georgia in her crib Look at those red, tired eyes.

Here are some more cute pictures of Georgia from the past week.

This is Georgia's lovey. We are starting to give it to her during the day so she will start to get used to it and like it.

She is so cute.

Family Visit

Robert's family came to visit this weekend. This was Georgia Grace's first time to meet her aunt and her cousins. The weather was bad so we couldn't go out and play, but we had a fun time ordering pizza, watching movies, dyeing Easter eggs, and playing games. It was a good visit, Thanks for making the long journey for such a short trip.

2 months

Wow, time is sure flying by. I can't believe she is already 2 months old. I keep telling her to stop getting older but she isn't listening. We went for her 2 month check up and she weighs 8lbs 9.5 ounces (10%), is 22 inches long (50%), and her head is 25%. She is staying on the same growth track which is good, but we still hope she gains weight a little faster. She is getting so long that she is growing out of clothes in length but they are still way too big around her in her waist. We have been a little worried about reflux so we are starting a trial of medicine for one month. She does not like the medicine and I have to give it to her twice a day. She also had to get her shots, which was horrible. She screamed the entire rest of the day:(. Once I got her to sleep I did not move for 2 hours. I put pillows under my arms so not to move and waited for her next feeding time. This month was a big month. Georgia Grace went on her first road trip to Gigi and Bopa's house, first stay in a hotel for my continuing education, and had her first play date with Jasper, Jude, and Sage. She is enjoying playing on her activity mat more, mainly watching the lights. She still does not like to be down unless she is watching the lights and that is only sometimes. She hates having her diaper changed and getting out of the bath. When I say hate I mean she screams bloody murder. It is so sad, but there is nothing I can do about it. She has started sleeping more, sometimes through the night. She has still been sleeping in our room in the cradle, but we are about to move her into her crib. Everyday is a new day with us, still no routine. She does not like the same things every time. When she is crying I have to try everything to get her to calm down. It is just a guessing game to which way she wants to be held. I am looking forward to a routine so I can start to get more things done. We are still calling her Georgia Grace and Georgia. Her other nicknames are sweetpea, little bit, little girl, princess, and Missy.

Smiles

Georgia has been smiling so much lately, mainly after she eats. As I hurry to pull out the camera she stops smiling as much. I think she can't see my face as well. She is so cute in person when she is smiling that my heart just melts. Sometimes when I am feeding her and I say something, she stops eating and smiles. It is too cute. The videos are nowhere near as cute as it is in person, but I hope you enjoy.

More visitations

The past few weeks have been very busy. Once we got home from Nashville we packed back up and headed down to Birmingham for a conference. My mom came down with us so she could watch Georgia Grace while I went to the lectures. I was able to get all of my continuing education hours done for the year, yea!!!
Georgia is a little social butterfly and has met many more people this past week. We went to our first birthday party, church, my choir, and my old work. Everyone loves her so much, but who doesn't love a baby.
Georgia has been smiling so much more now, but I never seem to be able to capture it on video. I am trying, but as soon as I turn the camera on she stops smiling. It is the same thing with her crawling. I can't believe that my daughter doesn't want to show off. If she stays shy then she is missing a huge part of Vraciu gene, I am NOT shy.

Georgia's first time to Church

She is smiling so much more now

What a cutie

I love finding her like this. I don't know how she does it. Tiny feet, big close

Happy St. Patty's day

She had to wear green.

Over the river and through the woods

to Grandmothers house we go. Georgia Grace took her first road trip to Nashville the other weekend. We went up to visit with a bunch of people and it was so much fun. We got to see a lot of my high school friends, and my mom's friends. My mom had a "sip and see" with her birthday group on Saturday. It was so much fun getting to see everyone and showing my beautiful baby off.
My wonderful mom had Georgia sleep in her room and took one of the feedings during the night for me. Thanks mom. It was nice getting to sleep a longer stretch. I am giving Georgia a bottle during the middle of the night so I am not up as long since her breastfeeding time is still about an hour.

Gigi and Georgia Grace. This is one reason why Georgia can not be called GG
Bopa and Georgia. I have never seen my dad smile as much/big as he does when he is holding one of his grand kids.

Georgia had her first play date at my friend Blakeley's house. No, she isn't playing yet, but it is nice for me to get out and see some friends.

Hank, Jasper, and Georgia

I love Hank's hair. I don't know if you can see it in this picture, but it looks like a teenage boy's hair, who spent 30 minutes getting it to stand up just right.
