Santa Parade Part 2

Only in Newburyport does Santa arrive to the parade by boat! Mr. and Mrs. Claus get escorted in to town by the Coast Guard.

Georgia and Mitch wait patiently for Santa. The patient part may have been helped along by a chocolate chip cookie.

The happy couple parade around the block before coming back to light the town tree.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a great Thankgiving relaxing with family and eating a delicious meal. Well, the adults and P did. P enjoyed some turkey, mashed potatoes, a roll, and green beans. Georgia, our little vegetarian, opted for peanut butter and jelly instead! She did, however, partake in dessert and some yummy brownie pie!
This was the outfit Georgia chose for herself....it got the big ix-nay.

The table set and ready for the bounty.

Oh my Penelope!

P loves her Uncle Erich!

The desserts...delicious!

The Gingerbread House

We went to the Haverhill Santa Day Parade on Sunday. Kristen and Brendan had a great party before and after the parade. Before we left, Georgia got the chance to work on her first ever gingerbread house. She had so much fun putting on the candy and frosting. Grampa Jack and Grammy Kelsa got in on it too. Poor P wanted to but was sadly left out this year...

Santa Parade

We had a great time with friends and family catching candy, watching bands, clapping with the dancers, and seeing great floats. We missed Santa due to a tired Georgia and the need for a potty break. Luckily next weekend he is visiting our town!

The Doctor is In

The Fairy Princess Pediatrician Ballerina that is....
First you must look in the ears.

Then you must rule out a coarcation of the aorta by doing four point/extremity blood pressures.

Make sure you rid the syringe of bubbles before administering a shot.

And when all else fails, amputate a limb.

Multitasking

Eating while feeding your baby.

A Born Performer

Again, I was "forced" to video tape another Georgia Cobb Dance Party. And again, the outfits, music, and moves were all chosen by the Princess Ballerina.

Fall

I love the purple cabbage and orange flower combination. I have to use this in the house somehow...but where?????

Playground: Take 3

More playground pictures. I am obsessed with my new camera lens. I apologize.

Playground: Take 2

We met up again with Deb and family to head out to a playground and get rid of that Monday afternoon energy. I used this again as an opportunity to play with my new camera lens. So much fun! And if you are thinking it looks dark in the background of some of the pictures...then you would be right. Sadly, it was only 4 pm!
Georgia and Mitch released and ready to go.

Favorites

Here are some favorite picture I took this week of the family. Nothing exciting but just cute little moments of us being us.

Yummy in my Tummy!

P no longer wants purees. This girl knows what she wants and that is what WE have. No more purees for her (they lasted all of 3-4 days anyways, so no biggie). This weekends adventure included sweet potato fries and pumpkin pancakes. YUMMY! Just to note...P is on 2 folded up blankets just to make her high enough so that she can REACH the food!

Head over Heels

I am so smitten with this girl. Maybe not so much with the black tipped, red haired Rooster Mohawk/Mullet.

Funny Gal

Two funny Georgia quotes for the day:

We were sitting the in the living room. Georgia looks at me and in a very serious tone asks, "Why do chickens sit on their eggs?" I responded that they sit on the eggs to keep the eggs warm, thinking this was going to be a serious conversation. Laughing, she replied "No, because they don't have any chairs".

Later on today we had this conversation, out of the blue, in the car.

Georgia: Hey Mom. I want to have Bubba for dinner.
Me: What is bubba?
Georgia: Ram Sam Sam's friend (Ram Sam Sam is Georgia's imaginary friend). We are going to cook her and eat her. And I want raviolis on the side.
Me: Are you sure you don't want a chianti and fava beans.

About 5 mintues later....
Georgia: I was just kidding about Bubba. We aren't going to eat her.
Me: Oh, good. I was scared.

Baby

Georgia has take up residence in Lil P's carseat when unoccupied. She thinks it is funny. Unfortunately, she still technically fits the weigh upper limit of 30 lbs!

New Obsessions

Georgia has two new obsessions.....
1. Puzzles. Especially this princess puzzle. We have done it about a billion gazillion times since purchasing it yesterday

2. Her new kicks. We are both loving the pink shiny Chucks!

Hand Me Ups

Georgia got some great hand-me-ups from her younger (but slightly bigger) cousin Mya. Georgia especially loves this new dress! Thanks Mya!

Poor P

Well, swine flu Sally was able to pass her germs on to someone else...our Poor Lil P! I hate sick babies and Lil P just broke my heart. We ended up taking her into see her doctor because she was having a hard time breathing, especially when she was coughing. Through the whole illness, she was such a trooper. She spent a whole day sleeping on my chest (literally, she was awake for less than 30 minutes during a 36 hour period), feeding, and doing her nebulizer treatments. She luckily recovered faster than Georgia and was quickly back in good spirits!

Happy Fake Thanksgiving

We headed up to Vermont again for Fake Thanksgiving (and a smattering of Real Halloween). We had a great time visiting with family. We trick or treated around the Inn in our costumes. Even the adults got dressed up and enjoyed the fun! We enjoyed lots of great food including the traditional Tur-Duck-Hen dinner! Georgia had a great time playing with Mya and her friends and can't wait to go back next year.
P loved Uncle David's beard.

Mya swinging happily on a beautiful, warm fall day!

How many kids fit in the car? Made for one but fits four little blondies!
