Georgiana will be four months old in three days. She only weighs 12 ½ pounds, and feeds very often. She rolled over for the first time last Saturday, 16 July 2005. She was started on solids this week. I started her on carrots and potatoes, in an effort to stave off the development of a sweet tooth, even though I find it very hard not to give fruit purees. She doesn’t seem to mind solids, although she’s only had very small amounts.

Georgiana is a smiler! She has a cutest smile and she uses it all the time. Everyone comments on how smiley she is. She really is a gorgeous, happy, smiley baby … who loves to be held by her mommy! If I’m holding her, she’s OK. If not, it is increasingly likely that she is crying.

Georgiana started school last month! She has Mrs. Nichols for her Reception teacher. Georgie has settled into school really well and enjoys going. She's also really responsible every morning - she gets herself dressed, with the clothes that she has laid out the night before, puts away her pajamas, makes her bed, and most of the time remembers to tidy her room. Then she comes downstairs and - most mornings - cheerfully does a job, such as emptying the dishwasher or setting the table or folding clothes. One morning she even sorted through my laundry and put it into darks, lights and whites. Tim has been gone during the week for the past five weeks, and he left the children with instructions to help me around the house, so Georgie has taken it upon herself to help me with the dishes after dinner. As she sees everyone finishing their dinner, she'll say, 'I want to wash up, I want to wash up.' And she'll park herself in front of the sink, fill the sink up with freezing cold water, and try to rinse dishes to put into the dishwasher. Above are some pictures of her in the outfit which she wore on the first day of school. It's a french pinafore that I couldn't resist buying - she looks like a little Parisian girl from the 1940's!
