G is 15 months

*Dr. update - G is 22 lbs. ~50th% and 31 in. ~75th%

Georgia is 15 months old now and getting to be so big, not so much height or weight, but more so in getting around and things she can do and say.She is very vocal and likes to chat it up with her sister..there is rarely a quiet moment here. I think G is going to speak more clearly than E, eventually. She is a Momma's girl and cries when I put her down, leave a room or hand her over to someone.
She is at that cute stage where she can wrap her little legs around my waist and hold on really tight! It takes a lot to pry her off of me sometimes!
She still eats and sleeps well.
We attended a bday party and G sat at the table with all the big kids..she drank her juice box and ate things off her plate. It was too cute to watch her act like she belonged!
Georgia has 5 teeth..only..not sure why they are so slow to come but it hasn't slowed her down in the eating department!
Georgia is also showing more of her personality..while she is still laid back overall, she can throw a mean fit and will bang her head on the tile floor. She squeals and gets mad in her carseat..when she wants something she yells and turns red. So there is definitely spunk! Georgia is so cute to watch her waddle around. She isn't quite running yet, but she is quick and can get into trouble in a flash. She still likes to get into cabinets and she loves to climb on the couch and go back and forth..she falls off and just hops right up and climbs back up!
We love you Georgia. We love your little sweet face and voice, your rosy cheeks and your open-mouth kisses. We love that you want us to hold you because we know that too will change soon. Keep on growing and loving on us!

Christmastime

It is the most wonderful time of the year. We had our MOPS Christmas party, with Santa, decorating cookies, makies wreaths and ornaments and lots of running around..the girls had a blast! I even got comments on Emma's signature clothesline move that she does on Georgia (almost daily) ;)

So much fun for us with our two little girls..who are at such a fun age..Georgia is still not sure about Santa, where Emma is finally in love! She ran right up to him and gave him a hug, shook his hand and then when she sat on his lap she was tugging at his beard. So sweet..
Emma gets it this year. She understands it..the presents, the tree, the excitement. We are working on the miracle of it all being the birth of Jesus, but it is so much fun to see her light up.
"Nook, a Mismastree!" (wearing their new penguin pjs)

Emma has her own tree in her room..we bought pink ornaments and hung them up. She was very particular about how she wanted them placed.
Georgia is being pretty good and not destroying the trees. before this picture was taken I attempted to put G on Santa's lap. She was not having it and started crying, turning red and trying to make a break for it. Santa was saying, "I'm gonna drop her, I'm gonna drop her!"
We have a dancin' Santa that they love also. The girls turn him on and go to town. They listen to it over and over again, beboping the whole time!who doesn't love decorating the house for Christmas in a swimsuit?? She has been wearing all of hers around the house all month long now!

Say it ain't so..

Dada: Are you sharing with your sister?
Emma: No. I don't want to share with my Georgia!Dada: Emma, where did you put your cup?
(while walking off from the dinner table)
Emma: My momma needs to clean this up! (tossing her cup in the sink)
Dada: There's an angel in the sky. (pictures in a book)
Emma: I'm an angel too!

what a...sassy, um..big girl!

Oh and did I mention she is having her 1st sleepover with her friend, Ainsley!! She is so excited!

She has started to call me "Mo-mmy" very clearly and enunciated. She used to say "Momma" quickly. I am hoping this is a turning point in how she speaks..more pronounced!!

Give thanks

We definitely did this year!

The girls and I hung out in CS until Daniel came in the day before turkey day. We had a big group of family and friends come in from near (Houston) and far (Mississippi)! My mom, Aunt Jennie & I spent the days before prepping the house, tables, food and desserts. Pumpkin Pie is my thing. I love to eat it so I don't mind cooking a few for the big day! They were wonderful as usual and we even brought some home with us.I also made a broccoli rice casserole and it was awesome. I was so busy feeding the girls and keeping them occupied that I didn't eat a whole bunch at our actual lunch. But I more than made up for it in leftovers!The girls, Daniel and I headed out before we ate for a little photo shoot. It was not really a good idea..no one was happy or participating. I was hoping to get some pics for a Christmas card, as I have been stumped as to what to send out this year. I think I can piece together the shots...MANY thanks goes to Marigene, my good friend from Houston, who came in town to celebrate with us!The weekend continued with a tailgate party for the Aggie/t.u. game. Mark Ernst allowed us to come and hang out with them for the afternoon before me and Daniel headed to the game!The game was amazing..the atmosphere..one of the best I can remember..the enthusiasm and excitement could be felt..we were so close so many times..but once Texas ran the ball back I knew it was over! I wasn't that upset because I really didn't expect us to beat the #3 ranked team..so it is just nice to know we inflicted fear into our opponents! And yes, you know you were scared you Texas fans!!I was really happy to be there remembering it was the 10th anniversary of Bonfire falling. They did a wonderful job stirring up all the emotions of that time so many years ago!Friday, we headed to the annual Reed pig roast. It was great to see many faces we don't make a habit of seeing more regularly. It was also a 30th b-day party for some guys from my highschool - Dave, Brandon, Brent & Josh..wow, I am feeling old!! So many kids running around now. We also got to meet Bella, Ry & Kelli's little girl. She is too cute and was really great all night!! The only pics I took were of E & G when we got thereEmma was cold and her teeth were chattering!! Thanks to Natalie for the adorable outfits she keeps the girls in :)

FINALLY, we are home and I couldn't be happier. I am exhausted and ready for MDO to start up!! I have not walked into this house for over 2 weeks...that is a long time to live out of a suitcase with 2 young girls - shoes & bows are everywhere!!

The house is now decorated for Christmas and we even have a party planned! Fa la la la la...
