Thanksgiving in Camelot...I mean Ruston!

We spent the Thanksgiving Holiday in Ruston this year. My sweet brother Ryan calls Ruston Camelot. I like to refer to it as that as well. I love Ruston and miss it terribly. I love my life and my family and friends in Orlando, but I would head back to Ruston in a flash. I just love my family more than you know. But I do have to say...I have a GREAT family here. They are way better to me than I deserve! Thanks to the Stuart's!

We had a pretty laid back Thanksgiving. Georgia Kate and I flew to Ruston on Monday morning and Robert drove on Wednesday. We hung out at home and just relaxed with family. We did get to hang out with my little brother Ross.(Who is not so little anymore). He was home from LSU (Geaux Tigers!) and it was so nice to hang out with him. We also got to see my grandmother who I love so much. It makes me sad to see her age, but that is how God designed for life to be. She loves Georgia Kate and I am so gald that she has gotten to see her. What an amazing woman of God I have gotten to see as a roll model. I also got to visit with my mom and Danny (2 of the best grandparents in the world). GOSH...I love my mom! She is amazing and the strogest woman I met! Thanks mom!

The reason that we traveled this year for Thanksgivng is because my brother got married the Saturday after Thanksgiving. My brother and his wife from San Antonio were in town and it was great to spend some time with them and their children. I love those kids so much! Being an aunt is the best job in the world...especially when you have Campbell and Cooper as your neice and nephew. I am doing a post with some pics of them...you will see those soon! Sorry for so many pictures, but I couldn't pick just a few!

I know she is mine, but how precious is she and how cute is this dress?

She loves her Uncle Ross and her Uncle Ross loves her!

Family Fun Time!

We had professional photos taken a couple of weekends ago. Robert and I had the best time with Georgia Kate and the photographers were AWESOME! If you live in the Orlando area they are Pennington Photography based out of Jacksonville. Mark Pennington is the photographer and he did a fantastic job...and of course he couldn't have done it without Joi. She made all of us smile! Thanks for a great session. I had a hard time picking some to put on the blog so you have several to look through. The others will be on our Christmas card!

This is one of my favorites! You will probably see this on our Christmas Card!

Dancing the Night Away!

Robert's cousin John Charles got married to his beautiful bride April last Saturday and we took Georgia Kate to her first wedding. She was so good! She sat through the wedding and then partied the night away at the reception. She was so much fun to have around and we had a blast with her. Needless to say by the time we were ready to go home she was pooped!

I love my Daddy!

Georgia Kate loves her Daddy...Enough said!

Our Friend Luke!

We went to Billy and Ashley's house the other night for dinner. We couldn't find a sitter for Georgia Kate so we decided to take her with us. She was very close to perfect. She and Luke played together for a while. Luke was so cute and he would just say her name and she would just stare at him. They were really cute together. Maybe we see a couple in the future. That would be ok with me! Luke has great parents and we would love for GK to be his little girlfriend!

Two of the cutest babies I have ever seen!

This would be Georgia Kate just laughing at Luke!

Luke did such a good job of sharing his toys with Georgia Kate. I know it wasn't easy since she would just take them out of his hand.

Georgia Kate and Luke playing in the pack and play. They were so cute together. Luke would say Georgia Kate's name and she would just laugh at him.

Bath Time Fun Time!

Georgia Kate LOVES bathtime and I have learned to LOVE bathtime too! I will put her in her little tub and she will play in it for hours if I would let her. We really do spend about 30 minutes in our bath tub every night. She will just giggle and splash!

All Smiles

I love this picture of Georgia Kate. While I am at school I just find myself looking at my phone so I can see this picture. This really shows her true personality and I think she is precious even though she is my baby!

Happy Birthday Aunt Sarah!

Happy Birthday Aunt Sarah!

My brother's fiancee is celebrating her birthday today! Georgia Kate just wanted to celebrate with her. We knew that Aunt Sarah would love a cupcake so Georgia Kate got out her pretend cupcake to help celebrate! We sent these pictures to Aunt Sarah in an email! It was our card for her. Aunt Sarah...we hope you have a fabulous day! Can't wait to celebrate with you and Uncle Ryan at your wedding!

Happy Halloween From the Cutest Gator Witch Ever!

We had so much fun tonight with our precious little Gator Witch! I was so proud of her costume. Robert's mom made the tutu and the hat! She looked like a doll.

Go Gators...Beat Georgia!

This was a fun Saturday with our girl! She has on her precious smocked gator dress! Yes...she does have on her gator panties as well. We love our little gator girl!

Daddy is so proud of his girl!

Night Time Stories

Georgia Kate loves to be read to. Daddy reads to his girl every night. She will sit there for several books. She even laughs and points to all the pictures. I know...she is sooooo smart! HAHAHA!

Our Evening Routine...So Much Fun!

We start our "getting ready for bed" routine around 6:00 every night. We keep it pretty much the same! Georgia Kate gets to eat a fun little melt away cookie while I get her dinner ready . We are eating all kinds of food for dinner. Green Beans, Sweet Potatoes, and Carrots are just a few of our favorites! She is also eating apple rice cereal at every meal too in hopes that we gain a little bit of weight. She still has a hard time keeping it all down, but she is a WHOLE lot better. After dinner we are usually a mess...

So we head straight to the bath! We are still taking our bath in our little pink plastic tub that fits in the sink. We tried the big bathtub and I don't think that she was quite ready for that. She feels safe and secure in her little tub for now. She LOVES bath time!
She is getting to where she loves to play and spit bubbles and just be silly in the bath. I love that she is such a happy baby in the bathtub. I told Robert that we will probably be spending lots of time on our knees in the bathroom. I am sure that we will have to put a timer in there so she doesn't turn into a prune.

Then after bath time we get to play some more! I love this time of the night because it wipes away all the fussy time we had before now! She seems to be so happy after her bath and she is just so darn cute in her pajamas! I love pajamas!!!! She is crawling into our bedroom and I am sure that she was headed for trouble. We are having to watch every move she makes these days!
