Ohhhh Georgieeeee....

Naps are overlapping right now! Let me tell you some more about our little monkey. It blows my mind that he's 6 months old in just a few days! This morning I peeked at him in the play room and he was just holding onto the toy basket... standing. My mama heart is simultaneously proud and apprehensive and exhausted. He has no idea that he's a baby. He can already get anywhere he wants to go and he's getting faster by the minute. We gave him some banana last night and it went over well. I could almost hear him saying, "It's about time you let me eat dinner with you guys." Grandma brought him a johnny jump-up when she came to visit. He absolutely loves it! (Jack loves it too...) We also just got him a convertible carseat. He's able to see Jack and see out the window now which has helped some with the fussiness. Speaking of volume, he's babbling more and more as well. He loves to be talked to, especially by his big brother. My favorite thing is just staring into his beautiful blue eyes and chatting. He likes to grab my face with his strong little pinching hands and chatter away. It's the sweetest ever. I took the boys to story time at a local library yesterday. I was so surprised to see how much Georgie enjoyed it! He crawled over to the alphabet rug and sat with all the big kids then played with all the toys at the end. Georgie Cooper, we think you're pretty great! Happy 6 months!

Hey again! I have a quick second so I thought I'd post a few more pictures of life lately. About a month and a half ago we took a trip to Boone, NC. It was a great weekend away and we made lots of memories. Jack still talks about the Blue Ridge Parkway. "Yay hikin'!" he says. We walked along the ridge of Grandfather Mountain, hiked, saw bears, bald eagles, jumping fish, diggers, and drank lots of coffee (as always).

So........ Our sweet Georgie will be 6 months old in 10 days. It goes without saying that life has been crazy. Since the idea of starting where I left off seems daunting, I'll just start from where we are. The past couple of days he's been gaining confidence and can officially sit up on his own. Today he's mixing some legitimate crawling into his scootches. He can definitely get anywhere he wants to go. He's one happy baby most of the time. The carseat is his least favorite place. He makes all sorts of sweet noises and has the fluffiest, most delicious cheeks. He's a decent sleeper and a great eater. For now he's nursing well and I imagine there will be no stopping him once we introduce "real food."

The boys are crazy about each other. It's been so awesome to see them interact. Lots of kisses and wrestles and toy sharing and stealing! Jack's vocabulary has really taken off. He has started going to a PMO program twice a week. I cannot believe he's that big! He loves his teachers and just walks right in with his little raccoon backpack. (He even peed in the potty there today!) He's basically a teenager.

I finished up the boys' Halloween costumes today. We're going to have Curious George and the Daddy with the yellow hat and Jackosaurus Rex. There's going to be lots of cute over here.

Sarah-Kathryn was here for a visit recently. She took care of Jack so J and I could have a weekend away. I think Georgie loved having all our attention. Mom and Dad just left on Tuesday. We had a great time and both boys enjoyed all the Grandma and Grandpa cuddles.
