Y'all Come Back for Moore: September 2015

Oh what a fun month! Every morning you wake up and yell, "Dada...BOW?" You and DaDa have breakfast together and he shares his eggs with you. You LOVE breakfast and could eat 1-2 eggs, a waffle, fruit, and a few spoonfuls of peanut butter on most mornings. You are super helpful too and many afternoons you rearrange the liquor cabinet and choose which bottle you think Dada would like to sample.

We celebrated Mr. Harrison Hood's 30th birthday with a "surprise" party at the Sweetenburgs. Kingsley made y'all some mac and cheese and the three of you sat together like big kids to eat supper. We stayed for awhile and when the babies got tired, the Mommas offered pacis and stuffed animals and tucked the babies in all together. Of course, Suzanna Grace gave special attention to her favorite, Harry Hood.

Dada either comes home or, on special occasions, meets us out for lunch a few days a week. On this day, Dada had to rush back to the office but SG and I stayed to enjoy a cookie. What a silly goose and sweet lover like her momma!

This month SG turned forward in her carseat. We had her in the back while the Butala's were here and just left her back there since she may actually still be a smudge too small to be forward....

Hooray for ponytails...except that she now looks like she's five.

SuSu bought Carolina James her FIRST monogrammed gown and we LOVE it. Nothing is official until you have a monogram.

SG got a UGA cheerleading outfit for the tailgates that she'll be attending and she tried it out for gymnastics one day. Go dawgs! (I do not actually know what the UGA cheer is...yet.)

Who LOVES a selfie...Suzanna Grace!!! At the first of the month her MMO class learned about farm animals so of course she had to wear all of her "farm" themed smocked outfits. Here she is showing off her teeth and tongue before school. Bless her sweet bones. She also loves to give Baby Sissy sweet kisses.

Who can resist a fall cape? Not Mama and SG that's for sure.

Suzanna Grace is continuing to LOVE music class with Ms. Cathy. She knows the motions and what to do for most of the songs.

The weather has been nice so we spend a lot of time outside coloring with chalk and playing with all of our rolling toys.

I finally found gymnastics/dance clothes to fit SG and I am obsessed! Leg warmers and a leotard? Yes, please. SG is so strong and loves going to gym each week (may times we go twice.) She is learning to do all of the tasks at each station and especially loves anything where she gets to hang and swing.

SG liked picking off all of the mum buds and smelling them. She was a little confused when they didn't stick back on to the stem.

We had a few playdates with her friend Seinna too. Her mother and I take turns having "free time" while the other watches the girls.

DadaB and Susu came to visit us this month and helped work on Carolina James' nursery. We didn't JUST work and enjoyed some playtime too. SuSu and SG continued their campaign for Mayor of Athens as we greeted everyone we met.

Suzanna Grace got some practice being a big sister with her new babydoll that Susu brought her. She LOVES her cabbage patch doll and takes good care of her. When baby doesn't want her paci, SG gladly takes it. She changed her clothes several times and put her to sleep in the kitchen sick.

Only your Susu will let you cover your blocks in Chik-fil-A sauce...

Suzanna Grace helped Mama fit some times in baby Sissy's room and even let her have two of her crib bows.

We have two college guys who do our yard work and SG loves to watch them. They are so sweet to her and show her their tools when they come to work.

Suzanna Grace has really taken an interest in art these days and LOVES to draw. She made quite the masterpieces to hang in baby Sissy's room and even made some cards to send to family. We are working on coloring ON THE PAPER and not all over the floors, walls, furniture, and ourselves...working on it.

Suzanna Grace's MMO program hosted a Memories with Mom party and I got to see SG in her element. She stuffed 3-4 donuts in her mouth and showed me around her room. We made a beautiful little craft and she played with her friends. One of the little boy's mothers told me that he comes home each day talking about Suzanna Grace's bows. HAHA!

Delta Gamme sponsored "Do Good" week and I helped organize a collaboration between the UGA DGs and Downtown Academy (where I have been volunteering once a week.) Suzanna Grace got to go too and she enjoyed coloring little things that students could use to cover one eye during their eye exam. Jeannie Hood and I toured the DG house and joined the Alum group too.

We continue to enjoy Fantastic Fridays with our friends. SG gets to practice all of her skills from gymnastics class and has races with Harry on the trampoline.
