8 Month Update

YAY 8 Months!

I think this is a record - posting the monthly update merely one day after her actual monthly birthday! Rebekah hit the 8 month mark yesterday, and it sure has been a fun month!

This little girl has scoped out every inch of our house. You turn your head and she's into something else. Her reach is getting higher and higher each day, which continually poses new challenges for us. I'm amazed by her curiosity.


Rebekah moved up to the next room at daycare at the beginning of April. The typical move up age is 8 months, but she was crawling around so much in the baby room, which is not made for crawlers at all! I was miserable watching her be miserable as she had to hang out in swings and exersaucers for much of the day (they have a video monitor I can see online). I asked if she could move up early and was so grateful the day care could make it work. She spent a whopping 2 days there, and has been out for almost 2 weeks now with my weird work schedule and her off and on illnesses. She goes back on Tuesday, and I think she's ready to play with her friends again! :)

She has a giggle that is just contagious.

If you get her belly just the right way, she will squeal and scream and laugh. Just this week we started a new game where I hide around the corner and she comes to find me....she just can't stop giggling when she finds me!

And I love watching her and her daddy play and laugh in the evenings after dinner - it's my favorite time of day.


We also decided to join the Dallas Arboretum this year! We can take up to 6 people with us, so let me know if you want to go sometime! We went on the last day of the annual Dallas Blooms festival with Adam's parents (aka Grammy and Grampy). We couldn't find any tulips (the hallmark image of the Dallas Blooms pictures), but we we able to get some good family photos.


You can see all the pictures from our picnic at the Arboretum here.

Well, here are the rest of the 8 month pictures - there are definitely some fun and some crazy ones in there:

And of course, the Rebekah and the Bee photos have been updated as well.

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter today! We sure had a great Easter weekend. Pictures of that will be coming soon as well, but I have an essay to write and some work hours to make up (from taking care of the sick little girl), so it may be a bit before I get around to them. Until then, I hope you enjoyed the latest little update!
