We are obviously back home here in cold Iowa…we are just now starting to feel colder weather, altho it’s not bad because the days are still in the 30′s and it’s beautiful! The negative temp’s and cold winds on dreary days are when I’ll need your prayers!
So, Rebekah has started bananas and butternut squash- still taking everything I put in her mouth, altho I realized that she wasn’t getting as much of my milk b/c I was feeding her solids first, so we switched the order and the result is that she is eating fewer solids at breakfast, but the same at other times…hmmm…anyway, she is a great eater and getting better at holding the sippy cup (water). No teeth or anything, but she is sitting!! I am not at a point where I can leave her sitting all by herself w/o a protective barrier just so I can snag a pic or I’d have pics…next blog, I promise! Josh and I will work on it together! Other news, she is still getting over a cold- maybe her 3rd or so and has quite a runny nose. She has risen to the challenge of getting her nose sucked in that she doesn’t scream in agony every time…what is it with moms so determined in picking their kids’ noses?
Here are some good ones I thought you’d enjoy…
Josh gets home at 5:15 or so and he plays with Rebekah while I cook dinner (he gave me awesome knives and cookware for Christmas and his sister, Sarah, gave me a Rachael Ray cookbook, so I am loving cooking even more!). We have been having our first “family” dinners since we got home in that we all eat at the table together. Rebekah is still in shock that she’s doesn’t get her food shovelled in her mouth as quickly, but I think she’ll survive. (fun side note- Rebekah LOVES getting her mouth wiped b/c she delights in licking the paper towel as it swipes by…)
We’re still trying to figure her out and how to avoid 5pm fussiness- as you can see, Josh is the master!
Josh also bathes Rebekah while I do dishes (that’s the way I like it b/c he gets more time with her, and honestly would I have thought to put a washcloth on her head or make her sit in a tub the day she learned to sit?!)
This was at the grocery store- I couldn’t resist! Truly is there a cuter girl in the world? (the answer is no!)
