Georgia Kate is ONE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEORGIA KATE!

One year ago today at 2:01 in the afternoon, we heard the words, "It's a GIRL!" and met our beautiful Georgia Kate!  She is more than I could have ever imagined her to be and I thank God every day for giving us this gift.  I love every single thing about her.  Yesterday I found myself just staring at her and watching her and taking in her "baby-ness".  I know she won't magically become a big girl all of a sudden on the day she turns one, but I just love this squishy and sweet stage so much!  ONE is so much FUN! 

A few things about Georgia Kate at ONE…

*She has started to play with the dogs (mainly Annabelle)!  She likes to grab her toys and hold them in the air for Annabelle to get.

*She likes "touch and feel" books and Snuggle Puppy.  

*Her favorite song is the ABC's!  If she's crying or fussy, it's usually the only song that will calm her down.
*She has two new teeth on the top (4 total) and one that has barely popped through.

*We growls like a puppy and it's adorable. :)

*When she gets excited or sees something she wants, she makes her mouth into a perfect O and raises her eyebrows and says, "Ohhhhh!"

*She loves to click her tongue!

*She's always loved bananas, but she has taken her love to a new level.  She eats at least one whole banana a day and shovels handfuls into her mouth.  

*She has started to transition to whole milk and so far it's gone well!

*She began standing unassisted (for about 5 seconds at a time) around 11 months!  Around 11.5 months she started pushing things and walking around (kitchen chairs, toy shopping cart, etc.)  I am not quite ready for her to walk yet, so I'm hoping she takes her time!  

*She usually prefers bear crawling to regular crawling.  

Georgia Kate, you are SO loved.  We can't wait to watch you grow this year!

Months 1-4

 Months 5-8

Months 9-12

I think the dress she wore in these 12 month pictures is my very favorite, but I love them all!  I've had so much fun playing dress up with her each month!

Here she is with the big white bow at 12 months.  The white bow didn't match the dress she was wearing because it had a creamy white, not regular white.  (mommy-blogger problems) ;)
