Holidays!

Boy, have we been busy! We packed up everything and spent two weeks at the Smiley grandparents house for Thanksgiving and it was great!

Georgia got to spend some time with her cousins which was entertaining and overwhelming.

We have been trying lots of new veggies and fruits, which Georgia is still loving. Thank goodness, I never realized feeding a baby could be so difficult!

Baby girl has been working on some teeth this last week, which has made for a lot of cranky days but I think we are past the worst of it and she has two cute little front teeth popping through. However, she won't let me take a picture of them, or touch them for that matter. They still must be sensitive, poor thing. We are slowly transitioning Georgia out of her baby bath tub to the regular bath, this child loves bath time!

We are all decked out with Christmas decor over here, going through the holidays with a baby is definitely different and wonderful.

I can't believe Georgia is already 7 months old, time is flying by even though sometimes the days feel so so long.

Lastly, because Eric and I don't already have enough on our plate with a baby, a dog and two bunnies we decided to try out a second dog thanks to my parents. Ha ha. Yes we are crazy. However, so far for a puppy he has been very good. Looks like we will probably be keeping him. Archie is thrilled about his new puppy brother. 

Tomorrow is Eric's birthday! And we will be attempting our Christmas picture, stay tuned for that! 

Sick

With Eric's return from a week long business trip has come a week of everyone being sick. Eric and I had very light colds, Georgia however seems to have gotten it the worst. Poor sweet baby is full of snot. 

Thankfully it seems like she's finally starting to improve. Needless to say there's been a lot sniffling, crying, whining and carrying around this week. In between getting sneezed and coughed on I managed to go through and pack away some of Georgia's newborn clothes. I already forgot how tiny she use to be! Georgia was a good helper and enjoyed playing with the hangers, probably not the safest toy.....but she was supervised :)

Hopefully this next week we will all be healthier and happier!

We can't wait to go to Grandma and Grandbob's house and see all the cousins for thanksgiving! Yippee!

Halloween

Eric was away on business for Halloween, but Gigi and I had fun celebrating. Baby girl was a sweet lady bug, I was a butterfly and Archie was a bumblebee. We trick or treated at our neighbors house and then went to a baby Halloween party with our friends. There seems to be a baby epidemic in San Luis Obispo....everyone is getting pregnant here! We experienced our first rain here in a year and unfortunately we had to walk home in it from the party. I'm hoping for a wet winter!

Happy Halloween!

High chair

In the last two weeks I started Georgia on rice cereal, so far it's quite a hit! She's been eyeing and grabbing for my food for awhile now so after she turned five months I decided it was time. I quickly discovered that trying to hold and spoon feed a squirmy baby is an impossible task so we got her a high chair, she's very excited about it.

 

We watched our friends dogs this week, it was definitely a circus at our house with three rambunctious pups and a cranky baby.

 

Lastly, sweet Georgia is getting dedicated at church this Sunday, yippee!

5 Months Old

Sweet baby Georgia is five months already! We love her more each day. This little girl already has some spunk, she has strong opinions about what she likes and dislikes, and makes sure we know it! Here's a quick look at my cutie.
