15 months

Hi Boyfriend!

Yet another month has passed and it's been a busy one.

We have been spending lots of time in Leavenworth (a place where you don't sleep well, making for loooong weekends), and getting ready for Christmas by decorating the house, meeting Santa, and playing with ornaments on the tree (this one is by far your favorite, which of course makes Sissy mad since "it's mine, GG!!")

Oh, the joy of the holidays  :)

And while we've been having a great month, a 105 degree fever and ear infection landed you at Children's Hospital last Monday night.  It was a rough week but you were full of cuddles, so I can't say I hated every minute  :)

We had your 15 month appointment last week too. You're 31.75" (74%), and 22lbs, 5.5oz (45%) and doing great!

Here are your New News this month:

  • I haven't taught you much sign language, but you've started signing "Jesus" for "more".  (I didn't teach that to you) It makes me laugh every time!
  • You climb EVERYTHING (Gma and Gpa's oven was your latest feat)
  • And you're strong and smart enough to open the refrigerator, dish washer, and dryer. You keep me busy!
  • Dad wants to get your hair cut, but I can't stand the thought (Viva La Baby Wings!)
  • You broke two molars and are up to 8 teeth now
  • Favorite books: Elmo's Big Book, Touch and Feel Puppy, and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood
  • You're a dancing machine and love the songs on your puppy guitar
  • You're learning animal sounds: cat, dog, horse, pig, snake, duck, cow, and monkey
  • Starting to say "more" at meals (or sign for Jesus) ;)
  • You insist on a spoon or fork at mealtime and prefer cups to sippys
  • You love pointing out when something is "ha!" (hot) 
  • 50% of the time you're taking one nap a day.  Makes planning hard!
  • Your nick names are growing: GG, GG Boy, Georgia Boy, Geej, JJ, Joe (Joe is my fav!)

Christmas is almost here and Dad and I have the most adorable present planned for you and Sissy.  

I can't wait to see your reaction!

I love you, Geej.

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week.    I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down.  It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her?  That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie,  You were the first piece to my "own" family.  I remember vividly the day I got you.  It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag).  I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...
