Grandpa and Grandma Voogt came to see us yesterday. Rebecca had just woken up from her long afternoon nap when they got here, so it took her a few mintues to wake up and warm up. But then she was all set to play and show them all the things she's been learning since the last time they were here. She sat and read with Grandma for a while. And she did a lot of "quacking" for them :) They gave her a cute wooden puzzle that makes animal sounds. Rebecca loved the froggy and the fish. We'll have lots of fun playing with that.
Grandpa Voogt is on the tail end of a cold, so he had to keep his distance a bit. And they didn't spend the night here to be on the safe side. We'll see them again at church this morning. Grandma will be helping Mary in the nursery.
Rebecca has had another busy week. She is starting to stand without holding onto anything. She also learned how to use her sippy cup...yea!!!! That's a big breakthrough for us. Mary was starting to worry she'd have to nurse Rebecca forever :p We think another tooth just pushed through...which puts the count at 9 right now, with 3 more on the way. Rebecca is also starting to eat more solid food. The trick...put it on a fork :) She'll at least try most things that you put on a fork. This week she ate quite a bit of chicken. And some cooked veggies. Rebecca also ate some homemade blueberry pancakes. Slowly but surely we're trying to get away from baby food. Rebecca still loves to read and dance.
With the nice weather this week we got to try out Rebecca's wagon. She seemed to like it. We just rode around the driveway. We're looking forward to using it all summer!
Today should be an interesting day. Not sure how Rebecca will adjust to the time change. Plus she won't get a morning nap since we'll be in the nursery. And her afternoon nap will be messed up because we have a church potluck. So we're hoping she does ok and can get a nice long nap later today.
Justin is back to work this week. It was a treat to have a week of family time. We even got to go on a nice long walk on Friday afternoon. We'll miss having Daddy around :) This Saturday we'll be celebrating Mary's birthday.

Yay for the sippy cup!!!! That really has to be a relief! :)
You're lucky Rebecca will use a fork. I've been trying to get Carson to use a fork for months and months now... he doesn't want to eat off it, just use it to bang on things. :)
The wagon looks great!! I'm hoping we can take a ride up to Toys R Us to see them in person this week sometime. Maybe that will help me convince Kevin. :)
