Rebekah is developing her pincer grasp right now. The most amusing thing she has tried to grasp - my freckles. She hasn’t learned that they don’t come off. Since she can’t grasp them, she tries to scratch them off. Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of that, but I do have some of her using her new skill to eat whole peas for the first time.
Rebekah has cradle cap. I’ve left it alone for months, but I just couldn’t ignore it anymore. I tried olive oil, but that did nothing for her dry skin and made her smell like salad. So I bought some calendula cream and left it on her for half the day. Made her look pretty goofy, but it worked!
The other night I went to check on Rebekah and found her in this awkward position. Notice her other arm is tucked under her. I can’t see how this is comfortable. Now that she has more control over her body she thrashes around a lot in her sleep. She likes to extend her arm and grab things like this when she is nursing too.
WOW! I am LONG overdue for a blog entry. Sorry everyone.
Rebekah is 8 months old now. She continues to be lots of fun and a very happy baby. She is pretty mellow and we get lots of comments about how good she is when we’re in public. Here are a few pics from January and February.
This is one of my favorite photos of Bek and I’m proud to say it was taken by Scott. His photography is getting better and better!
Of Course, he does have beautiful subject matter.
It’s actually been cold enough for Bek to wear a beanie and for us to turn on the heater. This winter has been very nice, the best one we’ve had since we’ve moved here.
Chillin with daddy on the couch.
Going for Daddy’s eyebrows. Fun fun.
DOH!
Trying peas for the first time.
