Georgia turned 8 months on August 29th, and I just cannot believe how fast the time has gone since she was born, and I wanted to share 8 things about her!
We just got back from Florida, and we had the best time! We stayed at the Barefoot Beach Club on Madeira Beach, and it was so beautiful. Our suite was brand new, and it felt exactly like a villa. It was decorated in the prettiest whites and blues, and just made us feel so relaxed. We also had a huge balcony that we started our mornings with coffee and breakfast and ended our nights with fun chats and drinks on. It was even big enough to do a workout on. In the morning, Georgia and I went out there, and she sat in her bouncy chair while I did my workout, and it was so cute watching her smile as I did lunges and squats.
Also, Georgia did so well on the plane! Georgia and I had a window seat, Greg sat in the middle, and Olivia was on the outside. On take off, I nursed her, and she fell asleep. She slept for most of the plane ride, and when she woke up she played with her toys, and I had bought her a new toy that was special for the plane ride that she loved! It was this little banana teether that was squishy and the perfect size. I have it linked down below.
These pictures are from our first couple of days. We loved soaking up the sun, splashing in the pool, and getting dressed up for dinner! This Italian restaurant that we went to on our second night there that my mom found was my favorite because they had chicken marsala, and that is one of my faves!

We are heading to Florida tomorrow morning, and I could not be more excited! We are all packed up, and it is going to be Georgia’s first time on an airplane! I can’t wait to be on the beach and play in the pool with her and Greg. I kinda feel like we’re going on our honeymoon again especially because our matching suitcases that we got for our wedding are all packed up!
Also, I am so happy because this dress would not button up all the way 2 months ago. I was pretty much back down to my pre-pregnancy weight, and all of my clothes fit but this one dress. I did still have some toning that I needed to do for my abs, and I am so happy it fits again! I can tell BBG (Bikini Body Guide by Kayla Itsines) is paying off. I’ve been doing the BBG Stronger Program 5 times a week, and I weigh 2lbs less than what I did when I got pregnant. My goal now is to keep toning my stomach and really get some good ab definition going.
Anyway, that’s just a little update on our plans for the upcoming week and my workout routine/progress!
We went out on a date on Saturday! We went to Medici, which has always been one of our favorite restaurants, but we hadn’t been there since Georgia was born because the wait is usually really long. Greg was driving home from work on Saturday evening, though, and it was around 4 o’clock, and I thought I would call and see if they had any reservations left, and they did! We were so excited, and we all got dressed up and snapped some pictures before we headed out.
We sat outside, and it was the most beautiful night. Georgia and Greg’s eyes both looked so blue, and Georgia had rosy cheeks from the warm air. She sat in a highchair right between us, and we chatted, Greg had a beer, and had the yummiest dinner! I brought baby squash for Georgia, and I fed her in between bites of my turkey burger! It was just the best!
Here are our pictures from the 4th of July! We had the best day- we went to the parade by my Bebe’s house with my mom, dad, sister, brother, and my aunts and uncle and cousins, had such a fun lunch at my parent’s house (my mom ordered subs and made a yummy cake and my sister made the prettiest sugar cookies with firework swirls on them), and then, Greg grilled out in the evening at our house after we put Georgia to bed. I love celebrating holidays with family, and it was such a special day for Georgia’s first 4th of July!
She was so cute trying to pull her sunhat off by pulling it down, and the warm weather made her cheeks all rosy. She also loved getting to hold a cold water bottle straight from the fridge. It’s all these little things that I never ever want to forget. Gosh, I love being a mom more than anything in the world!
P.S. I can’t believe it is July 7th, and this is my first blog post of the month. I’m writing it now at 12:53 am because I haven’t been able to fall asleep tonight, and Georgia just woke up so I got up to rock her back to sleep, and I figured I could write my blog post now! Hopefully I will be able to fall asleep after this. 🙂 Also, I think I’m having trouble falling asleep because Georgia starts mommy and me swim lessons tomorrow, and I am just so excited!
Hope you all have a great Monday!
Here are our pictures from Mother’s Day! Greg, Georgia, and I went to Lincoln Park Zoo in the afternoon, and it was so fun. It wasn’t too busy because it was a little cloudy and cool. We bundled Georgia up, and looked at all of the animals. There were zebras, ducks, and lions- oh my! We even got to see the lions play with one another, which was super cute. Also, Georgia got to take her first ride on the merry-go-round!
After the zoo, we went to my parent’s house for a pizza party! It was the absolute cutest. My mom bought a fun, smiley face tablecloth and everything. We loved celebrating Mother’s Day all together, and we got to celebrate my mom’s birthday, too! I love singing Happy Birthday, it’s one of my favorite songs. Then, we had birthday cake and brownies for dessert, and we all played cards together in the evening. It was my mom and Kevin against me and Greg in spades, and my mom and Kevin beat us every time! Greg was getting so frustrated with me because I was having a hard time paying attention, and it was the funniest thing ever! We were all laughing so hard! We’ll get ‘em next time though, I’m ready! Lol.
Happy Monday, everyone! I just wanted to share my date night outfit from this weekend. It felt sooo good getting dressed up and going out to dinner with Greg and Georgia. I loved this skirt because it wrapped around and then tied at the waist. Also, I really believe that you can never go wrong with a turtleneck!
Anyway, we had so much fun at dinner. We went to Baxter’s, and we just had the best time talking, laughing, and being together! Georgia loved being out on the town, too!
Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a great start, or maybe your week hasn’t even started yet because it’s President’s Day. Either way, I hope your Monday is amazing because I know I am thoroughly enjoying mine.… Read More »
