Georgia Speaks: The Movie

Here is some random footage I shot of Georgia over the Thanksgiving weekend. I'm experimenting with the video embedding feature of this blog so please provide feedback on how it performs so I may adjust accordingly. Here you'll see a typical conversation between us and Georgia. She loves to talk while laying down and we usually get a bunch of smiles, but this conversation was more of a spat, most likely pertaining to her being hungry and having a camera shoved in her face instead of you-know-what!

Georgia Signs Modeling Contract!!!

We've been trying to postpone the inevitable, but much to our apprehension, Georgia has signed her first modeling contract. We're unable to disclose the terms of the deal, but People magazine has reported the figure to be in the 6-7 digit range and will include appearances at Nordstrom's, Macy's and the new Snoqualmie Casino. Also, it hasn't been confirmed, but rumors hint at an album including a duet with Hannah Montana! We're actually quite relieved as we were worried that she'd have to tour the pageant circuit for a while before hitting the runway. Now, all we have to worry about is trying to find black stilettos in a size 1! Here you'll see her modeling REI's Winter '08 'Little Miss' collection. See how she works the camera with that seductive stare. I think its going to be her signature look!

Madsen Costume Party

Here we are all dolled up for the big night at the Madsen's house for their costume party. I'll spare everyone the suspense by saying that I'm Johnny Cash, Julie is Little Red Riding Hood and Georgia is decorated in a pumpkin laden onesy. I even found a real pair of black cowboy boots and a hat at Value Village for only $15 and they were in my size and the only pair. I guess you really can't take the country out of the boy. Anyways, we had a lot of fun and there were some very creative costumes and spooky food (the spider-covered devilled eggs were especially scary).

Mystery Solved

The debate is finally over and this picture is the proof. Georgia officially takes after her Dad. This fact is even more obvious when we attempt to watch anything on the TV. It's a riot watching her squirm and wriggle her neck in a zealous effort to get a glimpse of what's on. Looks like I'm going to have to start reading again. I hope it hasn't changed much since High School.

Georgia Continues to Take Shape

Georgia continues her development through a self-motivated regiment of diet and exercise. We hadn't noticed until recently that Georgia has took it upon herself to get in shape by eating well and working out. To assist her in this crusade she has instituted a regular regiment of 'Five-Finger' sandwiches (in addition to her steady diet of free-range breast milk) and twice-a-day work-outs on her exercise mat. Pictured below you can see her knocking out some leg lifts which I can only imagine was a result of our leaving the Palates DVD playing during a restroom break. All kidding aside, the 'Five-Finger' sandwiches are actually Georgia's way of working out her gag reflexes and the exercise is real, but its what we've come to label as 'tummy time'. This is when we put her on her stomach and encourage her to work out those neck muscles. She's been quite successful from an early age - relatively speaking. Dad tried taking her on one of his bike rides, but she couldn't keep up on the hilly stretches so we'll stick to the 'tummy time' for now.
