Guess who's 2 months old!

I wonder who?
Ohhh... It's me!!
Rebekah Joy is 2 months old! Sometimes it's hard to believe it's already been 2 months, and sometimes I feel like she has been here forever. I know they say having 2 kids is way more than doubling your work, stress, etc. and I guess maybe we'll hit that point in a few months when she becomes mobile. But, for right now we are enjoying our sweet girls: establishing routines, getting to know each other and starting some sisterly bonding. Now, when they are close and Leah hears Rebekah cry or coo, she reaches out to touch her. And Rebekah really likes to watch her big sister play. We are looking forward to watching that relationship continue to grow and are continuously thanking God for blessing us with another little girl to be best friends with our special Leah. We are starting to get into a good routine and are beginning to establish our napping schedule. Rebekah likes to sleep in her cradle, but wants to be rocked almost to sleep before being put down. She loves to be talked to and enjoys having eye contact. This is something new for us (obviously) and we are having to remember to actually look at her. She is starting to smile a lot and I think it won't be too long before we have our first giggles. (Leah will love this as children laughing is one of her favorite things to hear!) Rebekah is our precious bundle of joy! (BTW "Bundle" is Rebekah's official nickname)
Precious face. Wouldn't you want to look at that all day?!
She has started sucking on her pointer finger (like her Uncle Joe)

Sweet smiles while snuggling down to sleep

  1. Loving the update and loving your new camera lens! Or maybe Rebekah Joy is just really cute (that's probably it)! Isn't eye contact wonderful? I know it's a slightly new world...for all of you.
