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!

As I have mentioned in previous post Georgia Kate is crawling EVERYWHERE! Robert and I love it because she can entertain herself and follow us around the house. It is really cute! I had a chance to catch a little bit of the action the other day! Excuse mine and Robert' s voices!

Happy 7 Months!

Happy 7 Months Georgia Kate! We love you and you have totally blessed our lives since you were born! We are so proud to be your Mommy and Daddy and can't believe that you are already 7 months old. Your smile brings joy to our hearts and your laugh is contagious! Daddy and I just start laughing when we here your precious laugh. We never dreamed that you would be this much fun.

You are crawling nonstop now!

You are eating all kinds of babyfood and even eating a few things like peas, green beans, and mashed potatoes. You love to eat the "real" stuff. You still aren't a big fan of your formula bottles and I think you tolerate the babyfood because you know that mommy and daddy really want you to be a good eater.

You are crawling all over the house and pulling up on EVERYTHING. You pull up in your bed and when we come in your room after a nap or in the mornings we see your big smile.

You are starting to like the car a little bit better. We moved you to the big girl carseat!

You know that when Mommy gets the camera out you are supposed to smile.

You laugh a lot and it makes me so happy.

You are playing with all sorts of toys and can entertain yourself for a while on the floor.

You still love your exersaucer and you even like you cool new jumper.

We got you an umbrella stroller and you like that too.

You are growing up too fast!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Ok...so I went a little overboard! I took a ton of pictures at the pumpkin patch because I was so excited to be there! I have always dreamed of the day that I would be able to take my little boy or girl to the pumpkin patch, pick out a Christmas tree, and on an Easter egg hunt. I love the holidays and I am so glad that I have a precious little girl to start sharing all these fun times with! Georgia Kate had so much fun with all the pumpkins!

My Precious Baby!

Georgia Kate's New Trick

This is what I walked into the other day after nap time! I guess I better watch out. She is pulling up everywhere and crawling all over the place!

Bare With Me

Below you will find a bunch of new post! I have been so busy and I haven't had a whole lot of time to blog lately. I hate it because I have such big plans to have this blog made into a book and I also like the idea that his blog keeps my friends and families up to date in Ruston! Hope you enjoy all the new things going on in our life! Happy reading!

We have an Aunt Sarah !

We can oficially say "WE HAVE AN AUNT SARAH!!!!". Yea!!!!! We are so excited about the news! Ryan, my brother, asked Sarah to marry him. Georgia Kate loves Aunt Sarah and can't wait for her to be in our family.

Aunt Sarah and Uncle Ryan! I love my Uncle Ryan so much and I am so excited about his news!

Camelot

Robert and I went to Ruston (Camelot) this past weekend. We had such a good time and got to see so many fun family and friends. I love all these pictures! It took Georgia Kate a while to warm up to all these fun people, but she was loving them all by the end of the weekend.

Four Generations!

I have been dying to take this picture since I was pregnant with Georgia Kate. This is four generations! I really wanted to have a professional picture, but I have never been able to work it all out. I took this little snap shot when we were visiting my grandmother. I love it and I think that it turned out perfect!

A Visit with Gigi

Robert, Georgia Kate, and I traveled to Ruston, Louisiana last Thursday. We had been planning on going to the LSU/UF game in Baton Rouge for several weeks now. I was really excited at first and then I decided that I really just wanted to "Go Home". I love Ruston so much and miss it terribly. I wanted to go eat at Log Cabin, Shop at the "cute" little shops that they don't have here in Orlando, I wanted to walk into a store or restaurant and just know someone, but most of all I really wanted to see my family. I love them so much and miss them so bad!

Just recently my grandmother, who had lived with my family for 13 years, just moved into the Russ House. The Russ House is an assisted living facility. My mom, aunts, and cousins fixed up her room and made it into the perfect place for my grandmother. I wanted to be there so bad when they were moving her into the Russ House, but I couldn't make the trip. We even had a "ribbon cutting" for her. I know my family is crazy, but I love them so much!!!! With all this to say I got to go see Gr'Nana and her new pad! She loved seeing Georgia Kate and enjoyed being around her. Here are some pictures from our visit with my grandmother.

Moving All Around!

Georgia Kate is getting so big and moving all around. She started about three weeks ago "trying" to crawl. She would get up on her knees and rock and wanted to do it so bad. Every afternoon, Annie (The Best Babysitter in the World and also a GREAT aunt too) would say "she is going to do it tonight". She never did it and then one day I turned around and she was under the chair in our din. She is really learning how to move around and what that is all about. Now we are working on pulling up. It won' t be long until I have to move some "pretties" around!

My House Has Become Babies R Us!

Robert and I bought a 2 bed 2 bath condo when we first got married. We had looked and looked and we were buying during the housing boom so things that were in our price range just weren't what "I" was looking for. Orlando is alot of OLD neighborhoods with TINY houses in them. We would have had to totally redo a house if that was what we decided to buy. Plus I wasn't keen on the location of any of the homes that we were actually looking. Moving from small town Louisiana to Orlando was quite the culture shock to me. I wasn't used to hearing about a murder every day on the news. I think that may have happened in the Ark-la-tex maybe 3 times in my life time! So, needless to say I was a little picky about where we lived. I loved the condo and it was a gated community, that was new, clean, and I knew that it had lots of potential.

Robert and I have had a great time working on it. We have laid new hardwood floors, painted, and even changed several of the fixtures in the house. I have had a great time decorating t for fall, Christmas, spring, and even summer. Robert is amazed at all the boxed of decorations we have and we have only been married for 4 years. We have entertained many of our friends and have really enjoyed our "first" home. Since the baby has come we have turned our guest bedroom into the nursery and our computer now lives on the dining room table. UNLESS we are having company and then we wheel the printer and office supplies out into the storage for the night! We are getting rid of a coffee table and getting something much smaller so all of Georgia Kate's things can fit into our LITTLE space! We have an exersaucer, jumper, high chair, toy box, boppy seat, and musical table ALL in the den! Yes...I have to admit that it drives me crazy sometimes and I threaten to get rid of something, but I have to say that I am doing a pretty good job managing all these things in such a small place! I know that soon enough we will be able to sell this place and find a new home that Georgia Kate will get to grow up in, but for now...I love my house being the 2nd Babies R Us in Orlando!
