This next Sunday Rebekah is officially old enough to go to Nursery. How is it even possible that this girl was born 18 MONTHS ago?! That seems like that took almost NO time! She is clearly showing us that she wants to be a big girl and I am mostly thrilled, but one teeney weeney bit sad. With this "Milestone" I thought I would put up a few current pictures of my darling girl and a few of her antics these days!
Rebekah before church a few weeks ago. I have never seen her give herself such a HUGE self-admiring grin in the mirror as when I put this kerchief on her head! She and I both giggled about it for a while. In the end she was so excited about her "hat" that it wasn't going to stay on for any length of time and I ended up putting barrettes into her hair instead.

Rebekah can now pull herself up to the piano (and everywhere else!) She is really pleased with this newest accomplishment. I have a feeling she will probably have a pretty strong interest in learning this instrument-- she LOVES to sit and play several times each day without getting distracted. (Who does that remind you of Millie?!)
I wouldn't have guessed my high chair would look like this (empty) so soon, but it is true: Rebekah is too good for the high chair. She has been pushing for this advancement for the last few months, and I finally got tired of the fight and asked (told) Burke to bring home another booster seat. When she woke up the morning after he brought it home, I didn't even have to tell her it was for her--she knew! "Mine chair!!" She repeated over and over again :)
Don't let the pacifier fool you-- this here is a big girl now!
She just looks so grown up to me here :)

Looking around the dinner table with all four of us seated there feels so good to me--we are learning and growing together. We have our ups and downs. We share laughter and tears. We help each other. We work together. We play together. Now we eat together. I guess that makes it official--We are a family.
