Pictures of Georgia

I plan on adding captions here, I really do. I've had these pictures loaded all week, waiting for me to come back and write about how she is growing up and meeting her milestone; but I just can't seem to find the time. I have dishes in the kitchen waiting to be washed... maybe after that I can come back to this... until then you can see the pictures... that's what you want anyway. The captions are more for my memory's sake!

November 13th, Georgia was 8.5 months old.

This is about the time she really started crawling like a maniac. She had been mobile for months; but there is a difference between a baby that will crawl a few paces to get a desirable toy and the kid that just books. This was about the time Georgia started bookin'. It had been that shed just sit around and play with these plastic balls at PE-101,but in the above picture she was all over that place.

Thanksgiving: Brutal teething. Doesn't she look miserable? Well, despite this cheerful picture she was a mess that day. I gave her enough baby Tylenol to sink a battleship.

By the time this picture was taken in Florida, on December 9th, both of those front teeth had broken through the skin. Actually, they had probably been like this for half a week.

Seriously cruising. This picture was the first week in December. Here we are in early January and she is walking between furniture and standing without a prop for more than thirty seconds.

Her pretty party dress

You have to love the kissy-lips. This seems to be her go-to expression. I'm not sure what she's trying to express, but it sure is adorable. What's really funny is when she makes this face and sucks air in and out, making this cute little grunting noise.

She LOVES kissing.

She loves drawers...

...and stairs.
She climbed all the way to the top of our new stair case this week. Of course I followed right behind her to make sure she didn't plummet to her demise. She now is obsessed with the stairs and will take off to find them the second she's placed on the ground.

She also started clapping this month. I couldn't tell you when... but it's stinking cute, like the rest of her moves.

I'm pretty sure I must have done something wonderful in another life and that she is my reward.
