So today we returned sweet Baby Georgie (by the way, I hope she doesn't marry anyone with the last name of Brown because then she would be Sweet Georgie Brown and that would just remind me of the Harlem Globetrotters) to her Ohio kin for the start of her worldwide tour of first Christmas. We did have lots of fun with her despite the fact that she slept like a normal 4 month old who was away from her nursing mom. One thing is for certain, we will all sleep well tonight. Her Grandma Cooper probably won't.
Here are some pics I captured on the phone. That's why they are the greatest quality but you can clearly see how happy a baby she is and how much fun we had being around her. Evie loved on her a lot and even got good at feeding her bottles. We never did get a chance to teach Evie to change diapers.
Aunt Becky sent all her most embarassing holiday clothes and we took the opportunity to dress her up like a little elf.
On Monday, I was feeling brave so I loaded all three kids in the back of the grocery getter and we went down to the Indiana State Museum. There, they have an old train that used to run in the L.S.Ayres store in downtown. You could also visit Santa. Since we already have talked to Santa this season, the big kids took a spin on the train and then we explored the rest of the musuem.
Georgie rode in the sling and I got lots of looks from parents and nice comments from grandma types about how cute she was.
We started walking around the displays and realized that this isn't really a super fun museum for kids, but it did really go over Indiana history in detail including this varsity jacket from Bobby Plump of the Milan Miracle team of 1954. You probably know the story better as the Gene Hackman version of Hoosiers (cue the music!) We also learned that one of our favorite authors, Norman Bridwell of Clifford fame has ties to Indiana.
Overwhelmed by Indiana history and geology, Georgie fell asleep.
We only started to get her in funny poses before we returned her back to Ohio.
But before she left, we gave her a taste of solid food.
