All over the place

G was crawling from one side of the house to the other tonight. She definitely is getting a lay of the land

The funniest moment was when she "crawled really fast" when she heard Rocky coming up behind her.

She played with her new (recycled-thanks neighbors!) table.

And now we are off!

Hmmmm. Let's check out these books.

Is there a fine if I bring it back late?

And then into the porch (after a short shot in the other living room).

Goodbye swing

Goodbye swing. Have to put you away until Georgia's little brother or sister comes along.

It is hard to believe...

Missed my girl

I came back from a three day trip today. I swear I miss my girl more and more every time I leave. She always looks bigger when I get back too!

Georgia is really cruising now. She walks herself along the edge of the couch and some bookshelves in our office. We are tying everything down this weekend!

Oh yeah...this is trouble.

Super cute trouble though.

Dirty birdy

Look what happens when little girls insist on feeding themselves.

Who needs a spoon? I have two perfectly good hands.

Yep, that was good.

O.K. I think I'm done now.

Mama's new friends

Friends of mine from Mexico sent some pics of us hanging out in the pool.

Oh, and here is a fun pic of G in techno.
Such a serious space alien with that fuzzy hair of hers.

Get up! Stand up!

So, I figured out how to take still pics with the movie camera. Here are some shots of Georgia practicing her new found hobby over the last few weeks, standing up.

Look at me Mama, I don't need any help.

Grrrunnnt. This is the hardest part.

Ta-Da!

Now look over here mama. See this little ledge.

GRRRUNNT!

Oh yeah. Look at me posing.

But my favorite thing to climb is you Mama!

Tats and Tots

We had lunch with the Weils yesterday. Thank goodness someone has a working camera!

Paul was nice enough to share his tats with Georgia. Look at those guns!

And of course we had to give a nod to the 90s.

Georgia was so excited to play with all the new toys.

She particularly liked the car...

And the baseball bat.

And a live concert featuring Shawn.

Pulling herself up

I was laying on the couch speed reading the newspaper this afternoon. Georgia was playing on the rug in front of me. She started to crawl towards me. Next thing I knew, these cute little eyes were peaking above the couch seat at me. She had pulled herself up to her knees. I gave her a big smile and said "good girl!" She then pulled her legs up underneath herself and stood! She was so pleased, standing holding on to the couch and started screeching like a wild bird at the top of her lungs. She did this about a dozen times today on two different couches. I can't believe how strong she is getting!

Unfortunately our camera is still broke, so no pictures to share.

A couple more mexico pics

The pics are slowly leading in from Mexico. Here are a couple more...

Georgia snoozing on the beach, spent from some serious rattle shaking...

View from my sisters balcony at the hotel.

Baby G and her Papa.

Another Inch. Another pound.

Georgia had to go to the Dr. on Friday. They were a little worried about a flat spot on her head but all is well. The big news is that she gained another inch and another pound! In just a couple of weeks. She is now 28 inches long and weighs 19lbs 2oz. Must have been that Mexican sun!

Georgia is also getting around quite well. She can easily drag herself from one room to the next and is staring to try and pull herself up on things. She particularly likes to pull books out of the bottom shelves in our living room and her room. We are hectically trying to baby proof the house. Hard thing to do when you have so many home improvement projects going on...

Still waiting for more Mexico pics from the fam... I've included a couple of others I had below.

View of our sitting area and balcony from the bed. The balcony had a jacuzzi tub, a hammock, two lounge chairs, and a table with a couple of chairs. We could have lived out there!

Georgia lounging by the beach.

Mexico

We spent the last week in Mexico for Justin and Dana's wedding. It was great fun. We got to see lots of family, fished, swam with the dolphins, boogie boarded, slid down the slide at our pool, spoke poor Spanish, went to the market, and drank lots of margaritas. Our camera broke, so we didn't get many pictures but lots of promises for more. Here are a few to start with.

The view from our bathroom window. All of the rooms as Brisas Del Mar overlooked the ocean. It was great!

Auntie Julie and Georgia looking fabulous!

And of course the newlyweds!

Mr. and Mrs. Roberts

Georgia, Brendan and I met up with my good friend Kevin from High School and his lovely new wife Emilia today. Thanks to Facebook I found out he had moved here in June! We had a great lunch and hope to see more of them!

Kevin (with half a smile) and Georgia. Already best friends.

Fun times!
