The Colonel and Grammy

I had a lovely weekend. Perhaps not so lovely for my mommy. She's been a bit under the weather. That explains my delay in posting. You see, I'm pretty smart, but I don't type. I can only dictate. Anyway, the Colonel and my Grammy came to help look after me AND my mommy Thursday night and stayed through Sunday. My mommy and daddy were so grateful! I, personally, just thought it was wonderful to play with them. Oh, and you should have seen the diaper I made for them first thing on Friday. I had to make sure they were up for the job. They passed.

I'm sad that they have gone home, but my mommy is on the mend and my daddy has even managed to get a little shut eye. Thank you Grammy and Colonel!!! I love you!

Love,

George

Here are some pictures from the weekend. (Oh, and my grandparents aren't really into dressing alike. These pictures were actually taken on different days. But isn't it kind of funny?) I've also included one of Anne. Now she's REALLY funny. Any dog that chills out like this is silly. I like her, even if Emma and Molly won't usually let her too close to me. I did get a kiss on the foot from her!

Atlanta Botanical Gardens

What a fun Saturday! My mommy and daddy took me to visit the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and I loved it! (I think mom and dad had a pretty good time too.) I saw so many interesting things and really had a lot to study and learn about. Here are some pictures from our day.

Pictures with my "folks" in the orchid garden.


More pictures of me enjoying and studying the orchids....one of my favorite parts of the gardens.


Checking out the water garden with dad.


Great photo opportunities with mom and dad.


Priceless...look at that smile!


Worn out after a long day. This was taken in the Childen's gardens. I'll have to go back to see that part. Oh...and my dad says I look like I'm ready to start conducting something. What do you think?

My first game of tag!

My mommy said she didn't know you could play tag in the blogging world, but I guess you can! (See fotographie femme's blog) Actually my mom was tagged, but since I'm the one doing all the blogging around here...I get to play, too.

The idea is to write something about me for each letter of my name. So here's mine...

G - God's child.
E - Excited about the world around me. I like to study my surroundings. I put on a very serious face and when I think I've figured it out...then I usually give a big smile.
O - Original...no one else like me. My mommy and daddy say that makes me their special gift.
R - Ready! I'm ready to stand, ready to walk, ready to talk. I just haven't quite figured it out yet. I have very strong legs and I have liked to "stand" on them before I was even two months old. And I babble and babble to people. I wonder if they understand anything I'm telling them about the world around me?
G - Giggles...I love to giggle! I love to make others giggle!
E - Enourmous! I'm a very big boy now. If you haven't held me lately, you should look into some weight training before you see me again. I was 16 lbs. 4 oz. at the doctor last week!

But, to be fair, here's my mommy.

L - Learning. I'm learning something new everyday in this adventure of motherhood.
I - Idle...I'm not. I'm not very good at just sitting still and doing nothing. I'm well known around our house for getting cabin fever and saying...we have to get out of here!!!
B - Big...I've felt this way since, well, about last March. :-)
B - Busy! I have more to do everyday than I ever feel I can complete. I'm learning to make myself enjoy this time and leave work and the laundry for tomorrow. (This has been great for my "non-idle" side)
Y - Young. I may be 30...but I will always be young at heart. (and might I add...younger than Bob!)

Ok...the tagging thing. I don't really have anyone I can tag. I mean, there's Jim and Shrestha, but I think what I'm going to do with this tagging is put a tag out there for more of my friends to start their own blogs. We would love to see what all of you are up to!

Love,
George and Libby

Mmmmm....cereal!

How fabulous is real food? Well, ok, it's still just baby cereal...but it's not that plain old boring milk I've been drinking for months! I know, you're thinking..."But George...we thought you loved your milk?" And I still do! But, I have to admit that I was getting a little bored with the same old routine. I think that you grown up people have been holding out on me. I've seen you eating that yummy smelling stuff. I want some of that now! But, mommy and daddy say I have to work my way up to it. Anyway, here's a video of me eating my first solid food!

Exersaucer

My daddy put together my exersaucer on Saturday. It's my new favorite thing. I like to sit in it and play with all the toys. I like it because I can be "independent." I like to push up and stand and look around when people hold me, so this little device is just my sort of thing. My mommy and daddy say that I'm just growing too fast. Anyway, here are some pictures. As you can see...I'm working on my Vegas skills....trying to get three bunnies in a row. You can also see that my sisters were enjoying play time too. My mommy said that if you want to see a couple of videos of me in my new exersaucer, click on the link below to George's videos.

Need a smile?

These were taken about two weeks ago, but we never put them on the blog. I thought Saturday might be a good day for a couple of smiles...

What channel is the baby network?

Here I am kicked back on the bed in a cute outfit my cousin Brian gave me. I'm not real sure about the hat though. My mom and dad seemed to become hysterical the minute they put it on me. I heard some comments like...chubby cheeks...chunky monkey....

I think they were laughing at me. What do you think? Does the hat make me look fat? I eventually cried and got it taken off this time.

Love,

George

Engagement Ceremony

Today was the engagement ceremony for uncle Jim and Shrestha. I had a great time. I didn't really see that much of my mommy and daddy...I was passed all around! I snoozed for most of the time, but I'm still exhausted. It was a big day!

Love,

George

Hanging out on a Saturday afternoon

It has been a very busy weekend! I spent yesterday hanging out at the Colonel's and Grammy's house. We came for the weekend for my uncle Jim and soon to be aunt Shrestha's engagement ceremony. My granddaddy and grandma Joyce came by the house and had a nice visit too. Here are some pictures from Saturday. Look how happy I was to swing! My cousin Abigail sent some things to the Colonel's house for me to play with. She's too big for them now. My mommy and daddy said it's nice not to have to drag stuff around for me all the time!

Love,

George
