Rebecca came down with another cold this week. We are thankful that it has not gotten as bad as last time. She has a cough and is very stuffy. She has been much fussier than usual. But overall she's in good spirits. She's intently playing with her John Deere tractor and her piano right now :) Mary had to cancel a doctor's appt. and we had to cancel plans with some friends to keep Rebecca home yesterday. And Mary and Rebecca will stay home from church tomorrow. Rebecca doesn't have her normal appetite yet and struggled a bit with nursing yesterday. She did pretty well over night, so hopefully the cold will be over soon. Rebecca is learning all sorts of stuff this week. She is starting to "walk" when you hold her hands. We bought her a doll stroller/walk behind toy. She's getting good at that after just one day. She is really getting good at going from her tummy to sitting. So she's up and down constantly and moving all over the place. Not content to just sit in one spot any more. Rebecca is a smart little girl. She has figured out how to make her piano play music. There is one small button that makes it play songs. She pushes it over and over and claps and bounces along to the music (check out the latest video to see her in action :). She has also figured out how to make her John Deere tractor play "Old McDonald." She's starting to say "ma ma" and "da da" a lot more. She calls for "ma ma" when she leaves the room sometimes :)
Rebecca cut her 6th tooth about a week ago. She now has 4 on top and 2 on bottom. She's working on 2 more on top. She enjoys using her teeth to chew cheerios and cheese. She tried chicken this week. She seemed to like the taste but was a little unsure of the texture. Once her normal appetite returns we'll try bananas. Rebecca likes foods that she can pick up and "chew."
Hopefully this coming Friday Mary and Rebecca will be going to MOPS. And we're looking forward to celebrating Grandpa Holleboom's birthday on Saturday by going to a Calvin basketball game and having dinner at our house.

Hope Rebecca starts feeling better soon! Poor girlie!! Starting and closing out January with sickness. :( That's basically what Carson did in December.
