The pink scooter

Ok...   #1 . The pink scooter was a hit at her birthday party - thanks auntie K  !

            #2. It plays fantastic scooter-like music ( she likes to push the buttons )

            #3. Who knew that a scooter could be so fun to ride with AND without clothes on!? 

 

 Here is Georgia before her bath... insisting to ride the scooter naked  -wow, pure  happiness !  What a fun little adventure she is ... something funny everyday! 

Check out her pointed lady - like toes ! She is a real biker chick! 

Better late than never

SHE CRAWLS ! that's right... at the age of 1 she finally took the plunge and crawled this week! Here is a short video of her before bath time tonight - she is on the move!

Cheeto lovin' !

Thanks to my mom ( aka : Mahnee) Georgia indulged in CHEETOS a few weeks ago when my parents were here for her birthday. I let her have a few here and there and she loved them so I figured it would be a special treat every now and then... UNTIL TODAY ...
We took a trip to Kroger and she starting pointing at the Cheetos bag in the chips aisle ! I can't believe that a one year old can recognize a cheetos bag !?? whatever !?? SO, I decided to get a bag and then the whole time we were at Kroger she turned around and pointed at the bag saying "dat! dat! " !! hah ! I was laughing so hard.... oh Georgia, you surprise me every day! SO, when we got home a gave her a few cheetos and I think it made her whole day ! Thanks Mahnee for the introduction to cheetos - the "oh so healthy" snack!

Happy 1st Birthday Georgia!

Happy Birthday Georgia Love ! Last sunday we had a great big celebration filled with family and dear friends to celebrate our most precious gift ... Little " lovesies" as we like to call her! 

The theme was LOVE  - for the month of " love" and her name Georgia love !  The dessert menu consisted of pink punch and white/red velvet cake in a beautiful HEART shape ! Georgia was such a trooper considering missing her nap, being tossed around by 40 people and having a lot of sugar for the first time. She LOVED the cake and loved all of her fun new presents. Thanks to "auntie KB " for opening her home and for the adorable tu-tu that she looked so prissy in! Here are some of our favorites...

Happy Birthday Little Love...

I can't believe that ONE YEAR ago  Feb. 2 , 2008 our little LOVEY  came into this great big world! It feels like yesterday and forever ago all at the same time. This has been the most  incredible year with Georgia and the Lord truly does give GOOD GIFTS to his children. We had a big birthday bash this past weekend and took lots of great photos ... stay tuned for those shortly... you will want to see her all dressed up in a Tu-Tu ! ha ha !

Lately...

Lately... we are getting to see such a sweet and FUN side of little miss Georgia! She is very curious ( and wants to touch and point at EVERYTHING) , she is eating a ton of new foods, drinking from a cup ALL BY HERSELF, can't get enough of BOOKS, and she is finally taking a big girl bath with all of her toys -she will stay in there as long as we let her ! I can't believe we are approaching her 1st birthday in a few weeks ... our little love is growing so fast...sigh...here are some FUN pics of the little Miss!

She is so PROUD of herself !

As you can see.. she is stuffing her face with cheetos! At least

they are organic ! ha ha !

Her favorite part of bath time - watching the water fill up!

so cute... can't wait to get in!! * check out the thunder-thighs *

This is her favorite book- all the animals have textures !

Happy New Year 2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! The Lord has been so GOOD to us this past year... and we have SO much to be thankful for. It seems weird to think that this time last year I had 4 weeks left to go in my pregnancy ,  we did not know if it was a boy or a girl , and we had no idea what a crazy and awesome journey this parenting thing would be. The Lord has grown us up and taught us so much about eachother and selflessness... and most importantly to TRUST HIM in each season. There were a few rough patches in 2008 and we definitely felt the pressure with  Sammy changing jobs,  me staying home with a new baby and just really trusting God's purpose and provision -- and HE PROVIDED every step of the way. We look to 2009 with fresh faith and FULL hearts !  Every year our pastor encourages us as a church body to read through the bible in one year with a reading plan/journal that our church has designed and I LOVE the first Psalm of the year ( every year)  because it spurs me on to be in the word daily and to commit each season to the Lord :

 Psalm 1:2-3 

    " ...they (I) delight in doing everything the Lord wants; day and night they think about his law. They are like trees planted by the river bank, bearing fruit EACH SEASON without fail. Their leaves never wither and in all they do, they prosper" 

 Lord, I give you ALL of me  each day of 2009 ...may I walk more deeply and closely with you..  Amen
