18 Month Checkup

On 12/31 we took Rebecca to her 18 month checkup. Great news all around- she only needed 1 shot (mommy ended up getting 2 shots for the flu) and she got a clean bill of health. Her height is 32 inches (55th percentile) and her head is 47 cm (70th percentile). But, the best news is that after a year, she is FINALLY BACK ON THE GROWTH CHART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She weighed 21lbs and 8 oz which is the 15th percentile. We are thrilled to say the least- no more pediatric gastro specialist and we are back in the "normal" range (for what it is worth).

Here is a photo of her lounging in her new bean bag that daddy saw & couldn't resist buying for Becks and some of her playing outside today (she was having quite a wild hair day!).

Fun at Elle's House

I just had to post these pictures of Becks in the car- she kept saying "more, more" when Elle would stop driving.

We had a whirlwind of a time in Atlanta. Flew in on xmas eve and came back on the 30th. Spent tons of time with the family- Great Grandma Chris came down, Grandma Sue, Uncle Brian, Aunt Amy, and cousins Katie and Megan. Mommy and daddy also got some adult time with Mommy's high school and college friends. We also saw some of Daddy's college friends. Rebecca got to see her friends Ethan and Elle too. Here are some photos to enjoy! Rebecca had a blast!

Thanks eveyone - we had an awesome time!!!

Rebecca's Half Birthday

On Friday the 18th, Rebecca turned 18 months old- halfway between 1 and 2. She has been feeling pretty yucky with the pukies, but she still managed to eat some cake. I asked her what she liked better- the cake or the singing ("happy half birthday") and she said she liked the singing best!

Visit from Kevin & Naomi

Mommy's best friends since elementary school and her husband were in town this past week. Kevin and Naomi came in town for his job's holiday party. We saw them several nights and they spent Friday and Saturday with us. Thanks for the visit- we had a great time! Can't wait to see them more in Atlanta (with Elle!).

Reading in our Rocking Chair

Rebecca has been taking books up on her rocking chair and "reading" them at night before we read to her. It is super sweet seeing her climb up with book after book and flip through the pages while telling herself the stories.
