Rebekah's First Meal...
Today (Rebekah's five month birthday) we started solids. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but the child LOVED them! We did sweet potatoes first, and, let me tell you, this child thoroughly enjoyed eating! We didn't have any of the tongue thrust that you commonly see - she just ate the potatoes up!
Rebekah Jo is FIVE months old!
Sweet baby girl,
Yet another month has come and gone and you continue to insert yourself so seamlessly into our family! Everyone adores you, and I can't say I don't blame them. You are the sweetest thing and make the perfect addition to our family! We are almost half-way through your first year and we can't imagine our life without you. We love you to the moon and back baby girl!
Love,
Mommy
Weight: 12 lbs, 14 oz
Length: 25.31 inches!
Diaper size: Size 2
Teeth: Not yet!
Clothes size: Still in 3-6 month and 6 month clothes! It's good I kept some of your sister's summer 6 month clothes out because you've been wearing them quite a bit.
Sleep: Sleep has been hit or miss all month long... You'll have a couple good nights then a couple rough ones. Hopefully you will settle into a good routine in the near future!
Favorite activities/things: Sleeping, wiggling, smiling, talking, and eating. :)
Eating: You eat every 2-3 hours during the day, and every 3-4 hours at night... Mama needs some sleep baby girl!
Nicknames: Punkin' bear, Little Bit, RJ, Wiggles
Talking: You are quite the talker! Nothing new on this front this month, though.
New adventures: You got to go on your first plane ride this month! We flew to Florida to celebrate your Uncle Dustin getting married. You also go to dip your toes into the sand and ocean. It was pretty chilly!
New Skills: You are rolling back to belly now!

Rebekah Jo is FOUR months old!
Sweet Rebekah Jo,
Today you are four months old! This month has flown and drug by at the same time... You haven't been letting us get much sleep, which has been really hard on Mommy. But you're so cute and make up for it during the day with your smiles and coos! Everyone still adores you and wants to spend all their time with you, which has been good for Mommy! You're doing really well in school and have really started to love your teachers, as evidenced by the smiles you give them (you don't smile for just anyone...). I can't wait to see what the next month holds - hopefully more sleep. ;)
Love,
Mommy
Weight: 12 lbs, 4 oz... We've definitely dropped off percentile wise in the weight gain. Praying we just caught her mid-growth spurt! She's growing great length wise, just need her weight to catch up a bit...
Length: 24.75 inches!
Diaper size: Size 2
Teeth: Not yet!
Clothes size: Still in 3-6 month and 6 month clothes! It's good I kept some of your sister's summer 6 month clothes out because you've been wearing them quite a bit.
Sleep: We hit a major sleep regression towards the end of the month... You are still not the greatest napper. We had started getting a pretty consistent 2 1/2-3 hour afternoon nap, but lately, someone has had to hold you for you to nap more than 30 minutes. Nighttime has also been a struggle. You went from a dream feed at 10 and one wake-up to a dream feed at 10 and waking up every 2-3 hours... I'm ready to get some sleep again...
Favorite activities/things: Sleeping, wiggling, smiling, talking, and eating. :)
Eating: You eat every 2-3 hours during the day, and every 3-4 hours at night... Mama needs some sleep baby girl!
Nicknames: Punkin' bear, Little Bit, RJ, Wiggles
Talking: You are quite the talker! Nothing new on this front this month, though.
New adventures: You got to meet your other cousins this month! They loved you and you loved getting all the attention!
New Skills: You are still rolling belly to back and getting even closer to back to belly! You've also found your hands and LOVE to eat them!

Christmas Part Two
We went to Abilene the next afternoon to celebrate Christmas with Alan's family. Unfortunately, my camera died, so I didn't get to take more than one or two pictures. My sweet mother-in-law did, so I'll be able to add pictures at a later point.
We had a great time visiting with Grammie and PawPaw! Grammie watched the big kids at night and Alan and I actually got to catch up on some sleep! RJ did a great job sleeping in her pack and play and was a dream to get down/stay down at night! I even snuck in a nap during the day on Saturday. We were able to head back to College Station feeling rested and refreshed!
The big kids loved playing with all their toys, especially the Legos!
I can't wait to see the pictures the Debbie took and share them with you all.

Christmas Part One...
With all the traveling we were planning on doing, we celebrated Christmas as a family December 17. The kids had a blast opening presents! We did it in the evening, so sweet Rebekah was ready for bed, but the big kids loved all the craziness. Alan and I have decided to give the kids four presents each - something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. Elizabeth really got the concept of that this year and was kept asking what category each present fell into.

Rebekah Jo is Three Months Old!
Rebekah Jo-
You are three months old now! That's 1/4 of a year old. My how time is going by fast! Your little personality is slowly starting to emerge and we couldn't be any more in love with you. The entire family adores you, especially your big brother and big sister! They always want to be right there with you and it is absolutely precious to see just how much they love you. I can't wait to see what the next month brings!
Love,
Mommy
Weight: 12.5 pounds. Right on track with your big brother!
Length: Somewhere between 24-25 inches
Diaper size: Size 2
Teeth: Not yet!
Clothes size: You moved into 3-6 month and 6 month clothes about 10 days before you turned 3 months old. You seem to be really long (you get that from your Daddy)!
Sleep: You are still sleeping great at night! You nurse and go down for the night between 7:30-8:00, we do a dream feed around 10:00, you wake up between 2:45-5:45, then go back to sleep. You typically wake up for the day between 7:15-7:45. There have been a couple rare nights that you sleep until 7ish, but for the most part you still wake up once at night. I'll count that as a win! You still aren't the greatest napper, but at least you're sleeping well at night!
Favorite activities/things: Sleeping, wiggling, smiling, talking, and eating. :)
Eating: You eat every 2-3 hours during the day, and once at night.
Nicknames: Punkin' bear, Little Bit, RJ
Talking: You are quite the talker! You've started to add in some consonants, mainly "g," but I've also heard "b" a couple times.
New adventures: We traveled to Abilene, Texarkana, and Houston for Christmas! You are quite the champ in the car. Most of the trips we only had to stop once to feed you and you slept the rest of the way!
New Skills: You can roll over from your back to belly. You are also so close to rolling belly to back. However, you still aren't a HUGE fan of being put down, so you don't get as much practice as you probably should...
