Georgia Kate turned 18 months old last week! Here's a little update on our baby girl!
Georgia Kate is talking SO much! Her brother was more of the "man of few (no) words" type at this age, so I'm not used to such a little person having so much to say! :) She repeats us constantly and points and names things all day long. She's also putting together some 2 or 3 word phrases. She has a little bit of a lisp and I am obsessed with it.
Some of my favorite things she says are…
WOW! or WOAH!
ba-bees = paci
BITE! (No matter what we are eating or drinking, even if it's exactly what she has, she yells, "BIIIIITE!")
One of my favorite things is instead of just saying yes, she usually says, "ah, yes". She also nods with her whole body. Instead of bending at the neck she bends at her back. :)
She says, "hold you", when she wants to be picked up.
Reid loves to talk to her and just ramble on about things (usually telling her what to do or not to do) and she almost always responds with, "Nooooooo". Every now and then she will just smile and say, "Okaaaaaaaay!"
She adds "a" before almost everything. My favorite is when she wants a hug and says, "a ug!"
Georgia is very friendly to strangers as long as she doesn't feel like she's going to be handed over to them. She waves and says hi to people in restaurants and stores.
When she's doing something that she knows she shouldn't be doing, she will look at me, tilt her head to the side, and scrunch up her nose, trying (and succeeding) to be cute.
She has finally reached the point of WANTING her bow. When it falls out, she says in a very concerned way, "Bow?" My diligent training has paid off. ;)
Little sister wants to do everything that Reid does and the newest thing is that she wants to sit in a regular chair to eat. Every now and then I'll let her do it for a snack or something and she always looks so impressed with herself.
Speaking of eating, I'm sad to report that the picky phase has started. She still eats more of a variety than Reid does, but she's starting to refuse things that she used to love. Sigh. She has, however, acquired a new love of dipping sauces (aka Dip Dip). She is also the MESSIEST eater! :)
Girlfriend is STUBBORN. It is almost impossible to distract her with something else when she is focused on what she wants. She will NOT. GIVE. UP.
She likes to have lots of stuffed animals and books in her bed and then has to take all of them out in morning.
Georgia Kate loves brushing her teeth. LOVES IT. By brushing her teeth I mean she loves to lick the toothpaste off and then chew on the toothbrush. ;)
Her favorite song is "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Singing it is the only way I get to rock her. She says, "tweekle" in the sweetest voice and let's me sing it over and over again.
Georgia Kate is so silly and loves to dance! She especially loves to shake it off with Taylor Swift. :)
She can jump with two feet and loves to hop around the house!
She has such wild hair and it totally fits her personality. I love it and I am excited to see what it does as it gets longer!
She still hates diaper changes and hates the car. Honestly, the way she acts about them is completely ridiculous, but hopefully also just a phase. :)
Reid and Georgia Kate are starting to really play together! It's so fun!
This little girl makes us laugh and keeps us on our toes, that's for sure! We all just adore her!
