Parties

Georgia was invited to 2 parties the other weekend. Unfortunately they were at the same time. We decided to make it to both and just do half the time. The first one was for Brennan, the son of a girl I work with. He was turning one. There are three of us that have babies and bring them to our staff meetings and the babies play together. The party was at The Little Gym. I was wondering what we were going to do for a group of one year olds, but it was so much fun. They had lots of activities for us to do with the babies. We stayed for the cake because I wanted to see him smash it, but he wouldn't either. He wanted to be clean like Georgia did.

 Georgia loved the tunnel. We have one at home, but never pull it out. It is actually how we got her to crawl.

 Birthday boy

 Bubbles!!!! Georgia loves bubbles

 We played peekaboo

The second party was for Addison, the daughter of Robert's friend from college. She turned 3 and had a princess party. We missed most of the party, but we stayed for a long time after hanging out with the birthday girl and family. The cake was sooo cute, it was a doll cake. 

 cake, I was late on the picture

 Georgia had fun playing with Addison's new princess kitchen

Dancing Queen

Watch out Gaga, move over Bieber, here comes Georgia Grace.  She’s got the look and all the moves, she is sure to steal center stage. Our little dancing queen is quite a sight. She loves to dance and watch music videos allllll the time.  Robert and I love watching stop and start dancing whenever she hears music.  Enjoy the cute videos.

Nutritionist

We had been waiting to hear from the nutritionist and I finally was able to schedule an appointment. We went and saw her today. She said that Georgia is eating a good amount, but she wants me to beef it up. Basically she wants me to add sugar, butter, and cheese to everything she eats. I don't think I will end up adding that much sugar, but will continue to do the butter and cheese. She gained 7 ounces since her 12 months check up which is great!! hopefully she will continue to gain for our weight check up in 2 weeks.
I will add more posts about our trip to Colorado in a few days. Really busy with Robert being out of town and getting ready to leave for the weekend again.

Valentine's Day

On Valentine's day we went to a play group at my friend Rachel's house. She has twin 3 year old boys and a little girl 5 months younger than Georgia. The kids had fun playing and having cute snacks that Rachel cut out with a heart.

 This was minus 3 kids another set of twins and another baby.

A few days before Valentine's Day we went to another play group to make valentines for the daddies with finger paint. My friend Kristi made paint out of pudding so it would be edible if the kids tried to eat it. Good thing she did because Georgia sat down and ate the whole bowl of blue paint. I didn't know that she could use a spoon and feed herself, but she sure showed me that she knew how. She would not leave and devoured the whole bowl. None of the other kids wanted anything to do with the paint. 

Look mom, I did it!!!

As you might guess I will not be letting her feed herself any time soon. I had to take her straight up stairs and give her a bath at Kristi's house. 

Don't forget to scroll down and see the other new posts, I just added a few.

Update

Sorry it has taken so long for an update but we have been really busy. Georgia weighed 16 lbs at he 1 year checkup. She is doing better weight wise but the doctor is still concerned. We haven't heard from the nutritionist yet, and my doctor is pretty mad. We now have the number to try to call them. Georgia's height and head circumference are doing just fine. She is eating lots of new foods: hot dogs, lunch meat, spaghetti, and will try almost anything we are eating. So basically she eats more types of food than I do. She still does not like most fruits or any veggies. We are still trying.

Here is a video of her playing with her riding toy. She loves to walk behind it, but loves to be pushed more.

Georgia's 1st birthday Party

We celebrated Georgia's birthday the weekend before her birthday. Robert's mom, my parent's and my Grandma came in town to help celebrate. We had a few close friends come over to help celebrate too. We did a rainbow theme. I debated for a long time trying to figure out what theme I wanted to do. I originally wanted to do a Care Bear theme because I thought it was my first birthday theme. I then switched to just pink, and then to cheerios. I finally settled on rainbow. When my mom came down the day before the party, she told me she came across a picture from my first birthday and it was a rainbow party too.  How funny. Everything turned out just perfect and Georgia had so much fun with her family and friends. She got lots of great toys and has enjoyed playing with them over and over again. Finally, what you really want to see... PICTURES!!


 Georgia's special highchair. She loved the balloons.

 The food table. I tried to make everything that I could be rainbow.

 Rainbow candy, rainbow cake, cupcakes with rainbows on top, rainbow fruit kabobs, all different colored chips, rainbow goldfish, and rainbow shaped PB&J sandwiched for the kids.

 Georgia's outfit

 We match!!!

 I would say Georgia was playing with her friends, but at this point the kids were hungry and really wanted to eat so they are all sharing a snack.

 The kids were having fun playing in the wrapping paper. Note to self, don't buy gifts, just wrap boxes and they will play with the boxes and paper.

 Family picture with the cake.

 She did not smash the cake. She daintily touched the icing and licked it off

This is the messiest she got

This is a picture from my first birthday. Can you believe my mom let me stand in my high chair. Its so funny that our cakes look so similar and I didn't even know

1 year

Wow, My baby is a year old today. At exactly 1:25pm a year ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I have spent a lot of time around babies and kids, but it has been so cool spending every day with a baby and watching them grow for a year. Watching her grow and develop is so much fun. Everyday is new as she either does something for the first time or gets better with what she can do. Georgia is a very happy baby who loves to talk (wonder where she gets that from), and loves to be around other people. She has fun playing with her friends and being held by mommy and daddy.
Georgia's favorite foods are mac and cheese, yogurt, cheerios, and bananas. She has gotten so much better at eating and usually eats 3 to 4 meals a day, with multiple snacks.  We do not know her weight now, her doctor appointment is in another 2 weeks. I will post her weight then.
She is crawling faster now and is walking behind her walker. It is really cute to see her walk up to the walker, pull up, and start walking. She loves music and will dance for us when the music starts.
She can say: momma, Dada, hi, and doggy. She signs more and all done(at times she repeats my phrases and says them too). She blows kisses and understands a lot of phrases, mainly dealing with food.
She loves her laugh and learn dog toy and look at books. She doesn't want me to read them to her, but to hold them so she can turn the pages. She still loves to pull things out of boxes.
When people talk about little girls being sweet, you fit that perfectly. You have the sweetest little voice and laugh. You love to sleep, but wake up a lot right now because of your teeth. You have 2 teeth that are fully in and 3 that are just cutting through.


Here is the picture we took right before we went left for the hospital.

Here are 2 newborn pictures to see how much she has grown

My sweet little bitty baby

 It is so hard to get Georgia to sit still to take a picture now

Georgia Grace We love you so much and couldn't be prouder parents. You are the sweetest little girl and have made our lives so happy. Happy Birthday!!! Party Pictures to follow later.
