Georgia Visits Washington

On May 21st we embarked on our first airplane trip to beautiful Washington to visit the St. Germain family. It was a wonderful trip full of family and fun. Here are some of our favorite memories:

Georgia is all ready for her first road trip, a 5 hour drive from Seattle to Spokane

Making a pit stop to check out the view and the cold!

Georgia LOVES her aunties Terri, Chris, Tina and Patty

She also loved to meet Nana & Poppa Brown

The first ATV ride for Georgia and her mom. Chloe is an excellent navigator up front.

Her first carousel ride at Riverfront Park in Spokane

Playing around with her cousins Victoria and Kasay

A special visit with Great Aunt Bess

Georgia loves her Grandpa St. Germain

Cousin Tim made her laugh

A visit to super mom Lisa and her newborn Ruby and daughter Lucy

Georgia's first experience with a dog

And the johhny jumper which she loved

So much it made her fall asleep

Another first, snow!

With the boys Chip, David Davis and Kenny Brown at the Longhorn in Tacoma

With Auntie Chris on her birthday

Celebrating Chris's birthday at Steamboat Annies with Auntie Patty and the rest of the family

We started the trip with 6 diapers, 3 changes of clothes and 1 happy baby. We ended with 2 diapers, no clothes and a baby who took a 6 hour nap the minute we got home.

5 Months Old

Our litle ham! She loves to smile for everyone but as dad says, "she's happy, happy, happy until she is pissed off" and she let's you know.

5 months old with Fred

She discovered him!

Lyell, Kim and Dad come to visit. Lyell & Georgia spend most of their time on their Blackberries.

4 Months Old

Four months old already? Can you tell she figured out what the camera does?

In her big girl crib but still swaddled. Hopefully she will outgrow it but it doesn't look promising

Posing in front of her amazing diaper cake, already in size 2's!

Her favorite toy, the exer-saucer or exer-office since she sits in it while we work.

Two Months Old

Sorry, not so creative with the titles. We just had our two month check up and little Georgia is 12 lbs. 13 oz. and 24 1/4 inches, 74th and 97th percentiles respectively. She is smiling more and more and slept 8 hours straight the past two nights, most likely because of her recent immunizations. The look on her face when that first needle went in... priceless! We both cried a bit but recovered quickly and were back to our busy schedule of eating, walks, stand-up exercises and sleeping. It isn't easy being a newborn!

We just bid farewell to my sister and our nephew/cousin Lyell. My sister did an amazing job summarizing their visit on her blog: http://themarcisfamily.blogspot.com. Hilarious!

Here are some other highlights from month #2:

Outgrowing her newborn clothes... the flying squirrel!
