3 months old!

Rebekah turned 3 months old on Saturday, but we were in Charlotte visiting my brother (more about that in the next post!) for his birthday, so I didn't take pictures till yesterday and am just now posting (obviously). Stephen has been out of town on a conference (poor guy had to spend almost a week in Puerto Rico at a beachside resort) and asked me if Rebekah has changed in a week. She's at that stage where they change almost daily, so I told him yes! Rebekah has become more vocal just in the last week, mostly right after waking up. She just has so much to say after being apart for so long! She is also smiling and laughing more for her... Rebekah doesn't smile all that much. She's a very content baby, and all, but she seems to be constantly observing the world around her, just trying to take it all in and is pretty serious about her learning! She's also starting to respond more to games like Pat-A-Cake and This Little Piggy. And she is trying to sit up pretty much all the time. If she is even at the slightest angle, she thinks she's going to be able to "crunch" up to a sitting position. It's pretty cute to see the look of determination and the tongue sticking out as she strains to sit up. She seems to be starting to figure out how to turn over, getting her head turned and her leg pulled over. Once she figures out how to get her arm tucked under, she'll be rolling! It won't be long! I am loving the special time I have with her in the mornings while Leah is at school. It's still such a new experience to have our baby not only look at us, but desire our attention. She loves eye contact and to be talked to. It's so different from Leah, who is only too content to be left alone to play by herself. We love both our girls and are thankful for their individual personalities. We praise God because they are both fearfully and wonderfully made!
