All I want for Christmas is....

My two front teeth! Well, I think I'll at least have one!!!!

My mommy and daddy have been on the lookout for teeth. They just knew one would cut through any day. Well, it wasn't there Saturday night, and it wasn't there Sunday morning...but during choir practice yesterday afternoon (yes, I go to practice with mom and dad...and I try to sing too!) my mommy thought she saw something. So, she felt in there and sure enough...I cut my very first tooth!

Mommy says we'll try to get a picture when you can see just a little more of the tooth!

What an exciting weekend. I found my tongue...mommy found my tooth....

Love,
George

Do you have one of these?

Guess what I found?!?! This absolutely amazing "thing" in my mouth! It's great for sticking out and perfect for making rasberries. You can see the marvel of this new "toy" in the video below.

My mommy made the picture you see in the car just as we got home from daycare yesterday. It seems I discovered this new thing about 10 minutes before mommy came to get me. She said that I learned it from Hailey. She has the crib next to mine and she's been doing this same thing for about a little while now. Mommy and Daddy have been laughing so hard at me. I also got to hang out with Ms. Laura last night and she thought I was funny too.

Oh...and you'll love that in the video, Molly had to come check out was I was doing, too. I think she approves.

Love,

George

Woodstock Parade

I was in my first parade this weekend! How many 6 month old babies are IN the parade vs. watching it? I loved it! I strolled in my "decorated" stroller for part of the parade, then my daddy wanted to show me off, and I enjoyed the view! I have to tell you that it was VERY crowded. There were lots of people there. But, once they saw me, they were free to go home. No need to stay and see the "big guy" at the end of the parade. I was after all, the star of the whole thing. Here are some photos taken by my "official photographer." She's a band mom...so she snapped pictures of the band and some really great pictures of me.

Oh, and now that I'm an expert, I'm available for other parade appearances. Just call me.

Love,

George

Baptism

My baptism was this past Sunday at Sixes Presbyterian. I was very good and I didn't cry. I really like Pastor Tom. I tried to pull on his beard. Some of the pictures are blurry. My mommy and daddy forgot that the batteries were dead in our camera, so these were taken with a different camera and we move to fast for it!

Love,

Santa

I had a very busy Thanksgiving week. My daddy got to stay home with me all week. My mommy was there starting on Wednesday. But, I got to see her on Tuesday during the day. My daddy took me to the place where mommy works and I got to visit everyone while they had their holiday lunch. But, they wouldn't give ME any turkey! At least I got some sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving!

My mommy and daddy took me to see this guy last week. My mommy said that she really likes him, and as you can see...I do too. My mommy said she has always liked Santa a lot not only because he's magical, but she also loves him because he reminds her of someone that was very special to her.

As for the rest of the week...it was busy too! I got to see a lot of people on Sunday. They were all there to celebrate my baptism. How special. We'll post some pictures of that later!

Love,

George's new trick

This morning, while my mommy was getting ready for work and my daddy was watching the today show, I was playing in my crib. My mommy and daddy were listening to me talk on the monitor when mommy realized that the music on my rainforest "soother" was playing. She thought dad had snuck in there and turned it on...but he hadn't. So mommy came in to see me and sure enough, I had wiggled my way over to that side of the crib and turned it on myself. I just laughed at mommy. She thinks that it's hard to do...but I have her fooled.

Love,
George

Guess what I can do!

I can sit up all by myself! Well, I'll admit, I'm no expert - yet. I'm easily distracted and I can't seem to do it without perfect concentration, but I'm doing it! My mommy took me over to Miss Jamie's house to have dinner with her and Miss Kellie and "the crew." I was sitting in the floor with my mommy and she just backed away...and I had it! Mommy and Miss Jamie were so excited! But they soon saw that I can't sit up and laugh at the same time. And since I laugh a lot, it's a bit of a problem. I'm going to keep working on it. In the meantime, here's a picture of me sitting up.

Love,

George
