SEC Letdown

Well I wasn't sure if I would find time this weekend to post about our trip to Nashville for the SEC tournament. HA! I have found time considering we are sitting at home :(. Mamaw got us the whole book of tickets but since UK got knocked out in the first game, we decided to watch the rest from home. 

We went down Friday for both sessions. It was just Marcus and me (Grandma and Grandpa kept GGH for us-thank you!) and we had plans to bring Georgia Saturday and then stay all night for the championship game Sunday. Unfortunately Georgia's first UK game will have to wait until next season. On the bright side her first game will be at Rupp.

We were still happy at this point because the game had not started ha! I would be lying if I said the game was not depressing. We just played flat out bad. And it looks like we are NIT bound. Sheesh!

We made the most of Friday and did some fun things between the sessions. We went to Wildhorse which was a sea of blue! And I got my picture made with Elvis so the day wasn't a total wash. :)

Thank you mamaw for our SEC tickets!! We've decided that the first check these players receive once they make it to the NBA should be divided amongst all the UK fans that bought SEC tickets.

 I kid. 

You win some and you lose some. We have won our fair share so we were due a down year. But that is a hard pill for the BBN to swallow! We still bleed blue. We will get 'em next year!

Daddy's iPhone Pics

Here are some pictures of our girl (and boy) that I uploaded from Marcus' phone. I love looking at the ones he has snapped without me knowing :)

                    This was at the pediatrician's office last week (pre-shots). Love those little fat rolls!

Brother and sister. <3

Even though Owen may not make the blog as often as his sister, we still love him very much! I think he is happy to share the spotlight with Georgia Grace. I have been asked several times if I would recommend a goldendoodle for a family with kids and the answer is YES.

Hahaha!

We are heading out for Nashville tomorrow for the SEC tournament!!! I am major pumped! I will try to post an update sometime this weekend. Go Cats!!

Bible Study Rebel and #1

I look forward to Tuesday nights because that is the night we have Bible Study. We just finished up the Gospel Project series which has been wonderful. We are debating on what book to study next and we are praying that our group will expand. If you are local and interested in joining us contact me! We would love to have you!

Marcus led Bible Study tonight and Georgia Grace decided she was going to try to steal the attention. Daddy finally kicked us out! Yup, we were ostracized to the nursery for the rest of the night ha! I can confidently say our girl is back 110%! :)

Also, someone forgot to fill me in on the fact that babies do not adjust to the daylight savings time. Or at least mine didn't. I'm not complaining though, I enjoyed the extra hour or rocking and cuddling last night :)

So some of my family and friends have started noticing something Georgia does and now that I have looked back there is definitely a trend. She thinks she is #1!! Look at all these pictures where she is throwing up the #1 sign! I think there are more but these are the ones I could come up with for the collage. Crack. Me. Up. Nothing like a good positive attitude! :) Although I may have to teach her a lesson on humility someday ha!

I have spring fever bad. I am ready to shed the coats and pull out my summer wardrobe. We have had such a mild winter and I am thankful for that. March is kind of a strange month--Is it still winter? The beginning of spring? Nobody really knows. My dad has always told me to enjoy the "season" and to not always look to the future so that's what I'll try to do. It will get here soon enough!

Lately

Well we are 4 days post shots and baby girl still isn't acting like her normal bubbly self. She has been fussy and hasn't been eating well. It has gotten a little better each day but I can still tell she is not 100%. These vaccinations are for the birds! She stopped running a fever Friday and she has been laughing some today so hopefully we are close to having this behind us. Shew! 

 

Even though she hasn't been feeling well she is full of energy. I put her in her crib to play the other morning while I did stuff in her nursery and she "monkeyed around" and ended up in this position ha! She is such a little wiggleworm. Just like her daddy.

Friday night we went and ate at Mellow Mushroom. Georgia Grace loved all the stimulation! It was almost stimulation overload though. Aunt Paigey met us there so that was an unexpected treat getting to see her!

I realized that I hadn't had a picture with my big girl in a while so mom took this one of us today. Mom and Stan kept her for a little while this afternoon and they took her on her first Hidden Valley Golf Course experience! I think they have found a golf cart buddy for this summer :)

I hate to wish time away but I am ready to get this work week behind us because we are Nashville bound for the SEC tournament!! We were pretty down about how the tournament might go until yesterday--wow!! What a great game! I felt proud to be a Cats fan. 

Go Big Blue!

Ouch!

Yesterday we took Georgia for her 4 month well baby checkup. Daddy got to come this time and was excited about it until he remembered that there would be shots involved.

The shots. Oh, the shots. This face pretty much sums it up.

Bless her little heart she was not a happy camper. Our 2 month vaccinations went well but I was afraid this time since she is older and has a better memory that she wouldn't take them as well. And mommy was right. It broke our heart to see her in pain.

And she has been symptomatic today. She's ran a low grade fever and was fussy and lethargic this morning. There's been lots of cuddling and kisses today!

She was 13.3 pounds (40th percentile) and 23 3/4 inches (35th percentile). Her pediatrician said she was proportional and growing just like she should be!

He was pleased with her rolling skills and sleeping through the night. He said she has met or is ahead in all of her developmental milestones. There was a silver lining to the checkup hearing this!

Currently her temp is down to 99.3 and she woke up from her nap smiling-yay! She's still not her normal self but I'm so happy her temp is coming down. She has been pretty pitiful. I'm praying we wake up tomorrow with a normal temperature and a happy baby!

AKK Official

Today was a big day for Georgia Grace. She met the AKK preschool group! Normally Gram keeps Georgia in her nursery through the day and the other kids are in the basement so this was a big deal!

The kids have been sooooo eager to meet GGH and they ask about her daily. They are such sweethearts and love her so much. They have a daily prayer and a lot of them will pray for her. When they play house, one of them will be Georgia, me, Marcus, Shanna, etc. Cracks me up!

Here is Georgia and Grandma Harrison with Eli, Ann Marie, Ellis, Emma, Mia, Cardyn, Aiden, Erica, Konner, Kypton, Chandler, and Raeleigh! This picture radiates excitement :) Shannon said that they introduced each one to her and she would just look at them and smile. I am so glad their first interaction went so well!

Aunt Alice made her this AKK logo onesie for Christmas. I couldn't wait for her to wear it!

She will start visiting them on a daily basis on the days she is staying with Gram and then when she turns 2 she can officially join them (I am in no hurry for that one)! I am so thankful that she will get to be around these kiddos and watch and learn from them.

Tomorrow is our 4 month well baby check-up. I'm praying for a clean bill of health and minimal tears...we will see!

"Georgia Mouse"

Yay for March!

Longer days (we "spring forward" this coming weekend!), warmer temps, SEC tournament and Easter are just a few things I'm most excited about.

Thursday night I went to a Lil Angels Attic sale in Bowling Green and found a lot of goodies for my girl! LAA is a wonderful ministry that allows you to shop consignment items and your contributions go to various charities in our area. I am so glad that I could participate and support such a worthy cause.

 This was my first LAA experience and there is definitely a learning curve. For one, everyone else had their mom or a companion with them to help-oops! And there was a line to get in for when the doors opened at 6pm. I showed up about 5:40 and got the very last color armband so I was the last group to go. Regardless I found some great deals and I will know what to do next time!

Friday night we went to Moonlite for dinner. I have only been to eat there a handful of times since we went when I was 10 years old and the sewer was backed up. I have just had a hard time stomaching mutton after the horrendous odor we endured that day. I think I have finally overcome it though, I didn't gag once ;).

And this just happens to be the cutest little Minnie Mouse in all the land! Our dear friends Rhonda and Ashley were at Disney World last week for the Princess Half-Marathon and they brought Georgia back some souveneirs! I cannot wait to take her for the first time. I am a crazy woman for Disney!!! 

Thanks Ash and Rhonda for the goodies! We love you!
