Mother's Day

Mother's Day 5/8/11

Being Becca's Mother:

I have enjoyed every moment since she was born. 

I feel like it is going WAY too fast.

I love her laugh, her smile and her sweet kisses.

I am so proud to be her mother.

Becca was dedicated on Mother's Day at our Church.

 We are so blessed.

Easter Weekend

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

Ours was very relaxing. It started out early, on Thursday Gammie came by for a visit and brought some goodies.

Saturday Grandad and Mimi stopped by to see Becca in her new pool, Grandad could not resist but to give Becca some ice cream. Of course she loved it. I was so busy playing with Becca and catching up that I didn't get any pictures of Becca playing in the pool. I promise to get some next time.

Sunday we went to late Sunday service. Afterwards we went to Grandad's for Easter lunch.

That evening we had Easter Dinner at Deedee's and Grandpa's

Love her smile

Becca loved this porcelain dog at Grandad's and Deedee's house. It looks a lot like her real dog 

at home.

Overall, it was a wonderful spring weekend filled with family and love. I am looking forward to 

Becca's 1st Easter egg hunt next year.

7 months

" Hi, I'm new here"

(HAHA- blackmail when they get older)

Let's go Yankees 

(From her great Aunt Nancy from NY)

Yup, Becca is 7 months old! Well, she will be 8 months next week.

She has had a great month.

She crawls everywhere! She learned to pull herself up to standing!

People keep telling me she will be walking by 9 months and I just can't imagine my little baby girl walking!!!

I love her little personality. Wait, did I say little? I mean big personality. She is a happy baby. She loves kisses. She loves to laugh. She loves music and likes when her Daddy plays the guitar for her. She loves her dog Allie and is trying her best to show her that she just wants to be friends (Allie would still like us to "return" her and be our only baby). Becca is a very busy baby and really doesn't stop moving unless she is asleep.

She eats very well and really doesn't have one food she doesn't like. She would prefer to have finger foods all the time. She is still breastfeeding every 3 hours. We are trying to get her to use a sippy cup with mommy's milk, but it is still a work in progress. The next 5 months are going to be very busy. In June, Jason and I will be going to Mexico for my brother's wedding and will be leaving her with Jason's parents. I just can't imagine being without her for 72 hours, but I know she will be in amazing hands and Jason and I could use a mini vacation. In July, we get to go on a family vacation and are REALLY looking forward to the fun we will have at Lake Lure, NC.

On Becca's first birthday we will be attending Jason's cousin's wedding! We are so excited and can't wait.

We are looking forward to all the fun we are about to have in the next few months and will keep you posted with the details.

6 months

Wow! What a month! 

Becca is now 6 months old. Well, next week she will be 7 months! 

Becca is now 27 1/4 inches long and weighs 17lbs 2oz.

She is changing everyday. She can now roll over both ways, sit up, has 2 bottom teeth and can CRAWL!!!!

She eats about every 3 hours now and is eating baby food at breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

Her sleeping has changed a little. She sleeps for 8-9 hours and takes 2-3 naps a day.

I've heard six months is the best time with babies and I agree.

 I love watching her learn and laugh.

We took Becca for her first trip to the Zoo on St. Patrick's day. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Friday Faces 18 weeks

How adorable is she?

Becca is growing so fast and doing it so beautifully.

She had a doctors appointment yesterday that Daddy took her to because I was at home sick with the stomach flu.

She weighs 15lbs 1oz 

and is 25 1/2 inches long

She also got her second round of shots :( I am kind of glad I wasn't there for those. Hard to watch.

They also gave us the go ahead with starting with food!

I am looking forward to this because I think I am going to make her food homemade.
