Recent happenings around our house

Katie Jo helped me give Georgia a bath the other nite. She is such a good big sister. She loved pouring the water over her and watching her splash around. She has definitely become more aware of Georgia's existence in our house and the fact that she isn't going anywhere. Fortunately she likes her because she likes to give her "big hug" which means squeezing a little too tight and "little hug" which is a little more gentle. She also recognizes that Georgia is a "little girl" or "little baby" and she is a "big girl." The later is how she has been referring to herself lately. Her vocabulary is expanding daily so that I can't even keep up now. She is starting to communicate in broken sentences which is so weird since it feels like she just started really talking a couple of months ago. Today I asked her what she wanted for a snack and she said "cheese." I asked her if she wanted anything else and she said as clear as a bell "goldfish." Georgia, like Katie Jo, loves staring at herself in the mirror. Please ignore the ragged wallpaper in the background. That'll be a whole other post!
There are really no words for this picture. It just speaks for itself.
If you ever wonder how we spend our days the below picture will pretty much spell it out for you. It the temp ever dips below 100 we might actually venture outside.
This is how I found my husband and littlest child the other nite.
Katie Jo loves for me to lay down a blanket so she can line up little toys for Georgia to look at. Georgia doesn't seem to mind and actually is starting to take notice of Katie Jo.

Just wait till Georgia starts "playing" back with Katie Jo. Your heart will melt!
By the way, let me know next time you are in town. For the past 3 days Caroline has been saying, "Go to Katie Jo's house?" She can't wait to get together to play! :-)
