Georgia- 2 Months

Georgia Rue turned two months old on Monday. This having two kids thing could be a whole post in itself, but I will share a few thoughts I've had in the past two months.
Its hard to give Everett and Georgia equal attention. They need it in different ways, like Everett wants to play and Georgia wants to nurse. I feel like I don't give Georgia all the coos and chats I was able to give Ev. She hangs in her swing or next to me when Everett needs my attention. I think I just feel guilty no matter what I do! Grace, give yourself grace Shannon.... ;)

anyway... Georgia is just the sweetest little thing. She is pretty serious most of the time. Still nursing a lot, and sleeping a lot. She wakes maybe twice in the night (thats all a blur by morning). Her hair is starting to fall out, but is a reddish brown color. Her eyes are still super blue. This month she got so big to me, she feels heavier and is wearing 0-3 month clothes. I find out her weight next week.
She loves to be moving, falls asleep in the car, swing, stroller, bouncer. Loves bath time and when her daddy talks to her. Still needs a swaddle to sleep too.

I don't want to forget:

• Her little coos and grunts.
• the way she latches onto my face when I kiss her cheeks!
• how she'll let out a little squeal/laugh and it is heard across the house

 First Easter:

Georgia's Nursery

We had a lot of fun doing this girly nursery. I knew I wanted gold, grays, white and a little pink.  We did the gold striped walls (inspired by the backside of a Christmas card we got!) pretty soon after finding out it was a girl. We used a mustard yellow base color followed by Martha Stewarts metallic gold paint from Home Depot. There are 64 tape lines. It took forever to tape. Maybe 3 days, because it was such a tiring process we needed a lot of breaks!

(I should've straightened the crib skirt. its bugging me.) The tassel garlands were used at my baby shower. The crib skirt was Everetts, I sewed white ruffles onto it.

Georgia- One Month old

Georgia turned one month old on 3/21. Her first month was easier on me than I thought it would be, but hard on her in some ways. We had to stay an extra day at the hospital for jaundice, and then when we got home we found out it worsened and she had to be on the bili-blanket and get heel pricks for a week. Poor thing. 

She reminds me of Everett in a lot of ways. I think they look a lot a like! She is more serious though. I know I had photos of Everett smiling in his sleep at this age, and she rarely does that. Her eyes focus really well and I talk to her all day long trying to get a smile but I have yet to get one! 

She sleeps fine at night and a lot during the day. She breastfeeds like a pro, she had zero issues with that (I didn't either! yay). We did supplement for the jaundice, so she takes a bottle as well. I am thankful for that! I do have sessions and weddings I am shooting soon so she will need to take one. 

Everett just adores her. He constantly talks to her and is doting on her. He asks all the time when she can play!

She weighed 7lbs 15oz at her one month appointment. Still in newborn clothes. She is my little peanut.

I don't want to forget:

• How strong this little girl is! Always holding her neck up to look around.
• How blue her eyes are already! They are so light! I hope they stay!
• what a noisy little nose breather she is
• How she immediately falls asleep in the car, only after screaming from being put in her seat
