Grandma Feeds Georgia

Georgia has started taking from the bottle and, as luck would have it, Grandma got to administer the daily dose during her last visit. As you can see, its quite a bit of fun, but beware when you run out 'cause she'll be wanting more in a hurry. She's become quite the eater. But with all this consumptive success comes the downside...more product returns in the form of spit up. This would explain why if any of you see me more than once in a day, I'll be wearing a different shirt each encounter. Apparently dad hasn't learned that spit up is non-ddiscriminatory when it comes to clothing. By the way, for those of you not in the know, the "Boppy Pillow" - pictured here - was the single most useful tool ever invented for parents. On the contrary, its the single least liked invention by all chiropractors.

Georgia Smiles (kinda)

For all of you who haven't heard, Georgia has started smiling (sort of). It's not ear to ear yet, but its still pretty darn cute. Her best grins are in the morning so sadly dad doesn't get to see them, but he gives it his best shot in the evening! Georgia is now approx 8 1/2 lbs and growing which has started to show as she is becoming chubbier by the day. Everything else is great and Mom has started attending the "1st Weeks" class available for all new moms to have a support network. They discuss everything from feeding techniques to the best places for diapers and its a great place to learn from others as well as dawn a bit of your own wisdom. That's all for now, but please follow the slide show links to view our photo albums.

Georgia's First Days

Here is one of the first photos of the new family. We had a wonderful and exhausting experience through labor and the birth (refer to "birth story"). Ballard Swedish is truly an awesome place to have a kid. The nurses were all helpful and very involved, even to the extent of filling in for baby sitting duties whenever needed. In fact, the beanie Georgia is wearing in this picture was a gift from the nursing staff. That being said, it was a long and foreign road home from the hospital and we were on our own.
