If I were to create a wish list for Georgia,

which, of course, I wouldn't, because that would be COMPLETELY tacky;
but IF I were to create a Christmas wish list for Georgia, it would probably look something like this:

1. Socks--You can never have enough socks, and since Georgia is now walking around all the time, her little toes need to be covered!
2. Footed Sleepers--Basically since she was four or five months old she has worn onesies to bed. Now that it is turning colder, and she is MUCH too big to be swaddled, she needs footies to keep her cozy during those cold nights. And, what is cuter than a baby in pjs?
3. Big girl utensils and plates--Georgia eats a lot of finger foods right now, and we will be transitioning to using utensils soon. She needs plates and chunky 'things' that she can easily grab with her chubby little fingers.
4. Lift-the-Flap books--Georgia got a "Little People: Lift-the-Flap Little Farm" book for her birthday, and she LOVES it! She sat with her daddy for over ten minutes looking at this book, and that's a record. Any books that involve lifting flaps, or touching textures, etc., is a huge hit for her.
5. Chunky Puzzles--We don't have any puzzles. That's a good reason for Georgia to need one on her list:-)
6. Basic long sleeve shirts/tops--Georgia has several cute outfits, but could use a couple more plain long sleeve t-shirts that can be worn under jackets outside but won't be too hot inside. Our townhome is much warmer upstairs in her room than downstairs, so it is good to wear layers:-)
7. Money--That seems so impersonal and heartless, but money is always useful. It could be designated for short-term costs, like diapers, clothes, or food. OR it could be set aside for long-term goals, like braces, or her first car, or college expenses.
Of course, since I am NOT making a wish list for Georgia, none of the above really matter:-)
