Yes I said Breasts.....
Breasts and Breast Feeding in Public.
When my three year old asked why the baby was breast feeding. I explained to him that's how babies were fed. He looked concerned and said "she's not sucking my boob!"
I fully support those moms that chose to breast feed. It's an amazing thing that we can do for our babies as women and I thought most people in this day and age agreed.
Only in a society where breasts are so sexualized that the sight of a woman feeding her child would be deemed inappropriate. When we feel it's ok to idealize the woman on the red carpet showing more cleavage than any mom I've ever seen feeding her child- Gimme' a break!
When is society going to GROW UP!
This being said I'm not a public breast feeding mama.. Oh I wish could be! I've practiced and mapped it out in my head how I would feed my child no matter where we were as to comfort/nourish her. It never worked out the way I planned and I would regress to a dressing room, car or back room. I honestly think it's my own sense of insecurity... so those moms that can, I root for you!
Go MOM Go!
I often frequent a baby board where we chat about our new little ones and was appalled to read a post of a fellow March Mommy! This outraged me and let me tell you that if someone tried to put anything over my babies head- oohhh watch out - don't mess with a new mom!
I read all of the responses to the posting and this really outraged me- all of which were mostly breast feeding mamas too! Some were overly concerned that the babies head was not covered by a blanket or what if their 13 yr old son saw or how could they finish a meal with a mom feeding her child.
Are you kidding me?
If you don't agree with the feeding of the baby in public- don't look, explain it to your child and move on BUT please DON'T ever try to COVER or touch another person's baby- EVER!!
GRRRRR

PS: This woman's state has laws that protect her right to feed her child in public no matter what your view on the subject is :)
What Did the Pink Hippo Say? It sure sounds like a lot if you ask me!
Georgia had a conversation with a Pink Hippo today!
She went on and on talking to her pink Hippo from Zoobies.com for atleast 30 mins today... it was so cute to witness!
check out these amazing award winning stuffed animals from Zoobies.com They are a cute stuffed animal to play with, cuddly blanket and super soft pillow- all in one!
Great idea!

I sat down to make a few bows today for Georgia and ended up making 30! It's been a long time since I sat down and created a fun art project.
Even Georgia was shocked!
I'm starting to catch on with a pattern here. Every night my Georgia wakes up at 3am sharp and is back asleep by 3:15-3:20.
It has nothing to do with when I put her to bed..her normal bed time is 9pm and tonight it was 11pm. She also has nothing against time zone changes-still wakes up at 3am. We live PST and are in MST now- both places 3am
This is the second night I have actually stayed up past her 3am mark... I start to hear her rustle in bed about 2:50 and then DING DING 3am and she is crying for a feeding.
I find it very strange... How does she know it's 3am?
FROM THE TREE.
We named Georgia Jewel after my father's mother Jewel Armstrong.
DO WE LOOK ALIKE?
So admit it... we all have our addictions.
I'm addicted to MAC make-up, Fashion Magazines, iTunes and pedicures.
I realized today that my Georgia was addicted to her bottle...not any bottle but one funny bottle in particular. She cuddles the long tube caressing it as she sucks. It's so cute but oh so weird at the same time!
I think Georgia looks like a Kewpie doll and while cleaning her room I noticed one of my old dolls and thought... hummmm those clothes would fit her.
Beware- Don't Try This At Home...
We can't leave Georgia in her bouncer, swing, or car seat without fully strapping her in....not even for 1 second! She automatically stands up or sits up. We can't even leave her on the couch or bed- she will roll over-YIKES!!
I caught this picture of her standing up while trying to capture baby photos.
Today she got the first of many to come- earrings. Next time Daddy can buy her the real thing... Every girl loves a little bling
Genetics is a weird thing and very confusing. Everyone always asks how we got a red head- Dylan has beautiful red hair. Both Richard and I have red heads further back in the family tree so I guess that is where Dylan got his Golden locks. It appears that Georgia may have inherited the Red hair too , only time will tell.
Will she keep her Blue eyes?
Georgia cooling off in her PINK bathing suit- what a bathing beauty.
I thought how appropriate this chic outfit from myprincesscloset.com was for our BreastCancer walk. We got so many compliments on this beautiful outfit and we felt so good that with the purchase of the outfit we are giving back and saving the enviornment. :)
