Swimming with Taylor

Erica and I have signed Taylor and Georgia up for Starfish swimming every Monday. It is great to have a cousin and sister in law to share these moments with!

Cathie came out and took some pics this past Monday, here are some of the pictures.

Look mom I can CRAWL!

Yesterday was a big day, all of the sudden my little baby was pulling herself up onto everything, and crashing to the ground after each attempt. Then this morning, I put Georgia down in the family room and she crawled over to me! I was so excited I called and emailed everyone to tell them the good news.



Here is a shot of Georgia's 2nd crawl (sorry Trev, I didn't quite get the first on camera...)

But then to be honest, as excited as I was, I couldnt help but to be sad (translation- burst into tears) that Georgia really isnt a baby anymore. She truly is a little toddler now...

PS - if you happen to catch the commentary in the video, it turns out that I didnt actually know what day it was.... Georgias first crawl was actually on Oct 29, not the 30th. But dont forget it was before my morning coffee :)

Gobble Gobble Georgie!

We spent thanksgiving weekend with lots of family, on Friday we celebrated over a fantastic dinner with Chad, Erica and Taylor. Then on Sunday we celebrated with my mom and family, then on Monday with Mary Cormier and ger family. What a weekend!

I wanted to post these pics of Georgia in her Thankgiving outfit from aunt Taren and of Georgia playing with her great nana and papa.

Happy

Not Happy

Happier

Very Unhappy!

These days Georgia goes from happy to unhappy in seconds!

Bringin Back My Booty!

Well, we are now are now at eight months and I have to come to the realization that you cant eat ice cream for nine months straight without consequences! So, this past week I started on a mission to bring back my booty!

So, for a few months I must say goodbye to moosetracks ice cream and hello to all things green (lettuce, broccoli etc.).

Why am I announcing it here? Well, mostly because once its out there, I simply cant go back! So, I hereby pronounce I am bringing back my booty, one salad at a time :) Wish me luck!

End of Summer

This is a beautiful picture of Georgia that Trev and I took on one of the last nice days of the summer.

G-Bean Chronicles Fan Club

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the G-Bean Chronicles has a FAN club! Just this past weekend I ran into one of my fan. Well, the truth is, that it is really a "fan" club because I think I only have one.... But that is really all you need to start a club these days.

So, this entry is a shout out to my super fan - Kristie! My only wish is that I can inspire a poem from her without having to pee on the 427.

Where the Princess Sleeps

I have finally taken some pics of Georgia's room and I thought I would post them on here.

Happy Eight Months Georgia!

I can hardly believe it, in a few short weeks my little bean is turning 8 months old. Every day lately she has been learning something new or developing in some way. All of the sudden it feels like her growth is on fast forward! Am I strange to wish I could press pause until I am ready for the next step?

I decided to take some time and share some of the things I have learned about Georgia thus far:

- She loves being around people, big or small. She rarely plays strange (except for a few ppl, sorry Andrew and Mike!) and enjoys watching activity around her
- Georgia LOVES to hear herself talk (I am told she gets this from me, but I want to set the record straight that her father also loves to hear himself talk :)
- Georgia is the worlds biggest Daddy suck. She can be at her most fussiest moment and the minute she lays eyes on Trevor she is the happiest baby in Baden. Of course, I am sure Trevor wonders what I was complaining about when he called 5 minutes before....
- Georgia sleeps with her little blankie and her nuk. She rarely lets me rock her to sleep or cuddle with her, even at this age she is a very independent baby with very strong opinions.
- Georgia 's favourite toys are Sophie the Giraffe, rack-a-stack and her whoosit.
- Georgia has a very healthy appetite and loves to eat, her favourite foods so far are peas, frozen fruit in a net and mum mums.
- Georgia has a smile for everyone, literally every time I look at her she has a smile to share.

With only a few months to go until I go back to work, I intend on enjoying every minute with her. I genuinely believed that I would never have this opportunity to share these moments with a baby of our own, and it is everything i ever hoped and a whole lot more.

Jesus Loves Georgie

Georgia was baptized on August 24, 2008 surrounded by family, friends and her fabulous godparents Tristyn and Mike. Mary Cormier made most of the fabulous food and other guests were kind enough to bring appepetizers.

A special thank you to all of the guest that travelled from Ottawa (and surrounding areas!), friends and family that attended and of course to Tristyn and Mike for agreeing to be Georgia's godparents.
