Georgina 15 months

Georgina has been growing up so fast that it seems like she learns something brand new every single day.

She wants so badly to be just like her sisters - she truly believes that she is almost three. She climbs on top of just about everything and has so fear!

Georgina is also beginning to speak - her first words besides Mama was YAY!
She can also say Jacket (ca-ca), shoes (ca-ca) - tree (she just learned that one since it is Christmas), no, and yes.

She can also follow directions - if I ask her to go get a diaper she runs over and grabs one out of the diaper drawer and hands it to me -

My only wish is that she does not grow up too fast - after all, she is my baby.

Happy Halloween!

Costumes:

Nonna and Nonno took the girls to pick out their costumes for Halloween. The grandparents came to pick up the girls and took them both to the Disney Store since both G's love princesses.

According to Nonna, Giuliana walked in and knew that she wanted to dress as Tinker Bell. Gisella, on the other hand took a little bit longer to decide. Finally, she decided on Ariel (I think that she picked Ariel because Ariel's dress is kind of blue and has blue accesories - and she loves everything and anything that is blue).

A little bit before Halloween, Gisella decided that she did not want to wear the Ariel dress - apparently it 'hurt' (itched) her. Luckily, I had some extra play dresses for them and she was happy to wear her blue one - which is apparently a lot more comfortable.

Georgina was a little fairy and had no problem wearing the wings that went with her costume. Once all three were dressed, Gisella noticed that Giuliana and Georgie's costume had wings and therefore decided that she wanted wings also. Luckily, I had an extra set from last year.

In the end, Georgina was a fairy, Giuliana was Tinker Bell and Gisella was a princess with a blue dress, Ariel crown, Ariel shoes, and pink fairy wings.

Trick or treating:
This year, since we are living in the condo - and of course no trick or treating here - we decided to go trick or treating in my in-laws neighborhood.

We trick or treated at about four different houses and that was enough for the girls. It is a lot of work walking around as princesses and fairies!

Afterwards, we went back to Mimi and Grandpapi's house where the girls enjoyed giving out candy and looking at all of the different costumes.

This is the house we used to live in . . .

This is the place we once called home.

Today, part of our house was demoed. Tomorrow, the rest will go down.

Michael was there today to take pictures of it for us. The girls and I did not attend - Michael and I felt that it may have been a bit too emotional for the girls to see their house go down.

Good Bye house - thank you for the memories.

Demo Party

This past weekend, we invited the neighborhood kids over to the house and paint on our walls before we demoed our house.

The kids painted on our walls with kid paint, finger paint, crayons, and chalk. By the end, all the paint was gone and the kids were filthy.

But look at how creative everyone was!

Greek Fest

Last weekend, the weather was so gorgeous, we decided to take the girls to the Annual Greek Fest for some Greek food and entertainenment. Unfortunately, half the city of Houston was also there and it was very crowded!

We had gotten there early - right after naps, but there were still long lines for food and drinks. After eating a few kabobs, we took the girls to the kiddie center where there were moonwalks, bouncies, and slides. The girls went up and down on the slides and had so much fun.

We left shortly afterwards since we were still hungry and the lines had only gotten longer - Gisella especially had a hard time leaving -

After we left, Michael and I remembered how just a few years ago, the crowds would not have scared us off, in fact - the more the merrier! Having kids has changed everything -

New Beds . . . again

Last week we had to get the twins new beds.

We had originally converted their cribs into toddler beds but the girls quickly learned that they could climb on top of the headboards and jump off.

Once Giuliana got a huge goose egg on her forehead, we decided that it was time to get them new beds.

No more jumping off headboards - well, at least for now!

and GP too!

The girls like to eat their meals on their plastic picnic table. I think that it works well for them -

Georgie usually eats her meals in her highchair - but she always looks down at her sisters wanting to join them. Well, today little GP (Georgie Pie) sat down on their table and joined her sisters for lunch! She was so happy to be a big girl too!
