Mixing up bath time

Tonight I decided to do bath time a little differently.. we used the kitchen sink. Now that Georgia can sit up so well I thought it would be fun for her, I think she enjoyed it, but noticed it wasn't her regular tub.

What is this cool thing?

Bubbles.. yum

Ohh a new toy!

Growing

Georgia isn't the only thing that is growing at the Handsaker house.. Brian was determined to plant a garden this year and it is growing so well! I am really impressed that he built the garden and planted everything.. I must say it is pretty cool to go get things for dinner from the backyard! We have zucchini, broccoli and lettuce as well as some herbs right now.. we're waiting on tomatoes, carrots and sunflowers.

Weekend Activities

Today while I was co-hosting a baby shower for my good friend Kristy, Georgia got to hang out with Grammy & Grandpa. Georgia REALLY liked the big bed with the fluffy comforter and lots of pillows! She also got to try some Montana huckleberry/blueberry/oat baby food that Grammy & Grandpa brought back for her!

I can feed myself.. wait which way does this thing go?

Yum.. thanks Grammy

Princess and the pea?

Congrats Kristy!

Back together after our fun filled days

Camping on Whidbey Island

Last week we decided to kick off what we hope to be an annual camping trip. We had a lot going on but I was pretty adamant about making it happen.. even if it was only for one night. Well, all I can say is.. was it WAY more effort that it was worth for 24 hours.. yes, am I glad we did it anyway.. yes. We went to Whidbey Island where Georgia had a great time and discovered dirt.. sitting on a towel then blanket she pulled both back just to run her hands through the dirt. We also tried out out backpack for the first time and it went well so there will be some hikes in our future.. I never thought I would look forward to that but Georgia has changed my outlook on a lot of things!

Finally packed up and ready to go..

Yay.. camping!

Ohh campfire!

All bundled up!

Who says you can't be fashionable while camping?

Brian caught two fish!

Eight Months Old!

Georgia, I can't believe that you are 8 months old today! Time has been flying and you have made every minute so fun. You are sweet and funny, you love to cuddle and make a lot of noise. You give hugs and are starting to give (big) kisses.. just in the last few days you have started to roll all around so it will be no time before you are crawling (eek!). You are an absolute joy, daddy and I couldn't love you any more!

Recently when Nana was over she asked what surprised us most about being a parent.. Brian's response "I didn't know how much fun it was going to be!"

Georgia's First Wedding

This weekend we attended a wedding for one of Brian's friends, it was at a beautiful spot in Port Orchard. It was a new experience having a baby at a wedding, we scoped out a spot in the back and were ready with toys to make sure the wedding and not Georgia was heard by all.. she did great! Georgia is such a social little girl I think she had a good time too.. she was willingly passed around and smiled at just about everyone.

So pretty in her party dress

Summer Chic

It's as if she is saying, "Yes, thank you I am enjoying summer just fine.. now will you put that camera away!"

Pool Party

With the hot weather we've been having a baby pool seemed like a good idea. This weekend I hosted a little PEPS get together for a few of the ladies and we took advantage of the weather and the new addition to our backyard. It's so fun to see how these kidos have grown and changed, everyone was sitting up and sharing toys.

So serious

Trying to beat the heat!

Today it was over 90 degrees so Georgia and I were HOT! For some reason we decided to meet Megan for a walk at about 2:30pm which ended up being a five mile walk in the heat of the day. Needless to say we were cookin' by the time we got home. I took Georgia in her room and sat her right in front of the fan.. ahhhhh

Ohh this feels good...

Yahoo!

I love fans!

Happy 4th of July!

We spent the 4th at Aunt Alexis & Uncle Wade's house.. the weather was a bit chillier than we were hoping for but we were just happy that daddy made it back in time to celebrate!

Happy Birthday Nana!

Today is Nana's birthday but the other night we had her and Bawdy down for a little early celebration.

Georgia enjoyed a beverage before dinner

Let's Party!

Happy Birthday!

A good time was had by all
