Georgia Kate is 10 Months Old!

Look who's 10 months old!!!

Such a big girl!
Her favorite dolly
Pulling herself up on everything!
Ready to get her monthly scans done
These two LOVE each other to pieces!
Mama's sweet girl
My little troublemaker
Weight: somewhere around 18 pounds...by some miracle, we haven't been to the pediatrician in quite some time!

Height: 29ish inches...still crazy tall!

What she's wearing: Size 3 diaper, 9-12 month clothes

Eating: Well, a miracle happened this month. Georgia finally decided she needed teeth...4 at once, to be exact! Yikes! Her two top and two bottom front teeth are all coming in at the same time. Despite making her cranky, she is finally able to bite off pieces of food. She basically eats everything we eat. She loves any breakfast food, applesauce, spaghetti, chicken and grapes, among many other things. She is no longer on bottles and takes all her milk from a sippy cup...such a big girl! She seems to be tolerating all the dairy we've tried well at this point. The only thing she's never had is straight cow's milk. Hopefully, her milk intolerance is a thing of the past!

Sleeping: She goes down around 7:00-7:30 pm and sleeps until 6:00ish am or whenever she wakes up. No more waking her up to nurse...yay!!!

Special Tricks: Georgia is a mover and a shaker! She crawls (really fast) and pulls herself up on everything. She can stand on her own for an incredibly long time, but so far, hasn't shown much interest in cruising around. She is happiest just buzzing around the house, looking for things to check out. The big news this month is that Georgia was discharged from physical therapy!! She is doing so well...you would never guess she ever had a muscular issue. She has no limitations in the movement of her neck at all anymore. Despite this good news, she did not make any progress on her scans this month. She is still right at 6.6 mm. This means we are not saying goodbye to the helmet just yet. Hopefully, she will hit a big growth spurt this month, and we will see a significant change in the measurements at her next appointment. Fortunately, the helmet has become second nature for us at this point so it's not too big a deal.

Activities: Georgia's favorite activity these days to just crawl around and explore. She's happy as can be going from room to room and seeing what there is to get into. She is still enamored with her big brother so she likes hanging out wherever he is. She also loves to look out the big windows in our living room and check out what's going on out in the world...or on our street, at least! Oddly enough, she is completely uninterested in the Christmas tree and decorations and pays absolutely no attention to them whatsoever. Whew!

Georgia has begun saying mama and dada this month, and it completely melts my heart. It's stinking adorable. Love her and her toothy grin to pieces!
