Library Party!

The library nearest to us has been under construction for the last year and a half. Last Saturday they had a grand opening party and Georgia was thrilled with the upstairs kid room.
They had an art project (completely not age-appropriate, but whatever) that had them painting cherry blossoms.

We got there early enough to have a seat, but by the time we left it was complete pandemonium.

G liked holding her cherry blossom. We checked out three books and I have had to argue with her about sleeping with them nearly every night since. The library book concept hasn't exactly lodged in her brain just yet.

Flo Turns 3

Flo's birthday party last weekend was quite a test for Georgia. She decorated a present and then had to give it to someone else. Here she is watching the birthday girl open it.

Then Georgia played with Flo's new modular dollhouse - supersmart for small spaces!

Upstairs the girls had a musical instrument party - a common occurrence around their house.

Explain this: how is it Flo's birthday...

...and yet Georgia's the one in the tiara?





Sophie slept through most of the event - as usual!

Sophie stretches

Self-explanatory.

Kind of reminds me of this.

Sophie and the Monkey, again

Here's a photo of Sophie with her monkey on January 22 - at exactly one month of age.

Here she is on March 7 - about six weeks after the photo above. In other words, she spent her winter weeks eating!

More of her growth spurt.

And a clothed version.

Fundraising with Violet & Calvin

Violet and her family hosted a hot-chocolate-and-cookie fundraiser for Rett Syndrome last weekend. Georgia was so excited to see Violet - she talked about her the whole day before we got there.

She also brought a strange assortment of toys - a plastic chicken leg (that she rarely removed from her mouth the whole time we were there...), the felt fireplace from the feltboard she got for her birthday, and one of mommy's beaded bracelets. Eventually, we just stopped asking why.

Violet's mom got G to smile at her camera - she's on strike with her own mom's camera, so I'm glad someone else got through.





Calvin and his friend Simran were so friendly and easily sold the great cookies and brownies.

3 Year Appointment

So it was actually three years and one month...and several days...but we made it there all the same. Georgia was a champ and Sophie watched from the sidelines.

Georgia weighs 33.2 lbs and is 37.5 inches tall. She has good blood pressure and enjoyed the paper gown very much.

Lucy and Georgia

The little ladies had lunch together today...then popsicles.

Blurry photos because I was holding Sophie and trying to use my camera phone with one hand and...

There was no fighting this time - a nice change as the girls have aged!
