Wonderful Easter Weekend

We have had the best weekend. The weather was fantastic and Rebecca was a doll. Mimi was right; 6 months really is the best. Rebecca is so happy. She is making new sounds and sitting up all by herself. We took a lot of great pictures over the weekend.

See what the Easter Bunny brought me.


I'm ready for the beach, dude!

Maybe it was the teeth?

Yep! We got some teeth. Saturday morning there was nothing in Rebecca's mouth, and by 7:30 that night, she had two teeth. So maybe all of Rebecca's strange behaviors were because of teething. Right now they are too small to get a good picture of them, but I will post one as soon as I can.

In other news, Rebecca loves rocking on her hands and knees. She has also gotten really good at sitting up. We still tumble over, but not nearly as often as she was.

6 Months and on the Move

Okay, well not exactly on the move, but she is close. But first things first, Rebecca is 6 months old today. I can not believe that she is half of a year. I know I have said it before, but time flies. Before you know it, she will be off to LSU (ha!).

We had her 6 month check-up with Dr. Knox. He said she looked perfect and that she was a beautiful baby. DUH! I could have told him that!

Here are her measurements:

Head Circumference: 44cm 75-90%

Height: 26in. 50-75%

Weight: 16.12lbs. 50-75%

The nurse that measured her said that she was very symmetrical. Oh, and she passed her eye exam.

Now, as for the on the move part, Rebecca is really trying to crawl. In fact, I think she might crawl before she can sit on her own. Yesterday at Gymboree she started trying to get her knees up under her. As soon as we got home, I had to make a video. It is adorable.

Trying so hard to pull up.

I thought these pictures were funny; Rebecca's Daddy did not. This is how I find her when she wakes up these days.

Teething

It seems to me that any out-of-sorts behavior that an infant (ages 3 months to 9 months) has can be blamed on teething. Not sleeping? Teething. Not eating? Teething. Fussy? Teething. Drooling? Oh, she must be teething. Making funny faces? That's got to be teething. Putting everything in her mouth? Teething. Pooping a lot? Yep, you guessed it, it's teething. Rebecca has experienced all of these behaviors in her almost 6 months of life, and yet there are no signs of a tooth. It's like an Easter Egg Hunt every day. I go searching for that golden egg, but find nothing. It will be a happy day when that little egg, aka a tooth, appears. Until then, teething will get blamed for everything.
