Georgia's Baptism Day

Today was Georgia's special day...she was baptized! The service was beautiful, and Georgia was a pretty good girl, despite being well overdue for a nap. Thank you to all our family and friends for helping us to celebrate our sweet girl on her special day!

Preparing the font

Oliver couldn't wait for the pouring :)

She loved it!

Oliver said, "Did you like being baptized, baby?" Melt my heart.

Having a private chat with Father Ted

This 3 year old was over it. I think his face says it all.

Oliver had to chat up Father Ted after the service. He kept telling him he looked like a "police car guy." Ha!

I love the baptismal font at Seton. So beautiful!

He's ready to go!

Yummy vegan cupcakes...so mommy can enjoy them :-)

Happy girl in her party dress

Daddy and his girl

Georgia Kate is 4 Months Old!

Weight: 15 lbs 8 oz

Height: 26 inches

What she's wearing: Size 2 diaper, 3-6 month clothes

Eating: Every 4 hours. She eats cereal with her bottles. She have also tried applesauce, but she's still not very interested.

Sleeping: She eats at 8:00 pm, and then she falls asleep until 6:00 am when I wake her up to eat again. We have been weaning her from the swaddler recently because she is like Houdini...it doesn't matter how tightly I swaddle her, she always manages to get at least one limb out. \

Special Tricks: Georgia is giggling all the time now. She has also rolled over one time (at the sitter's) but hasn't been interested in a repeat performance. She has also found her voice. She loves to shriek and babble. Her hands are always in her mouth, and occasionally she sucks her thumb.

Activities: Georgia is still loving her playmat, Bumbo seat (when her big brother gives it up for her!) and her exersaucer. She is a mover and a shaker so she prefers to stretch out and be able to kick and move around.

Georgia is developing quite the personality! She wants things when she wants them! It's been so much fun to watch how she and Oliver interact with one another. They definitely are smitten with each other...at least for the time being!


 

Georgia Kate is 3 Months Old!

Weight: 15 lbs 1 oz

Height: 26 1/2 inches

What she's wearing: Size 2 diaper, 3-6 month clothes

Eating: Every 4 hours. We have tried cereal and banana as well, but she's not too interested in them yet. Sleeping: She falls asleep around 7:00-7:15 every night. I wake her up around 9:00 to eat (I'm slowly backing it up), and then she falls back asleep until 6:00 am when I wake her up to eat again.

Special Tricks: Georgia smiles and giggles all the time. She is trying so hard to roll over but hasn't quite made it yet.

Activities: Georgia prefers to sit up so she is loving her Bumbo seat and exersaucer lately. She still enjoys laying on her playmat and playing with her animals too. She thinks everything Oliver does is hysterical, and he just loves her so much.

Georgia has really struggled with some belly issues and fussiness in her short little life. Recently, she was diagnosed with a milk protein intolerance (sort of a precursor to a milk allergy) so I have had to stop eating dairy. So far, we have not seen much of a difference. Hopefully, things will begin getting better soon. Other than this, Georgia continues to be a pretty happy baby. She has brought us so much joy in the past 3 months!

New Family Pictures

A few weekends ago, we had new family pictures taken again by our wonderful photographer, Ashley Ernstberger. It was time. We have no printed pictures of Georgia in our house...I guess that's what happens when you have a baby in the digital age. This time we chose West Park in Carmel for our photo shoot. Once again, it was a chilly day, but the kids cooperated so I call it a success. Now I'm in love with these pictures and can't wait to cover the walls of our house with them. Here's my sweet family...

These two love. each. other.

Sweet baby girl

My absolute favorite...love my babies.

Easter 2014

Last weekend, we headed up to South Bend to celebrate Oliver's birthday and Easter with our family. We had a great time catching up with everyone. Easter with Don's family is always a good time. It's held in the cafeteria and gym of the elementary school Don attended. There's always a ton of food, fellowship, a pinata and an Easter egg hunt. Such great traditions that I'm so glad to have with the kiddos. Of course, Oliver thought this was yet another birthday party for him so we had to explain what Easter was all about! :-)

I don't know which he liked better: the candy or the money in the eggs!
