It seems like just yesterday that I was writing the post titled "Georgia at Nine Months"...actually, it was only two weeks ago, because I waited until her 9 month check up to post:-) Every time I do a monthly rundown, I talk about how fast she is growing and how quickly time flies, so I will not go over that again.
Let's talk about what Georgia is doing:
1). She is crawling everywhere, and as fast as she can! Georgia can quickly exhaust me by her movement through the apartment.
2). She is talking--a LOT!!!--though not often using words we can understand. She does say Mama and Dada and "Uh-Oh" very clearly, but seldom on command. We have noticed her associating MAMA with me and DADA with Nathan more oftne. One morning a few days ago, she reached her hands towards me, giggled and said "Ooh, Mommy!" That was fun. The "Uh-Oh" game is one of her favorites: she drops an item on the floor and says "Uh-Oh" and waits for Mommy or Daddy to pick it up.
3). She climbs the stairs at record speed, and once or twice has thought about trying to go down them.
4). She pulls up on anything and everything--the side of the bathtub, the couch, the laundry basket, her daddy! For just a few seconds tonight she was standing upright without holding onto anything. I don't think she even realized she did it.
5). She can hold her sippy cup and tilt it up to drink now. She had been able to hold it for a while, but not tilt it up to get her drink, which would just frustrate her. Georgia frequently reaches for the spoon when I try to feed her, so the attempts at self feeding are not far away!
In other news, this is the first full week of classes for Nathan. Today was SEBTS' first chapel service and convocation(listen to Dr. Akin's sermon here.). Nathan marched with faculty for the first time ever! I took pictures of the processional, but they didn't turn out too well. Instead, a picture of Nathan hobnobbing with other faculty while waiting for the march over to the chapel will have to suffice. Have I mentioned how excited we are that Nathan is on faculty here at SEBTS? We are truly blessed!

Back to Georgia---Here are some fun pictures!
I was feeding her green beans, and they ended up all over her face and in her hair! She still doesn't like them too much!
More adventures in eating : This is how Georgia chews a Cheerio: with her mouth wide open!
G wants to stand and pull up on everything. Tonight she was tickled beyond belief at being able to pull up on the tub and watch as we filled her baby bathtub with water. Now if I could just keep her from trying to stand while she is IN the bathtub....
Compare Georgia's size now with a similar picture from several months ago.
This is Georgia right before she goes to bed--isn't she beautiful?
Who knew toothbrushing could be so much fun? Georgia loves her toothbrush; I brush her teeth with it and then let her chew on it some.

Congratulations to Nathan! Looking all official in his robe and his spiffy office. And I am starting to see more and more of *you* in Miss Georgia's sweet little face!
