Moving on...

As many of you all ready know Georgia is going to be a Big Sister in 2009! Doug and I are thrilled and can't wait to meet our newest family member. We have so much to do before he or she arrives but I know it will all work out in the end. Top priority on the list is moving!! In order to accomplish this we must figure out just where we want to move! Doug and I took a trip out to the Woodlands this weekend while my mom came over and stayed with Georgia for the day. While we don't like the fact it is so far away from our family we do feel it is the best place to raise a family. They have so much to offer. 164 miles of hike and bike trails lots of kids activities and while not as many shopping opportunities they aren't lacking by much at all. We have narrowed it down to 2 different houses we like. One is in the actual "Woodlands" and we met the neighbors when we were at the open house they have a 3 year old son and a 4 month old daughter....perfect! The second home on our list is less than a mile outside of the "Woodlands" area. It is brand new and on a little lake. Not sure which (if any) we will end up with but hopefully we will be deciding soon! First things first though- I started Real Estate classes last week so I need to finish that up before we buy or sell!

Georgia is growing up so much lately. She is talking more, running around everywhere and will copy everything you do. Just yesterday Doug filled a cup with water for me using the water faucet from the fridge which we never use. After I drank the water Georgia wanted to play with the cup. Next thing I knew she was standing by the refridgerator trying to fill the cup up just like she saw Daddy do. It blows my mind that she is picking up on things like that so quickly.

She is quite the little show off as well. Anytime someone comes over to visit she gets super excited and begins running aroung playing and showing off each and every one of her toys. She will squeal and laugh and run to bounce wildly on her zebra, then off to push the stroller around- pausing only for a second to pick up a baby doll and give it a hug. On to the kitchen where she crawls through the "door" and plays all the musical parts. Back to the Zebra again. Then a swim through the ball pit. It is so funny to watch her in "Full Show Off Mode"...wonder where she got that??

We have taken a break from our gym class. I don't think she was that into it this past semester as out last class she spent the entire time running from the entry to the exit door trying to escape. We might pick it up in a month or two. We had been going for almost a year straight so a nice break might spark her interest more when we go back. She still LOVES her music class though and we have so much fun! I will be sad if we do move to the Woodlands and have to give up our music class. I think she has learned so much from it.

I really enjoy and treasure every minute I get to spend with my daughter. I worry about how things will change once a new baby joins our family, but I think Georgia is going to love being a big sister.
