Taking Care of Georgia

Ella Joy introducing all of her ponies to her new sister.
She sat here for an hour telling her their names, colors,
and singing pony songs.
She said, "Mom, I'm doing discoveries with Baby Georgia."

Being cared for by all of our stuffed animals

Once again the doting older sister.
I truly am grateful for Ella Joy. She is absolutely in love with Georgia.
And I can trust her to take good care of her. She constantly sings to her, talks to her, gives her the paci.
Julia is a little dangerous when she comes in close contact with Georgia (pulling limbs, poking eyes, hitting)but she is a great when I ask her to get a diaper and wipes. She runs as fast as she can to retrieve them. Hopefully the jealousy thing will pass soon.

This is what we call the "magic snowsuit."
My mom bought it and I really think it must have magical powers.
We put it on Georgia at night and she almost instantly falls asleep.
Better yet it keeps her asleep for most of the night.

One of my oh so responsible male caretakers.

And his oh so responsible father.

Georgia has survived her first month. Hooray!

Hailey would do the exact same thing if she had such a captive audience. She is in love with her ponies. I think EJ is such a good big sister because Noah took such good care of her. I love it.

It's sweet how Ella Joy loves her and shows her all of her toys.

Ella Joy is so sweet! I love the pony and the stuffed animal pics, but I have a question for you: Where do you keep all those stuffed animals in your apartment? I have the toughest time finding a place for Elena's stuffed animals. They are all jumbled at the foot of her bed - which I hate.
I can't believe that you have 4 kids! Wowza!
