22- Happy Valentine's Day

Rebecca is 5 months!

This weekend she started rolling over onto her stomach to play. Excuse me, what? She has never been a fan of tummy time but all of the sudden she seems to enjoy being on her stomach as most as much as being on her back. She will get tired of it and hasn't figured out rolling back over yet. :)



We have had a big week! Matt is a member of the graduate student parent's association and we were chosen via lottery for free baby sitting this semester. We went to a dinner last Sunday to meet with other parents and for speed dating with the sitters. We haven't tried it out yet, but I'm excited, we met some nice girls.



Monday was Valentine's Day! It seems most people either love Valentine's Day or could really care less. I love it! I just love a day for pink and hearts, etc. Matt got me some baby bites (my favorite!) and I got him some premium beers. Because nothing says I love you like premium beers.



Good morning! Mary Martha came for a visit. She was only here for a night but we loved having her!



The weather was beautiful again this weekend! Our friends Kelsey and Clark came over on Saturday and we grilled out. Hi Mr. Clark!



And here is Rebecca on our walk yesterday. Such a cutie!!

21- Roll Over

Rebbeca will be 21 weeks tomorrow!

We have had a good week and a great weekend. Yesterday we went to the Alabama basketball game with some friends.



I wasn't sure what Rebecca would think of all the loud noise but she did great!



And today is beautiful, 67 degrees! We went for a walk this morning. So cute!



Here is one close up. Please excuse the runny nose. That just started yesterday and I'm really hoping it doesn't turn into anything more.



And, most exciting of all, Rebecca just rolled over! I set her down on her back and she rolled onto her stomach and pulled her head up all by herself. Such a big girl!

20- The Bluff

Rebecca is 20 weeks old today!

We have had a big week.



Rebecca laughed! At least we think she did when Matt was blowing on her stomach after her bath. I think I've also heard her one time since then. When I was changing her diaper I got a distinct Ha...Ha...Ha!



This weekend we went to the Bluff to visit Christina and Sands.



It was great! Very relaxing, we played games, did some puzzles, played with Rebecca, ate some great meals.



Such a pretty place!



When we got back from the Bluff we watched the game with friends from Matt's program.



Rebecca's first super bowl. This is her second outfit of the night. She blows out her diapers and when she does we like to call it a wardrobe malfunction.



So cute! I hate I didn't take any pictures with a real camera again this week. Here we were trying to compare Rebecca to the Gerber baby on the tag and even in this blurry picture you can tell she is way cuter! :)

19- Four month check up

Rebecca is 19 weeks old!

She is doing great! She has really started sleeping this week and it has been great!!



Rebecca had her 4 month check up on Thursday and she's doing fine. She is in the 80th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height. She had her first cold last week and we were relieved to find out it hadn't turned into anything more serious.



The weather this weekend was wonderful! Here we are at Innis Free on Saturday. Matt got to play golf Saturday morning and we grilled out with some friends that night.



Our little supermodel.

18- Daycare

Rebecca is 4 months old! I can hardly believe it!



She is such a happy baby. She loves to smile and play with us. She is growing more and more everyday. I love the look on her face when she "discovers" her toys, apparently they are fascinating. She has also starting "talking". She squeaked for pretty much the entire ride to daycare this morning.



Speaking of daycare, here is Rebecca in her big girl clothes. Ready to go! She seems to be doing fine with it. Her teachers all say she has the best disposition. It's been harder for me. I like my new job but I just miss her so much.



I just look forward to the weekend even more now. Here she is with Matt on Saturday. He will sing for her and it always makes her smile.



Wheeeee!

17- Funny Face

Rebecca is 17 weeks today!

I have taken no real pictures this week but I do have some from my phone.

We've had a great week! Big events this week include an ice storm on Monday, happy hour with Matt's classmates on Friday and our friend Emily's 30th birthday celebration on Saturday. We stayed with our friends, Chris and Ashley, in Birmingham. Ashley and I went out with the girls to celebrate Emily's birthday and Chris and Matt kept Rebecca. They did great!

School started for Matt. He taught his first class on Wednesday, Accounting 210. I think it's going well, it's the big intro to accounting class that everyone has to take and all Matt really has to do is lecture. He's also working on his first year paper and some kind of project on the fraud triangle/diamond.

I got a job!! I'm going to be working in the accounting department of a local company, Afflink. I'm excited about it, I start on Thursday. I will really miss spending my days with Rebecca but I knew this day would come and I'm so ready to be done with COBRA payments.

Rebecca seems to be doing great at daycare. It's been pretty hard for me but I know she's at a great place. She is as cute as ever!



Goochie, goochie, goo! Now that Rebecca moves around so much more, it seems all the pictures I get of her these days are sort of blurry.



Excited! I'll sit Rebecca in her Bumbo while I'm in the kitchen and she seems to really like it. She also does pretty well in it when we sit her on the table with us for dinner.



Rebecca loves this Auburn music box Grandma and Pops got for her last week. It plays part of the fight song and Rebecca will be still and smile whenever we play it. She already loves Auburn, I think it's a sign she will be going there one day. Sorry Matt.



And here is Rebecca this morning before daycare. I love this funny face!

16- Grandma and Pops

Rebecca is 16 weeks! Such a cutie!!

After getting a little behind over the holidays, my New Year's resolution is to update my blog once and week. I'm also now giving real titles to each post.



Exciting happenings this week include having our friends Kelsey, Clark and Bradley over for dinner and the Ohio/Arkansas game.



Auburn winning the national championship! War Eagle!! I know Rebecca is not even in Auburn clothes in this picture but it's a cute one.



And most exciting, a visit from Grandma and Pops!



We had a great time! Rebecca loved all the attention.



Family photo. Rebecca loves her playmat! This was a big weekend for her. She started grabbing for toys and pulling them into her mouth. She also started raising her feet up and slamming them down when she's on her back. She'll sometimes end up on her side doing this.



She's also doing better on her tummy. She had a record today of 15 minutes. Speaking of records, I forgot to mention the Christmas miracle in my last posts. Rebecca has started sleeping 7 hours! To me that is sleeping through the night, it's awesome.



Me and my girl.
