Over the weekend Grandpa and Grandma Voogt came to visit. Rebecca had been anxious for them to come all week. She wanted to show them all of her toys and all the things she's learning. Rebecca colored and had a tea party with Grandma. We also celebrated Grandma's birthday. Rebecca enjoyed helping her open gifts. It was a fun weekend. And they brought us some yummy produce. Rebecca thoroughly enjoyed her pearsauce this morning that Mommy made with their pears.
We also took a trip to John Ball Zoo on Sunday afternoon. We didn't want to miss out on the beautiful weather. Rebecca loved seeing all the animals. She especially liked petting the goats..."pet goat."
Rebecca is still going strong with the teething. Sleeping is unpredictable every day. Mommy is keeping busy rocking Rebecca to sleep quite often as it's the only way she can get comfortable sometimes. We hope they come all the way through soon.
Rebecca is learning so much right now. She is really starting to put more and more words together, saying short sentences. She is also learning her alphabet. She can go through the entire alphabet if we say the letter first. She'll then say a word that starts with that letter. A is for...apple, B is for...bath, etc. She even did it for Grandpa and Grandma. They were pretty impressed :) We're working on the actual alphabet. Yesterday she did "B, D, E, F, G." And she knows some others if you start saying the alphabet. She'll chime in with H, I, J, Q and V sometimes. We're trying to focus on one letter each week right now. Yesterday we started doing B. Mommy was saying B is for bath, baby, bubbles, ball, etc. And Rebecca said "band aid." She's catching on quickly! Rebecca is still doing well with counting. She counts all kinds of things...toys, pictures in books, etc. Rebecca is really getting into coloring now. And she still loves her babies and dolls, feeding them, rocking them, etc.

We're looking forward to a fun and busy holiday weekend. Friday we're going to a local orchard. Saturday we're going to a wedding reception for a family friend. Monday Ryan and Shannon are visiting. We can't wait to hear about their trip to Romania! And Tuesday we're having some neighbors over for dinner.
We finally bought a video camera. It was our joint anniversary gift. So you may see more videos in the future. We just need to learn how to do some editing :) There are new pictures in the August album.
