Curious Georgia

It was a labor of love and it is now almost done. I made, completly on my own, Georgia's first Haloween costume. Observe.

Here are just some pics I have not had time to put on here.

We give thanks to Nanue everyday for all the cute outfits!

First Food

Well we tried feeding Georgia some avacado yesterday water downed with a bit of breast milk. Sounds good, doesn't it? She didn't think so and will not be trying food again for another couple weeks or maybe months. She was definatley not ready for the tast or the texture. Here is the proof that the spoon was way more interesting than the food(she is actually gagging in the 3rd picture down.):

baby and the hat; baby and the spoon

Bubs likes her hat but she likes her spoon a lot more. We've found that if you take away the spoon, you take away the happy baby. I think Bubs is ready for something more than ninny, mama.

Pug Meetup

Georgia went to her second pug meetup today. She was actually old enought to enjoy this one. Here is the proof. And Milo enjoyed himself as well.

Fairy Tale

Well, Georgia experienced her very first fair today. We got up and hit the gates at opening time of 10: am. We figured Sunday would be a good day to go and the earlier the better. Parking was no problem and we just strapped little miss into her stroller and away we went. She did so goods and just rode around for over an hour. Matt and I indulged in various fried foods that I won't go into but we all had a good time. Our overall visit last about an hour and 20 minutes and we were all glad to have gone.

Another milestone was reached last night when Georgia spent her first full night in her crib. I have been getting very lazy and she has been getting a little spoiled sleeping half of the night attached to her ninny (translation: my breast). I have not been sleeping all that well because of this so I decided she should make the big move to her own bed. I am still sleeping in the room with her but last night was the first night, maybe ever, where she did not get to sleep in bed with momma at all. I was up every hour to hour and a half with her but I think over the next few nights, as she gets used to her crib and forgets the comforts of my arms, she will start sleeping for longer stretches. I miss having her next to me but for her routine and my sanity, I think this will work best for both of us in the end. My goal right now is to have her only waking up a couple times a night and for me to be back in my own bed 2 weeks from now. Gradual change is the best for her and me at this point and as long as I have a goal, I can manage waking up all night for now.

Sittin' Pretty

Georgia can now sit up unassisted for at least 4 second... and counting

Rattle Battle

Mommas Got a Brand New Drug

And they are Robeez. I have never been one for material things but I want one of each for my baby. I bought her the solid pink ones with the bow today and she is too cute in them. Below is a pic of their cuteness. I want them all... muh ah hah hah.

Sleep Deprivation

Sleep deprivation is...

...going to throw away the dirty diaper you just changed and realizing it is clean. Meaning you just took the dirty diaper off your baby and put it right back on.

The Face of an Angel

Why is it strangers and people you hardly know love to ask how your baby sleeps. Why the hell should they care? Is it to make you feel llike a bad parent if you can't say "Oh, she sleeps for 12 hours a night!" I personally am so glad my baby wakes up at night. WhileI admit, I am tired, I truley cherish those moment at night when she wakes up and just wants to be close to her momma. And every time morning comes that is one less night I have with her as a baby needing only me. So, no my baby does not sleep through the night. But she has a compasionate momma who is more than happy to nurture her and give her the love she needs all day and all night. I wouldn't want it any other way.

I think the hardest part of having a baby is letting go of the furture and what you want it to look like and just enjoying the present and the way things already are. Time goes too fast and if you spend it worried about what you are doing now affecting your babies behavior a month from now, you can waste all of this time and never get it back. Just look at her. She is an agel sent from heaven straight to my arms. Just like the pug dog, only better.

Your nose will be mine!
