1200 posts!

Wow, that is a lot of free time spent blogging over the past 4 and a half years. And a lot of work mama has left to do to get 1200 posts put into book form. (Wasn't she supposed to start that project last year?)
We spent Saturday afternoon just hanging out and watching the Purdue-ND game. Georgie got in a good cuddle with her oldest cousin, who did a great job watching her all weekend.

Little did this sweet girl know what Aunt Jenni had in store.
Mama and Aunt Jenni were trolling their favorite website, etsy.com, and came across this ridiculous thing called a baby cocoon. Mostly, it's the newborn photographer's newest way to torture a little girl. Aunt Jenni knew she could crochet one of these contraptions, and she set out to embarrass George. She didn't like it.

So they moved on to the next function- weird baby net.
Looks like we went shrimping and caught a baby instead.

We feel like this picture made Aunt Jenni's efforts worth it.
We call this shot "Quiet Resignation or ...Wait until I'm a Teenager and You'll Pay for This." Those are toes stuck up there by her head.
Later, we tried the cocoon again. This is the best we could get.
And when we were done torturing Georgie, Uncle Jim did his best Benjamin Franklin impression.
We were hoping for a few shots in the net with a sleeping baby, but Georgiana is increasingly alert. She wanted to stay up and play.
Evie built a bug that kept her attention for a long time.
To round out the afternoon, Aunt Jenni set up Georgie for her first beer picture. They grow up so fast.

With 2 blogs of 3303 pictures and 3671 pictures respectively not to mention copious witty commentary (and brilliant comments), all the best in the completion of that book.
