Sleepy Newborn

Seriously. Did I mention all she did was sleep her life away the first 2 months????? All day every day, no matter where or what position.

And I loved letting her sleep on me! I could watch her all day... she is so precious.

Georgia's Newborn Pictures

Backing up a couple months to record all the things I left out... Here are the newborn pictures that my wonderful sister in law, Steph, took for us. Georgia was just 1 week old! 

 I loved the winter pics to commemorate her birth during this cold weather!

 Snowball bum :)

 

Look at that fannie!! Love that little behind.

 Makes me want to snuggle up next to her.

 Of course at the very end of the shoot when I'm holding her, she decides to pee all over me... 

what can ya do??

We didn't get a chance to do hands and feet, so Zach did a little picture taking of his own at 2 weeks. And they turned out great!! I was impressed...

 Gettin artsy on me 

 long skinny feet

 I love staring at that face. 

Fun Food Weekend

This weekend we had some fun with family, friends and food!

First we went to dinner on Friday with Cousins Brandon & Julie and their little guy Walker babe. We went to our fave sushi place ever - Happy Sumo - aaaaaand paid for it later :(((((( actually I don't know what to attribute my horrendous stomach aches to anymore.... it could be anything. Anyway, after that, we weren't satisfied so we headed to a super cute little cottage home that was turned into a bakery called The Chocolate.

Love Walker's faces...

 And of course this babe's face

Unfortunately, the dessert was NOT worth the money... my cupcake was completely hard, including the frosting... and I heard the same was for the cakes - it was like they were all  days old :( but maybe that's our fault since we didn't order their specialty - The Kazookie - same thing as a pazookie, but they have to call it their own I guess. I totally would have ordered one if I had realized/remembered/not had an Alzheimer's moment and opted for what my Abu-gem-eyes spotted in the glass windows... ugh, I hate dessert/food regrets. It's the worst.
After that, it was so cold that we called it quits and went home to snuggle under the covers!

On Saturday we slept in and lounged around planned a night for our friends, Emily & Jason and their little big guy Charlie Banks! I can't believe how much he's grown! And how he drags himself around in the army crawl laughing and squealing all the time! Too funny.

Sadly, I don't have pictures, but we decided instead of doing the same old dinner date, that we would cook a meal together!! So of course I took to pinterest :) and couldn't decide on any one thing, so this is what we had:
-Lemon butter & Italian herb shrimp
-Coconut shrimp & orange marmalade
-Creamy cheesy orzo pasta & peas
-Balsamic veggie salad w/ avocado, cucumber, grape tomatoes, and basil

While the boys watched the chillens, us amazing wives prepared and cooked the meal! It was a hit and I must say, I enjoyed it even more than going out to a nice dinner, waiting & salivating over it, and then eating it too fast to enjoy.
We popped in a movie in the theater room and then topped off the night with some refreshing green smoothies! I wanted the fatty lemon cake, but we opted for quick & healthy. Boooooo.

At the end of the night, I almost went to bed without snapping a quick pic of my 3 month old babe. I didn't think to celebrate it earlier that day...

And the many faces of Georgiaam cm a: 

 Then it was off to bed with 9am church in the morning! And this is what happens when we forget the binky:

Daddy becomes a chew toy. I refrained from asking when the last time he washed his hands was...

Such a great weekend and can't wait for tomorrow!! NaNa & Grampus are coming to Utah!! 

G's 3 Month Mark

Parents have been saying it forever. And I knew I would say it too. But WHERE does the time go????

This question has obviously never been solved.

I don't understand how Georgie is already three months old! But I do know that she is the happiest, cutest, best, greatest, most amazing little thing ever and I seriously love every day with her. I awaited and awaited her arrival and now I just want to slooooow things down. Wouldn't you if you saw this face??

And this one

 Even when it starts to look like this

And this

I just feel lucky because it eventually always goes back to this

Um, I WIN.

I love this girl so so much and it melts my heart how much she loves me back. I love being somebody's favorite, even if it's only for a little while... (ahem, Kell...don't feel sad. I'm sure I'll be another second best in a few short months when she realizes just how cool Dad is...sad day).

By now:

*The few hairs she has left are still reddish/orange
*Weighs about 11 pounds
*Has a pretty regular schedule of eating every 3-4 hours and sleeping from 12-7am
*Gurgles and coos in response to our baby talk
*Has a really strong kick, especially when she's throwing a fit and arching her back
*Starting to discover laughing (Zach made her laugh a couple times but it's mostly excited coughs)
*Loves YouTube videos
*Realized just how interesting her hands are, stares at them all day long

Exhibit A:

 Exhibit B:

 Exhibit C: 

*Prefers sucking on her hands and fingers over the binky
*Can now clasp them together in front of her and even grasp a rattle for a short time

Baby Fever

Sadly, I am not in the market for a 2nd baby... little G actually had a fever on Wednesday :( poor babe felt so hot and sweaty to the touch. And with Zach out of town for work, thankfully, soon to be nursing grad & best friend Nikki:

was paying her weekly visit at my place (so sad those will be ending in a month...) and advised me to call my doctor's office. Who told me I had to bring her in to be checked because she's so young, and then sent me off to the hospital (after poking and prodding baby until she was beside herself and choking on her own tears :( broke my heart) to be monitored for at least 24 hours. 

Just a side note: even with a mild fever and after the poking and prodding meltdown, this baby was so sweet and happy and didn't even seem to notice or care about her IV which was taped to her arm so thoroughly, it looked like she had a splint on.

I thought I would be up all night with her, but she slept till 7:15! As did Caitlin, who also spent the night in the hospital with us on the lounge chair. That girl can sleep anywhere! As long as she has her pillow pet :)

 A little pick-me-up from Nikki... 

Finally Zach flew in and came straight over to check in on his girl. And make sure her self esteem was up to par - "Who out there is prettier than you? Who? No one! No one is prettier than you..." love them.

Finally made it home at 9pm last night. So glad we didn't have to stay for 48 hours! As soon as we got home, we got ready for bed and I gave the babe a much needed bath to wash away that lingering hospital smell... 

Love this picture of her, lookin like a figher (really she is just obsessed with staring at her hands, all day errrryday).
