Lubbock Trip to Meet Cooper

Rebekah and I took at trip to Lubbock in May meet the new nephew Cooper. He was almost a month old by the time we were able to make it! It was so much fun to hold a little bitty baby again! :) He's the best little kid just cries when he wants so food and sleeps and looks around.


It was really fun to see Rebekah and Landon play together. Well, not really together, but with the same toys. :)

There was dancing...


And snacking...


And riding in the car together

(she looks so big!!)

Playing at the Science Museum


And eating Chick-fil-a Chicken!


(Rebekah's first Chick-fil-a experience was also with Aunt Angie and cousin Landon)



There are more pictures of the fun - especially the fun toys at the Science Museum. Check them out here:

9 Month Update (almost a month late)

With Rebekah's 10 month birthday looming in the next week, I am finally getting to post her 9 month update. We finally conquered some of the IT issues we were having in the house, so I'm able to get the photos and video up a bit easier.

At her 9 month checkup, Rebekah was 16 lb (9%) and 28.25 in (78%) and her head is 16.5 in (5%) She's just an itty bitty thing. She still has no teeth, but is a good eater!!...What's up doc?


Rebekah is totally on the move. She figured out how to hold onto things and move around. She seems to be getting taller everyday.

Trying to figure out the cabinet door...it took her about another month (but that's for the 10 month update!)

We had a fun night out at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parish celebration. My parents were supposed to join us, but they were in Lubbock helping out with the new nephew! The Kallaugher's had a good time with us instead!


My favorite thing is her silly giggles! We have so much fun laughing and playing (click to see video)


We had a bit of sadness this month as we said goodbye to our friends, the Corbins, who moved from Dallas. Rebekah will miss her friend Benji and Adam and I will miss Matt & Meili! Here's an album with some of our fun times with them the last week before they left.

Of course, the bee photos are updated with the latest shots.

Here's the album with several more 9 month photos and video:

I still have pictures from our Lubbock trip and from my birthday, and will have Father's Day shots after this weekend! Hopefully I can get all this up before her 10 month birthday on the 23rd!

Our 1st Mother's Day with Rebekah

Well, Mother's Day has been over a month ago, and I have so many photos to catch you up on! This was, of course, our first mother's day with Rebekah and we had such a great time!

We spent the Sunday before Mother's Day with Adam's mom. We ate at their house then went to ride the carousel at Grapevine Mills Mall. Rebekah loved it!!


Then on Mother's Day, Adam made me a wonderful breakfast (with Rebekah's help, of course)!!


We went to Mass


Then spent the day with my family!


I absolutely love being Rebekah's mom! This was the most wonderful celebration I could have imagined for the gift she has given me by being able to be a mom. I look forward to so many more Mother's Days!!

You can see all our Mother's Day pictures in the album here:
