She brought me my hippo slippers. One for me to wear, one for her to wear.
Oh, and see that dark blur at the bottom of the left picture? That's Phoenix ;)

She's so peaceful when she's sleeping.
And I just realized how big she's getting. She's going
to seem like a giant when Phoenix gets here.

Georgia has been joining us in bed in the mornings quite a bit lately.
Ben got this shot of her snuggled up to me :) she's such a cuddle bug.
This was a sweet start to what ended up being a not so great day.
This was the day of my glucose tolerance test, meaning I was going to
be getting my blood drawn. The mere thought of getting my blood
drawn makes me nauseated. Ben got off work for the morning so he
could be there with me - for which, I was very grateful.
He started driving Georgia and I to my appointment, we were
already running late, and then the car broke down.
To make a long story short, my Mom quickly came to pick up
Georgia and I, and Ben had to stay with the car to get it towed.
Thus, Ben was no longer able to make it to my appointment.
It was a rough day, for sure. But it honestly helped whenever I
thought about Georgia's sweet morning snuggles and this picture.
It's the little things.

We celebrated our niece's birthday on Monday (and Tuesday, actually!) and the
three of us ended up snuggled on the couch together :) I love them so much.

We had dinner at my parents' house on Sunday - I always love watching
Georgia play with her cousins. And Ben is an awesome uncle :)

We had rather the mud-graced day on Saturday.
Georgia zonked in my arms after playing in mud for hours.
And then I ended up getting dropped in muddy water at the end
of the day. It's a long, entertaining story I might tell on the blog
someday :) Georgia and I were quite a sight!

I was extra tired on this day, so we were cuddled on the couch watching Beauty and
the Beast. I got up from my spot to get a drink and come back to her sitting with my
pillow and my blanket. She told me to sit with her pillow and blanket instead.
She thought she was pretty cute... and she was ;)

I finally stopped to put the labels on my oils one day while Georgia was
napping. She woke up while I was still working on it and had all the oils
lined up along the edge of the table. She immediately started saying "Bah...
bah... bah..." (meaning "back" as in "Let's put them back.") and she walked
right over to the table and started putting them all back in the box.
She loves oils. We have to keep them safe and out of her reach or it could
be dangerous if she got one open! Thankfully she hasn't mastered twisting
tops off yet, but I would never risk it.

This is what happens when I let Georgia carry around a hank of yarn for a week.
A tangled mess, I tell ya. Although, I'm getting pretty good at untangling yarn ;)

Finishing up Baby Lynn's sweater. I'm not sure why I always
avoided things with buttons... they're not hard at all! These pins
are marking the spots where buttons needed to go :)

Sweet little girlies, having a blast at Serenity's party!
Georgia is exactly 10 months older than Serenity (in the mint suit), and
Serenity is almost a month older than Maddie (Georgia's cousin). Such
precious girls! Can you tell Georgia and Maddie had been enjoying their
cake just before this? ;)

We went to a recent client's house to take pictures of the outdoor kitchen
the guys just built for them, and Mr. Charlie was very kind and shared some
orange juice and oreos with Georgia! She was quite happy :)

Another sweater in the works! This one is for Phoenix's friend that's
due 2 weeks before her :) It's knitting up quicker than Nixie's, I think
mainly because I'm familiar with the pattern and don't have to think
about it nearly as much. I can just knit away! :D

Every so often when I let Georgia out of the car after grocery shopping, she
makes a beeline for the backyard instead of going to the front door. This was
one of those days. And after seeing the raindrops hanging on the cedar tree,
I ran inside to grab my camera for a few shots. I also happened to catch some
of that sweetness. I love her so much.

My Mom came over on Thursday and helped me make a few lasagnas, 1 for dinner, 2 to
freeze (for later use when I'm tired just before Phoenix is here and tired after she's here).

Much sweetness today.
Hot tea and a perfect table to rest it on.
Newborn clothes... an outfit that Georgia wore.

Smiling baby Wolf. I did his newborn pictures on Tuesday and
it went really well! Probably the easiest newborn shoot I've had.
He was very content and easy. And his family is just wonderful.

I don't know if I've got a photo for this day. There aren't any on my camera but I seem to
remember taking some with Ben's phone. When he's home from work I'll take a look! :)

We went over to Memaw and Papaw's Sunday evening so the guys
could talk about work stuff. Georgia got to eat half of their
watermelon while we were there. Or... at least it seemed like it ;)

We had our families over to celebrate Independence Day on the 5th!
My Dad and brother are fire fighters and they were both on duty on the
4th, so we took the next day as our opportunity to hang out with our
families! :) It was a fun day, despite the rain keeping us mostly inside.

She has always loved watching Ben mow the grass.
She just happens to look stinkin' adorable while doing so.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love cats and knitting?
I guess I'm a Grandma at heart ;)
Apparently sometimes, it can be difficult to keep your butt
on the couch.
I've really been enjoying knitting some things for Phoenix!
Here are her blanket and sweater, both a work in progress.
I can't wait to show her off with the finished products! :D

Some mornings start like this. And that's ok.
I am so not a morning person, so it'd be a miracle if
we ended up with a child that loved mornings.

One thing about babies, kittens and puppies that always amazes me is how
they can be playing hard one minute, then I turn around for 30 seconds and
come back to find them either zonked or close to it.

Trying my hand at watercolor.
I'm very inexperienced when it comes to any kind
of paint, so it was fun to try this.

That dog.
She is definitely turning out to be a dress up girl. I was doing something and
suddenly heard "clop clop clop..." and came to find her dressed in my only pair
of heels and her fabulous, hot pink, sparkly sunglasses.

Here is Cove's blanket! I'll post more pictures on our family blog soon (and
link to them here, once they're posted).
She is a girl after my own heart. Thoroughly enjoying the Knit Picks catalog.

"Aah?" meaning "on" or "off" (you just have to decide for yourself which one
she's asking for). She can't quite reach the switch, but she'll bring things over
to stand on if you won't come over to switch the light for her.
This is a peak at a baby blanket I just made for Ben's cousin's baby (due this month)!
I'll post more pictures in a minute. I finished it at night and didn't have good lighting
to get full on shots of it. I took it outside the next day :)
