Being a Baby

I realized the other day that I am kindof pushing, assuming, and hoping for Georgie to do many of his milestones early. I just assume he's ahead, and strong, and smart. I do think it's good to label your kids positively, but I'm realizing I need to just let him be a baby! He's just as God created him and I don't ever want him to feel pressure from me to perform higher than average. He's absolutely perfect the way he is, no matter what that WAY is! I love you peanut!

Things

I love his facial expressions when he drinks a bottle. It's SO cute. He acts surprised at first and then subsequently raises and lowers his eyebrows like he doesn't know what to think of this strange contraption with mom's milk coming out!

Also, he's starting to lose that cute little wrinkle he's had since birth that's at the too if his nose (horizontally) between his eyes. It was so cute but now he's filling out! At least he still has the cute bags under his eyes!

A Few Things

Georgie is starting to look mire like a baby rather than a newborn. It's crazy how fast he's growing, yet since I'm around him almost every waking moment, I don't notice it until I take a step back or look at pictures.

Also, we started a new schedule based on the book I've been reading, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. I am being more strict than u ever have been, and really trying to be consistent and persistent. I'll let you know how it goes. Its been PRETTY good so far - but last evening was a big crying Fest. It often gets worse before it gets better!

First Hike

Georgie went on his first hike today with his little friend Arabelle (two weeks younger) and her mom Klover, and aunt Janae! We went to Tabaguache. I wasn't QUITE as out of shape as I thought, but still not IN shape! I went ahead and put him in the front carrier facing OUT, even though you're not supposed to do that until they're three months. He just hates it when I've tried it around the house a few times, facing in. And, BREAKTHROUGH! He liked it! He hardly cried, and even slept on some of the hike! It was a beautiful day!

My Love

Sometimes I feel like I can't express to him just how much I love him. I can tell him and repeat it over and over, and squeeze him and hug him, but it's still not enough to communicate to him just HOW MUCH I love him. This especially goes when he's in pain. I understand the Lord's love for me a LITTLE more.

Favorite Parts

I LOVE Georgie's forearms. I could just squeeze them all the time! They're so little (like 4 inches!) and soft! Same goes for his calves and thighs! And ALL his skin is sooooo soft I just want to rub it all day!

Hair

My little sweet par was born with hair (not a ton, but a fair amount). You'll see it in his newborn pics. Then he had pretty bad cradle cap (basically dandruff) - his head peeled like crazy (as did his skin all over his face and body). I was always peeling skin off his face. This is normal and common. Then one day Ted commented that he was nearly bald. I hadn't even noticed because it was so gradual, but he was!!!! But he still had it on the back - like male pattern baldness - hilarious!! I think it fell out when the skin peeled off! So now it's starting to grow back. It's been this cute little peach fuzz, and this morning it looks a little longer even. Cutie Patootie!!

This Just In! Blogging from IPhone

I finally downloaded an app that enables me to blog from my phone! I of course can't write long posts (well, I don't have the patience), but I'm going to try to not be so thorough, so if I have a thought or experience with Georgie that I wanna quickly document, I'll write it here. I can also put photos from my phone here easily. Yay!
