Picture Time :)

I finally got a chance, while we await Justin's return from his LAST SHIFT AT WENDY'S(!!!), to shrink and upload some pictures. :)

Rebecca hangs out on the floor by the table playing while we eat our breakfast, and most times she's pretty happy, though she's started getting into a lot of stuff lately, so I'm thinking we're going to need to contain her in a high chair so we can eat soon... which means we need to find her a high chair that I actually like! This takes a lot of work!



Justin thought it was funny when Rebecca reached for the shower rod... and then she started making the most priceless faces.


It's like you can just hear her thinking "this is really hard work!"


Justin has started carrying Rebecca around like this a lot, and he claims this is how fathers go bald... their babies supposedly pull the hair out!

...so I decided to be "artistic...

I introduced Rebecca to sidewalk chalk, and she thought it was pretty neat for a while...

then she decided to eat it,

looked at it suspiciously,

and tried eating it some more!

I was trying to get a picture of Rebecca SLEEPING on Justin, but she opened her eyes when I was taking the picture.

She just loves to pick things from the lawn, in this case a dandelion leaf, exmine, taste, and feel the things.

This is a blue-eyed grass flower. they actually have little balls for seed pods, but I really like the flowers, and they are all over our lawn in both the front and back yards.

And, the jolly jumper. I have to say, I think this is one of Rebecca's current favourite activities. She can turn herself to see all parts of the room, and she can bounce and see everything, without being on her tummy all the time.

As I mentioned, tonight was Justin's last shift at Wendy's, which is nice in a lot of ways. We like having Saturdays to use for our own leisure and pleasure, and him having to work was a pain a lot of times.

We went yard saling this morning, and ended up going to the thrift stores as well, in search of a few items. We didn't find what we were looking for, but I discovered that one of the thrift stores has an incredibly stocked children's book area, so we picked up some books for Rebecca for both now, and later. Some are board books, some are paper backs, but they're all really good classics, and books that teach something or other.

Rebecca had her 6-month appointment on Wednesday, and Dr. McLean feels she is doing well. She weighs somewhere between 15 1/2 and 16 lbs (not quite 16lbs yet for sure), is 24 inches long, and her head is measuring 16 3/4 inches now. The only problem with her measurement on the head dept. is the smallest bicycle helmet is for a 17 1/4 inch head, so the smallest we can get her is way too loose, and by law we can't take her on our bicycles with us unless she has a helmet on. We're pondering getting one of those really tiny helmets so we can simply say "she has a helmet on" and no one will question us (or ticket us!). She is very good at sitting up, which is the main thing when it comes to whether you should take a baby on the bike in one of those child seats or not, so there shouldn't be a problem on that at least.

Other than that, things are pretty much the same as always... I feel like I haven't much to talk about lately

For Now...

I thought I would throw a video of Rebecca in her new Jolly Jumper up. We were having the hardest time figuring out how to get one here, and as it turns out, it is only sold in Canada, so my parents found one in Halifax and sent it down for her. She seems to enjoy it a lot, though she often gets frustrated that it keeps her from getting the things that are on the floor (keeps me sane though, LOL)!

I am currently working on getting pictures shrunk down to size and all that fun stuff, and then I have like three weeks worth of pictures to put up! I'll be back later today or perhaps tomorrow with pictures. :-)
