November 16, 2010 - Not-So-Fabulous Fits
With age comes independence. With independence, obviously comes the ability to throw really, REALLY big tantrums.
Georgia and I have been on a roll lately. As she starts to notice the signs that we'll be leaving the house soon - daycare for her and work for me - she screams and cries and rolls around on the ground and throws an all out fit. It's a sight to behold, let me tell you. How do kids learn this stuff?
I guess between the screams and kicks and cries and scratches, I can at least tell myself she does this because she doesn't want me to go to work. It might have to become my new chant.

November 15, 2010 - Not Many of These Left
Today was warm enough to take Georgia to the playground. It's November 15th... in Nebraska. This warm of a day is unheard of! There was still snow under the slides from the few inches that fell the other day, yet today we barely needed a jacket.
Notice I said "barely." Georgia still had to be bundled up.
Warm, maybe, but she still got to wear her new boots.

November 14, 2010 - You're Sticking That Thing Where?
Georgia spiked a fever today - 103.1!!! That's the highest temperature I've ever taken from her. Scared me enough to call the on-call nurse who told me not to worry unless it reaches 105. 105?!?! Are you serious?
She also told us to keep monitoring Georgia's temperature.
So here's my picture of the day. 'Nuf said.

November 13, 2010 - Georgia's Not the Only Lucky 13
Before we get to that number 13, today was our first snow of the season (yipee), and the first time Georgia has really "seen" snow. Sure, she saw it last year, but she was three and four months old. Now she can actually take notice of it.
Even if it was just a few inches this first time around.
So the 13. Not only is Georgia's birthday on the 13th, but so is mine. Today I added another year to my age, but what a year it's been!
And my husband and daughter served me breakfast in bed then had this beautiful cake for me before I had to go off to work.
And have I mentioned Georgia likes chocolate?
I think she was tickled she cleaned the plate... or maybe that she was allowed to eat off a plate instead of her high chair tray.
Oh but Georgia, just because the cake was on the plate, doesn't mean the plate will taste like chocolate too!

November 12, 2010 - The Presents Are Here!!
Almost one month to the day after Georgia's first birthday, her birthday presents have finally arrived. It's like a birthday all over again. Since her birthday was back home in Georgia, and we live in Nebraska, we were only able to bring a few presents home with us on the plane. The rest had to be shipped here.
After the boxes were opened, Georgia went straight to one of her favorite gifts... her rocking chair from her Papa (my dad).
But we need to work on her use of the rocking chair...
Now she's got it... sit don't stand. She won't remember it for long though.

November 11, 2010 - Real Kid Food
OK, so Georgia has been eating plenty of "kid" foods for months now, but today she had two that just scream "kid" to me. It's just so sweet to see, my little girl is... a little girl!
There was cherry jello:
And baby Goldfish:
And mommy liked sharing in these nostalgic foods right along with Georgia. Mmmm, jiggly jello! Read more...
