We celebrated Mary's 29th birthday yesterday. We got takeout sushi from Kobe Japanese Steakhouse (a special treat for Mary to not have to make dinner...or clean up dinner:). Mary got a food saver from Justin and Rebecca. And Mary made a yummy ice cream cake with homemade white cake, vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce and chocolate frosting. Rebecca enjoyed a little bit of the plain cake. She already has a sweet tooth :) It was a fun family celebration. 
Rebecca will be 11 months old this week. Only one more month until our little girl turns 1! It doesn't seem possible. We will also be celebrating Justin's birthday in a few weeks.
Rebecca continues to grow and learn each day. She loves to read and listen to music. She knows the word "music" now and will look at the stereo and start dancing as soon as you say it...waiting for us to turn on one of her CDs. She is "talking" more and more as well. She can say ma ma, da da, quack, yum, baa and down. And it's starting to sound like she's trying to say pretty. Rebecca is getting quite good at standing on her own. And she just started climbing the stairs...time for the gate to go up :) Rebecca is also quite the little love bug. She loves to share all of her toys...and sometimes her food. And she always has to pause for snuggles with Mommy and Daddy while she's playing. And she gives us and her animals lots of kisses...big, wet kisses :) She's so sweet.
We're looking forward to warming weather this week so we can go outside a bit. Both Mommy and Rebecca are anxious to get out of the house.

Looks and sounds like it was a great birthday!! The sushi looks great! What do you guys get? I see a Philadelphia roll, maybe a California roll? The food saver you will love, love, love! I had one of the first ones they came out with, but upgraded to a newer one a few months ago. They are the best things ever! The ice cream cake sounds yummy! Speaking of cakes, your cakes were a HIT! Everyone loved them! And I did see all of the locals take a flyer, too! So hopefully with time, something will come of that. :)
California, Philadelphia, tuna & avocado, spicy yellow tail.
Glad to hear the food saver is worth while. And so glad everyone liked the cakes! Can't wait to see your pics!!
