First, Friday we had my cousin Sharon's baby shower. She is adopting a baby boy that is due to arrive on the 21st. My mom and I had ordered the cake so after going to the store to pick up other things my mom was furnishing I got the cake. I got home and got ready to leave and then fed Georgia. They wanted her to come so I brought her with me while Shawn stayed home. I lost track of time and by the time I tried to give Georgia some baby food during the shower it was way past time for her to have eaten and very close to her bed time, so she was not happy. I ended up leaving before she had finished opening the gifts and Georgia screamed the whole way back home. I always give her some rice cereal before she goes to bed, but I knew I would need to nurse her to calm her down. So I did one side, fed her cereal, then let her nurse on the other side and put her to bed. It was way past her bedtime! When I put her in the high chair to give her the cereal she fell asleep in the seat.
Then on Saturday I went to a baby shower for the daughter of one of Shawn's cousins. Since Georgia had a long and trying time at the shower the previous night I didn't take her to this one. Of course everyone kept asking me where she was as well. I left the shower after it started getting to the two hour mark and she had only opened two gifts because I needed to get home to feed Georgia before we went to the graduation party. While at home, we had to give Georgia an impromptu bath because she pooped and it came out of her diaper and went all up her back. We also threw a load of clothes in the washing machine to avoid stains. After her bath, I nursed her and then we left. The party was for our friend George's girlfriend. Since they've been dating for most of our married life then she really is our friend too, but we still refer to her as George's girlfriend. The party was in Blythewood, so it took a little while to get there. We only knew George, Shanna, and Shanna's family, but that didn't stop many people from admiring Georgia and wanting to hold her. We stayed for about two hours and then left because we knew Georgia would be hitting her limit soon.
Sunday, of course, was Mother's day. I got a card from Shawn and one from Georgia. Then at church we had her infant dedication. My parents and my brother came, as well as Shawn's family, and George and Shanna. After church we went to eat and then got to spend time with Shawn's sister and some of her kids. We got to see Maddie for the first time in three years (she had grown so much!).
This is Georgia sleeping in her high chair Friday night.
Georgia was hanging out on the sofa while I folded laundry.
Here is Georgia with George.
This was Saturday night, Georgia made tons of faces while Shawn tried to feed her.
She knocked out Sunday morning after I nursed her.
We put her in her bouncy set while we ate breakfast and she tried to get out.
This was everyone at the front of the church for her dedication.
Here Pastor Rusty is holding her while he prays.
This is Gabby, Georgia's new friend. She is the daughter of one of our missionary families.

Georgia with her Aunt Whitney (somehow we had no pictures of Whitney holding her from before they moved to Florida).
Georgia with her cousins: Alex, N'Kenna, Madison, and Jason.
