5 Months & 5 Years

I can't believe how fast time flies!! Georgia turned 5 months old on our 5 year anniversary! Thankfully,  my family was in town so they were able to watch Georgia while Zach and I went out to a nice dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. We rarely ever get to go out the two of us so it was a great night.

 Obviously we look super excited about it.

 Just kidding, we really were. We love the Cheesecake Factory.

 Finishing it off with our favorite - a slice of Fresh Banana Cream Cheesecake  

 Want some??? Too bad. 

 My 5 month old blue eyed beauty:

 Check out those rolls! And still no hair. 

I really REALLY wanted to do something special for Zach for the 5 mile mark but with the new home and my family coming to stay and most of our belongings in boxes, I just didn't have the resources to do what I wanted in time so we decided our home was enough for a 5 year gift.

 I'm pretty stoked on it.

My first house key ever:

Kickin' back while we unpack!

 Oh dear. Taking after her dad... again refer to post Ode To A Sleepy Husband

So many things have been on my mind this month. Georgia was especially difficult through no fault of her own - we practically spent most of month 4 travelling (WHAT was I thinking). I pray almost daily to be a better mother and for guidance to know what she needs and how to help her be happy and healthy. I am learning to love Utah (or maybe I'm just blinded by this gorgeous spring/summer) and find myself happy and grateful on a daily basis that I have a home and a family in a beautiful place and I get to stay home with my favorite lady everyday. I love that she is growing, but I get sad that it's so fast. I have so much love for my family and feel so lucky to have seen them so much this month but I know it's for a reason and that reason makes me sad. But I try to think of the positive and not dwell on the departure of my parents and sister. So much excitement and sadness at the same time - I have a love/hate relationship with change... doesn't everyone? My heart feels full when I think of all my blessings and the beauty and love around me. I constantly remind/push myself to BE BETTER and do better. I need to keep up with the crazy fast world!
Enough of the gushy. Here's what my Boobadoo has been up to this last month:

 Sucking her toes (so so gross)

 Being a doll.

Eating her friends.

Drinking bottles all by herself.

Rolling on her side.

 Striking a pose.

Staining all her pretty clothes.

Having fun at 7 Peaks water park.

 Hanging out in her toy saucer. Both feet reach the ground now! 

Sitting straight in her bumbo! Check out those finger toes...

Enjoying bath time

By Now:

-She laughs at peek-a-boo! 

-Grabs her toes and rolls on her side

-Rolls from her tummy to her back

-Laughs & giggles when we tickle her, bounce her up and down on the bed, "eat" her fingers & toes & back, pretend to drop her, etc.

-Grabs her rattles & toys and tosses them

-Sometimes when I'm feeding her she'll look at me, reach up and touch my face all over, and get all googley-eyed at me

-Cries a lot at bedtime 

-Finally stopped peeing every time I was in the middle of changing her diaper

-Is sooooo chunky! 

-Has a little bubble-butt with cottage cheese buns!

-Loves to stand and be upright

-Is still bald

-She's too big for her baby bath so I put her in the bathtub on a sponge pad and she loves kicking around in the water

-Loves looking around at everything and every noise, it's so funny to watch her look from side to side so quickly when we hold her up next to us

-If you get up close to her face and talk to her, she will talk back! The cutest gurgling ever that goes on and on and on

-Always always wants my attention!
