Growing Girl

We've had a full few weeks, including Georgea's 15 month visit to her Pediatrician. It's hard to believe we've been together for 3 and a half months now. Georgea is in the 95th percentile for height & 60th percentile for weight on the Chinese growth chart. Our girl is tall! She's also crawling like crazy now. This is something we worked hard to accomplish & we have checked that box, no question! She is all over the place.

An update on my Mom. She is home from rehab and has recovered well from the brain surgery. Mom is currently going through radiation treatments, and will continue to do so 5 days a week for the next 6 weeks if all goes well, and she is able to continue to tolerate the treatments. My Mom's condition is not cureable, however the radiation should help keep the growth of additional tumors at bay for awhile and for this we are thankful. She has been very brave with regard to her surgery & treatment. I love and admire her so much.

Breakfast on the patio. Blueberries are Georgea's favorite fruit, thus the telltale purple lips!
I love the breeze blowing through her "bed head" hair.

Georgea has discovered Vida's water bowls. We really have to keep an eye on her these days. She's into everything. :-)

Saturday brunch. Georgea holding her own cup. We had to capture this on film because it still doesn't happen all that often. Our baby girl likes to be "babied", and we're not sweating the small stuff right now.

Daddy's girl. Georgea "dives" into her Daddy's arms when he reaches for her. Really precious to see.

Another gorgeous, sunny day. I love living in Arizona, even in the summer. The sky is so blue it's hard to have a down day living here.

Girly-girl. This sweet dress was a gift from Aunt Lisa & Uncle Randy. I love dressing the princess.


Baby girl found Mama in the shower. Love the Juicy Couture bloomers. From Aunt Lil', of course.

Exploring the kitchen...


On the move!

Getting ready to watch the Volunteers with Daddy!

After the game. :-(

Visiting Aunt Becky at school. Georgea LOVES books!

Well welcome back! Thanks for the candid update on Mom - we'll keep her in our thoughts and prayers. As for your DD - wow what a girl! You better get some good running shoes - shortly you'll need them to keep up!

And thanks - for not sweating the small stuff - I tended to worry about that small stuff with our first 3 - and as a result probably did something of a 'dis-service' to those kids (It's cool - they've forgiven me!) :) Way easier this time having realized that the small stuff really is just that - yeah - way easier (or "more better" as Braelyn would say!)

hugs - aus and co.

She is adorable!!! We are in TN and Daddy is a UT grad so you know we love the hat : ) At first I thought you had adopted from Vietnam as she looks Vietnamese but I notice she is from Guangxi (one of our best friends is too) I am sure you get that a lot with Guangxi being so close to Vietnam : )

Congrats on 3 months..it really does fly by so enjoy it. We have been home with our daughter from China for almost 4 years and our son from Vietnam for almost 1 year!
