18 months!!

Georgia Ann celebrated her half birthday a few days ago. She is turning into a sweet, fun loving toddler who looks up to her big sister and loves to party. She is off the charts for weight and right around 94th percentile in height. She is still our little chunk-a-monk.

She's really interested in vocabulary right now and will point at anything new and ask, "What's that?". Other two/three word phrases are "all done", "up p (which is her version of up please)", and "I love you". She now has her first two bottom molars and is currently cutting more teeth.

Her favorite activities include reading books, signing songs (she has a few church songs she belts out over and over again), and, of course dancing. This girl is a dancing fool. If she hears music anywhere, she wants to find the nearest dance floor and boogie. Anyway, here are a few new pictures of her. Let me know if you want any because I'm placing an order VERY soon (probably tomorrow).

Pumpkin Carving!

We took our big new pumpkin home and carved him up. Sara really got into it this year and even helped with the actual carving. Georgia Ann was a bit tentative at first. She didn't know what to think of the slimy mess. But they both LOVED the pumpkin seeds. Yum!

Pumpkin Patch Time!!

One of our favorite Halloween traditions is getting to go to our local pumpkin patch to pick out our big family pumpkin. In addition, the girls get to pick out their very own mini-pumpkin to decorate.

This year, I had high hopes of getting a perfectly cute sisterly fall shot of the girls. I figured they were both of an age where I could get smiles and cute poses. Boy, was I wrong. I greatly underestimated "child of a photographer's" syndrome. And, Sara has it bad. It is a huge feat to get her to even look at me when I whip out the camera anymore. And, smiles, forget about it. Oh well. I guess I'll need to figure out bigger and bigger bribes to get those cute pictures for our Christmas cards.

the AirShow!!

Mid-October, we decided to take the girls to the airshow. I had forgotten how loud that place would be but Georgia Ann loved the noise. Sara, on the other hand, kept her little hands over her ears almost the entire time. She did brave it out and even got inside some of the cool planes (she was scared but decided to be very brave and try it). She was doing good until they decided to have a Pearl Harbor reenactment, complete with bombings, smoke and fire. At that point, we decided it was time to leave.
