Calvin Basketball

We went to a Calvin basketball game yesterday afternoon. Grandpa and Grandma Holleboom were there too...since they are now season ticket holders :) It was Rebecca's first basketball game :) She enjoyed seeing all the people. As usual she took it all in. She is back to her happy, playful, smiley self. We enjoyed visiting the new sports complex at Calvin. Very impressive. Although it hardly felt like we were at Calvin. We all wore our Calvin gear in support of our alma mater :) It was fun to go to a sporting event again. It's rare (especially for Mary) since we can't go to evening events these days. We're hoping to go to another game in February. Hopefully the weather will be a little better that day.

Rebecca cut another tooth this week. 1 down, 3 to go! She now has 3 on top and 2 on the bottom. She's really enjoying "chewing" her Cheerios with the few teeth she has. She gets a big smile on her face when she bites into one. She also tried yogurt bites today. Those are fun to chew/gum too.

Rebecca's latest thing is "so big." If you say "How big is Rebecca?" she'll put her hands up for "so big." So cute :) She'll do it over and over. Gotta keep practicing :)

Rebecca and Mary stayed home from church again today. She still has a cough, so she could be contagious yet. Don't want to get anyone in the nursery sick. Hopefully the cough and remaining congestion will be done soon. Other than that she's totally back to her normal self. It's great to see her smile and play so much again. And to hear her little laugh...even if it is a big hoarse right now :)

The "so big" is so cute! Looks like you guys had fun at the game on Saturday! Hope the weather wasn't too bad for the outing and for your parents' drive!

I watched your videos yesterday afternoon. I love how Rebecca bops her head to the music - that is so cute! Do you guys bop your head, or did she just start doing that on her own? Either way, its adorable!

That's just her thing :) She LOVES music. She always has. She dances and shakes her head with all of her musical toys :) And now she gets the arms going too. We'll have to start piano lessons early for her. She already loves to "play" and sing along.
