Dear Santa,

I don't know who you are, or why your reindeer friends fly, and I don't want to get into the personal stuff about where you live and what size your Santa suit is because I find that a bit rude. BUT, I do want to thank you for the teethers you left in my stocking - they are already very helpful. I think I'm sprouting a tooth, and I'm drooling all over the place. Mom calls them "Drool Bombs". But anyway....

Sadie said you like wearing big red furry hats. I like hats too. Check out this rockin' one my Uncle Bryce sent me. I think it's stylin'! (This is my ponderous model look...)

And I even got some organic toys. My lamby blankie is soft and environmentally friendly. That makes me happy. And it catches my drool bombs.

And thanks for the big stuffed pink teddy bear, Santa! It's as big as me, so when I'm not using my car seat or my pod, she sits in it. I haven't named her yet.

Yes, she is my first teddy bear.

And speaking of bears, after we opened presents, we went over to Nana and Poppy's. I wore my bear suit that makes me look like an Ewok from Star Wars.

Do you like my bear feet? Get it? BEAR FEET. *giggle*

Love,

Georgie Bee

I Don't Know What Fraggles Are....

... but I love this song! I stop what I'm doing when I hear it.



It makes me happy and in the holiday spirit.

I'm a People Person....

My big sister Sadie had her preschool Christmas pageant on Friday, and then they had a party. It was kind of like a meet n' greet, so Sadie introduced me to some of her classmates. I met Lucie, and Katie, and a nice girl named Lauren. I even met someone younger than me. His name is Owen. This is me hanging out with everyone while they ate cookies and punch. I had milk.

Sadie really has a thing for Chocolate Chip Cookies... and tiny cupcakes.

But I've been sticking to milk lately. Teething has been getting me down. I drool a lot, and to be honest, it hurts. Even if I use a frozen pacifier or that icky tasting Baby Orajel.

But I've heard of this guy named Santa, and that he likes to give kids like me presents. So, I'd like teething to go a little faster.... and a few books. Sadie said books are awesome, so I'm going on her recommendation.

 

And hats. I like hats. Especially ones with letters on them.

Yeah, I look a lot like my dad.

This is me and my dad. He does my hair. Get it? He does my hair? Baldies unite!

Actually, when you see my hair in natural light, it's really RED. This means I got Mom's hair. She said there needs to be more redheads in the world.

I've been having an interesting month. It's been very busy, and Mom has been home a lot more than she had planned. I guess she got back from maternity leave and four days later, she was laid off. She's really mad, but we are making the most of our time together. She's been looking for jobs while I nap.

Mom and Dad put up a tree and put lights on it, and the house smells like cinnamon. I'm still into milk, but maybe someday I'll add cinnamon to my milk. It smells lovely in here. It makes me smile. I smile a lot actually. I just can't help it. I'm just a really, really happy kid. Actually, let me send a smile out to you.

And.... KAPOW!!!! I'm sending virtual happiness. Can you feel it? 



My Big Sister Is Smart....

She was the one who started all the blogging stuff. But she's a very opinionated person. Trust me.... sometimes it's all about Sadie. But she wanted to help me express my feelings. I'm a bit quiet and mellow. I don't yell much. Don't really need to since Mom and Dad take care of my needs. I'm hungry, they feed me. My diaper needs a change, they do it. I just chill out a lot. Which makes me think the Trouble Maker mug on the shelf behind me isn't Mommy's. It's Sadie's.

 But Sadie has been helping me with my blog. She asks me questions. Then she types. (She prefers writing in her Elmo pajamas.)

 

I think she even knows a little HTML.

But she definitely gets lost in her thoughts a lot. We all appreciate those quiet times.

Why Am I Dressed Like a Pumpkin?

... seriously... Why? Usually I wear pink onesies, or something with polka dots or flowers or something that says "I Love Mommy." I am confused (as you can see in this photo.)

And Mom hasn't explained it to me. But I do like my hat. It was made by Mommy's college friend, Miss Maureen. I've been told to also wear it for Syracuse University football games - since it also doubles for an orange. So, uh, GO ORANGE!

Rough Morning...

I coughed, hiccupped and farted at the same time. Even worse, right after that I sneezed and milk came out of my nose. I can assure you I was more surprised than my mom was.

*sigh*

I'm going to take a nap.

I don't know who Phish is...

... but I like my new hat. It's pretty funky. I guess Sadie kind of likes them because she was using Mommy's hairbrush to rock out to them. I overheard Mom saying that Uncle Eric and Uncle Bryce are big fans. I haven't met them yet, but they sound like really nice people. It was Uncle Eric who sent me this cool hat.

Three things I've learned over the past 2 months....

A. People like it when I smile.

B. It's okay to be silly.

C. There's a lot of surprising things in this world. Like Daddy's singing. That's, um, very surprising. And when Mommy wakes up first thing in the morning. This is me thinking, "You are going to wear THAT? Really? Are you sure?"

But I haven't found the words yet.

I might not have hair...

... but I'm considering certain looks for when I DO have hair. Sadie showed me Mom's iPhone and we played with an app to give me a makeover. This is what we came up with....

This is if I have Mom's hair color. I guess Dad had really straight hair before he went for the baldy look.

And this is if I grow it long, and have some Dad's hair color...

And this is if I choose to be a little more creative. I like this one.

It's almost the end of September already?

Hiya! I thought you might like an update on my busy month...

I'm over 6 weeks old now, and I went to see Dr. Sherri. She said I'm in the 95th percentile for height, just like my sister! We're both pretty tall for our age. Mom was surprised because that meant that I'm growing quickly out of my panda sleeper outfit already and I eat like a trucker.  

It was a sunny month too. So I put on some shades one Friday and chilled out. See my onesie? Yeah, Daddy does my hair. Sadie said he did her hair too. She said she didn't have any even on her 1st birthday. The little bit that I do have is really red. That makes Mommy happy because she said, "We need to populate the world with redheads." Sure, whatever. I'm cool with that.

Ooooooh... and you know what I'm really excited about? Sadie also told me that Halloween is coming, and that means we all dress up silly and eat candy. I don't know what candy is but, it sounds really yummy.

I've been thinking about stuff....

It's been a busy month, so I haven't written much. I've been eating, looking at stuff, and sleeping a lot. I'm just taking it all in. People like saying hi to me... even people Mom and Dad don't even know. We were walking through the mall, and total strangers say comments like, "Wow! She's little!" I'm the right size for my age, but I guess people don't see a lot of newbies very often. Sadie has been wearing a t-shirt that says, "I'm the Big Sister!" I hope I'm not stealing her thunder. Actually, it's kind of hard to ignore Sadie.

Sadie has been a good big sister so far. She always says, "Hi Georgie!" when she comes home. And she holds my hand sometimes. She also asks to hold me sometimes. And she sometimes kisses me. She's pretty cool.

And something else I've noticed: Mom and Dad have a lot of books. I don't know how to read yet, but the books are lots of different colors, so I stare at the bookshelves a lot.

Dear Uncle Bryce...

We haven't met yet, but my Mom said that it was your birthday on August 27th. But she said you were born a long time ago. So.... this is all I have to say about that....

(I'm just kiddin'! Sort of....)
Happy Birthday!!!

I would like to clarify...

... that this photo is a bit misleading. My feet aren't nearly this big. They are actually quite small and cute.

That is all.

Whoa... this is an interesting place...

I'm new. And I've been looking around when I'm not eating or sleeping... and I'm fascinated by stuff. I mean, I look around and I see pink flowers, pink blankies, and it's usually kind of loud in our house -- mostly because of Sadie. She's really loud. I mean, she's nice and I sleep through it. But sometimes when she doesn't get her way, she's REALLY loud. That's when I get this look on my face.

Wow. That girl has pipes.

Hi. I'm new here.

My name is Georgina, but you can call me Georgie. I was born a few days ago, but my big sister Sadie said that blogging is a fun way to learn about the world around me. She says she's my "Editor".

It's been an interesting couple of days. There were lots of nice ladies at the hospital who took care of me, and a lot of really loud little kids like me in the nursery. My Mom smells nice, and sometimes I look at her and we just kinda smile at each other.

I haven't been able to see my Daddy much because he was taking care of my big sister Sadie. Sadie says hi to me sometimes and other times she would rather watch a Berenstein Bears DVD or play with Mommy's iPhone. But Daddy and I are getting to know each other since Mommy seems really tired. I think being born took a lot out of both of us.

I guess people really like to hear some of the details, but in a nutshell... I was born on August 12th, and it was a really rainy day. There's a longer story here. But I'll get into that later.

So, that's my first post. So, uhhh, hi! I'm Georgie. I'll be blogging here for awhile. I can't wait to meet you in person someday. Until then, you can laugh at my sleeping picture here. Can't seem to keep my eyes open lately....

Coming Soon....

Due Date:

August 18, 2010
