So I posted on Monday because Rebecca started rolling. Didn't think we'd have more updates to make just 2 days later. But we do. Rebecca's first tooth has come through!! (got a picture, though it's hard to get a good one when she wants to eat your fingers :)...see the white dots just to the left of my finger, below her tongue) I didn't even notice it until yesterday. And today I realized it's already through. No wonder she's been drooling so much...and chewing on everything in sight. Where has my little girl gone? She's also starting to sit up much better. And she has outgrown her pack 'n' play bassinet. She'll be outgrowing her swing and her front carrier before we know it!
Rebecca is 5 months old today. According to our inaccurate scale she's around 17 1/2 lbs. Could be close to 18. Hard to be exact (it's not digital). And she's about 24" long. So she's still gaining plenty of weight, but not getting much longer yet. Hopefully she'll start the opposite trend soon so we don't have to buy new clothes for a little while. She definitely takes after Daddy in the weight/height department right now. So she'll probably thin out like him too :)
She has her 6 month check up on Oct. 21. We'll get more accurate stats then. And more shots :( Not fun to do, but we want to keep her healthy :)
As we approach another fall/September we marvel at how God has blessed us. It's been 2 years since Mary's surgery. She's feeling better than she ever thought possible back then (and cherishing every ice cream cone she eats:). It's been just over 1 year since we came to a bright spot in our struggle with infertility and found out we were pregnant. And this fall we have a strong, healthy, smart little girl. We can't wait to see what He has in store for us in the future!
There are more pics in the September album.

Yay for the first tooth!!! :) I'm glad she didn't have to suffer as many months as Carson had to before his tooth came in (we could see it for like 3 months before it finally popped through!). She's growing up so fast! So many new things in one week's time - just amazing to see all the changes isn't it?
