Cribbing It

Talk about growing up too fast... this girl is sleeping in her crib!!! She has long outgrown her cradle but we were waiting for weeks for her bedding to come in the mail so as soon as it came, we got her all set up! 

I could tell a difference in her sleeping right away! I think she was so much more comfortable, not to mention I had her sheets made of minky :) so soft! She's a spoiled one.

 Next on the list is painting the room to match and hanging all the pictures! Almost done...

The day, July 10th, Zach noticed her first tooth breaking through on the bottom right! A TOOTH! I couldn't believe it! 

 No wonder she has been chewing on eeeeeverything:

And sticking out her tongue :) her two favorite things right now!

A part of me was a tiny bit sad.. soon all her teeth will be coming in and she'll look so big!! I just looooove her toothless grin right now. Keeps her looking like such a baby face... ahhh, those days are fading fast.

Banana's For This Baby!

Literally AND figuratively! I am bananas for this girl and we finally started feeding her real food with actual flavor on July 9th, about 6.5 months. First up- banana!

It was pretty well received at first...

Questionable...

A certified Zach face:

All in all, I don't think she's a big fan of banana. Once I mixed it with some rice cereal, she was all about it! Maybe she's more like her mama and prefers salty over sweet! 

Next up was a pouch of sweet peas, greens, & brown rice (my sister in law gave me a ton of organic baby food that she didn't get to use!) which smelled disgusting but she scarfed it down! I was praying she wouldn't spit any of it up later...

Then it was carrot, apple, & mango:

hahaha I just cannot stop laughing! 

 Her face puckered up after EVERY BITE.

 But it didn't stop her from eating it! Haha

 I guess it was pretty tart for her...

Next I tried peach, berry, oatmeal, & quinoa just mixing a tiny bit in her rice cereal and same reaction to that! I think at this point, most fruits are tart to her and she definitely can tell even when I only put a tiny bit in! She'll eat it ok but she definitely likes plain old boring rice cereal the best!

Secret Combinations

Sunday was daddy's day to dress Georgie up for church! Look what he picked out...

 He cracks me up! It wasn't horrible so I just left it. :)

This girl is getting so strong! She is always grabbing the chair in front of me and pulling it back towards her so she can eat it.

After church, we hurried over the our cousin's church where they were blessing their baby. It was so fun getting to see them all! Then we may have rushed over to the Provo Temple where I may have known that my missionary sister was taking her walk precisely at 4:15pm... :)))) 

Ok fine, it was 100% planned and mapped out but after last weeks FAILED attempt, I was not about to waltz down to Provo in 100+ heat and spend another hour drenched in sweat searching for her! There were some secret combinations & works of darkness I mean light that brought us together. 

 So we are rule breakers...I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to see this girl!!

 And what do you think happened next.....

DUH!!!!!

It was short and sweet and literally... I sent her off with a bag of partially homemade oatmeal coconut chocolate chip cookies hahaha :)

My Mom & Georgia

I was looking through pictures and found these ones of my mom and Georgia a few days before my parents left for Taiwan...

 This girl really never stops sticking out her tongue! 

Sittin' With Dad In A Ran Storm

Over the next couple of days, there was a rain storm...only lasted a few hours.

But we found these 3 watching the show like 3 old men :)

 I love my father in law and I love the relationship he has with his kids!

Independence Day 2013

We started off the day right - a big breakfast of egg and cheese sandwiches & hashbrowns!

 With our favorite and suuuuuuper healthy choice of drink ;)

 Then it was time for a little R&R! Please, please refer to my previous post Ode To A Sleepy Husband and have yourself a good laugh again. 

 Then we headed to Sheree & Jared's house for a little swimming and bbq. Matching cousins! Sheree's girls are just sooooo cute!

Cameron & Cathy:

Zach & Jared:

 And Frank, the guy who gives us all a great time!!

Sheree & I:

Then it was time to go to Sugarhouse park for the fireworks. Jared & Sheree set up a glow stick booth every year and sell them on the 4th of July! We helped sell a couple of years ago and it's a great way to make extra money. This year we just hung out :) and I had some photo fun with this little babe:

 Mmmm, love those toesies.

I meeeeeean: 

She loves Nana so much!

It's Frank she has to warm up to... lucky he had this cool toy to distract her ;)

Ps. Is that totally not a Zach face?? He may look like his mom but Zach's personality really is 100% Frank! 

All we ever want to do is eat her.

Love her faces...

Despite being hot and sticky and having to take a cat nap in my arms with a million screaming kids everywhere, she was so happy and fun literally all day long!

And we had plenty of glow toys to keep her occupied :)

 She loved the fireworks and just stared in awe the whole time, bouncing her leg up and down the whole time. I love when she does that! I'm so glad she wasn't scared and crying! It was such a great holiday!

 I love the 4th and Sugarhouse always does great fireworks!  

Winger Family Time

Finally some more Nana and Papa time!! They came up for the 4th of July weekend!

So intrigued by Nana's jewelry! 

Her face kills me! I love it!

Cam & Chan and their family also came up! I don't think these kids could love Georgia any more! They were obsessed and it was adorable. They were made SURE I changed her diaper at all the appropriate times, fed her, and gave her naps when she needed it :)

All ready for a swim day at Seven Peaks! 

This girl is soooooo cute.

Seriously, the loves and pictures never ended.

 Hair done and getting creative with poses.

 Even the pouty face didn't stop them! So funny.

Finally made it to Seven Peaks! It was sooo hot so we rushed to the wave pool and cooled off. I made sure to bring G's sun hat - first time she's worn it and I'm glad I brought it! We were there for 3 hours... 

She was so good. Just splashing and playing. And taking a bottle break.

 No hands!

 We even went in the lazy river which makes me super nervous, I just don't trust myself with her in moving water. But thankfully, I had Helper Cora! She steered and directed us to safety. We only got waterfalled once. Just once. :)

Then we cleaned up in the bath. I could EAT this girl! Look at that face!

 Such a happy girl.

Over the next few days we did some fabric shopping with Nana (as always! We love fabric and furniture and well, any kind of shopping with Nana!) and had lunch at Gardener's Village. 

And had to keep G occupied. Ahhh the 21st century.

 Love this bunch. So glad they came to visit.
