Picture Perfect

I wanted to take the girls picture for our holiday cards. I thought that it would be such a cute idea to get all three of them together in one photo. I actually had a photographer friend take their photos but she was not able to get them all in one shot. She was able to get cute ones of the three of them individually but not all together.

Of course, I thought that I could do it - I could get all three of them to sit still long enough for me to take their picture. So, yesterday, I got them all dressed up in their CHristmas dresses again, brushed their hair, begged them to keep the bow in their hair, prayed that their dresses did not get too wrinkled, took all three outside, chased them around in the yard, fought off mosquitoes, got them to sit down on the red blanket, and took 3 pictures before I figured it was hopeless.

On the last shot, Giuliana had run off to see how she looked in the camera. She has figured out that once she gets her picture taken, she can see it inside of the camera. So, she always runs over to me to look at her picture once it has been taken. Such a showoff.

Georgie's 2 month Dr. Apt

Although you can't tell in this picture, she loved looking at herself in the mirror.

My happy baby - she is so sweet!

So this time, I made sure that the camera was in my purse before we went to the Dr.

Georgina did as well as can be expected at the Dr. office. We had to wait quite a bit before we saw the Dr. so she was a bit restless. As soon as we were in the room, I was able to nurse her and she was as happy as can be - until she got her vaccines.

Her stats:

Head - 15' - 30%

Height - 21.25 - 10%

Weight - 9lbs 11.5 oz (although we cheated a bit since she was nursed before she was weighed - which is their fault for having us wait forever) 25%

She is definitely growing - and is on the charts - she apparently was not even on the chart on her last visit.

Georgina loves to laugh and smile, she loves being in her stroller and going on a walk, she loves being held and rocked to sleep. She also loves to listen to her sisters scream and yell - in fact, she will not sleep if her sisters are around - prefers to stay up and listen to them.

My sweet little is also sleeping so much better at night. She will sleep up between 5-7 hours - she usually will fall asleep between 9-10:00, wake up at about 2:30 - 3 nurse, and then sleep until almost 7:00. We are all getting so much more sleep!

Halloween

Halloween was such a beautiful and busy day. We started the day by going to our neighbor's birthday party. Then, we went to the air show on Ellington Field. Michael's company had sponsored a tent so we all needed to make an appearance. In the above picture, Giuliana is looking at the Pearl Harbor reenactment. The air show was fun but so loud - signs were posted all over to warn people to wear the earplugs. Of course, my girls would not wear them so Michael and I ended up covering their ears each time a plane flew over us!

My little fairies ready to go trick or treating - we are on our way to my brother's house. I had put Giuliana's wings on upside down!

Later, Nonno and Nonna dropped by to see the girls.

My sweet Georgie - she stayed a home!
