Yesterday we surprised Uncle Ryan with a visit and a birthday cake. We met at Shannon's parents house. It was a fun visit. Rebecca enjoyed seeing everyone and even getting to pet their puppy :) She tried a couple bites of chocolate cake...she liked it :) Everyone was amazed at what a good eater she is. She gobbled up her whole dinner in no time.
While on our way home yesterday Mary got a good look in Rebecca's mouth...and realized that all four of her 1st molars are in (top and bottom)!!! She now has 12 teeth! And she's still working on more. No wonder she's been so drooly and chewing on everything lately. With all those teeth Rebecca is pretty good at chewing most food now. She's gradually eating more and more table food. This week she ate hard boiled egg yolk, avocado, banana, chicken pot pie, cheesy potatoes, peas and apple chunks. She seems to like it all. Although her favorite is still cheese. She asks for it at every meal as soon as she's in her high chair. Today she gets to try black bean soup. We're hoping to really cut back on baby food and give her more and more table food. Baby food is so expensive.
This Tuesday we're having dinner with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Van. Maybe it will be nice enough weather that Rebecca can explore the farm a bit :)

Looks like it was a fun time! The cake looks yummy!! Glad to hear Rebecca is liking more and more table food. Its so much easier. I hope she likes the black bean soup. I wish Carson had been up to try some of it when I made it. He loves white bean soup (my grandma's homemade stuff), so I'm sure he'd love the black beans, too.
A trip to the farm will be fun! Maybe it'll be dry enough for Grandpa to take you guys for a cart ride to the creek. Carson did that last year and loved it. There are lots of fun things to do at the farm.
