Palm Beach Zoo

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

 Last week we took a trip to the Palm Beach Zoo. We figured she was old enough to enjoy it, but she didn’t have as good of a time as we had hoped. I’m guessing she’d say it was just ok. Keep in mind it was a hot day and she was at the beginning of an ear infection, we just didn’t know it yet. Speaking of which, this is her fourth ear infection in four months. She also just had four top teeth come in, so it’s been a painful couple months for her. She is better now though so that is good.

Rebekah started crawling a couple weeks ago. She had been trying so hard for such a long time that when she finally did it I felt so proud of her. She’s having a great time. At day care she enjoys being able to follow her friends around the room and snatch their toys away from them. She’s a very social baby, she’s always talking more to them then they are to her. She can say dadadada, bababa, nin nin nin and such.  No “mama” yet.

With her new skill comes an even bigger appetite. She is up to 3 solid food meals a day, a snack and her regular breast milk feedings. She eats cheerios, scrambled eggs, whole peas, and anything soft and mushy from our plates at the dinner table. She can even drink water from a cup, although she does dribble some down her shirt if you aren’t careful. The process is very slow and we still hold the cup for her. She loves it. 

 We often meet up with our mommy/baby friends (Robby & Rylee) for play dates at the park.  She gets pretty bored at the house with Scott and I at this point so these play dates are very important.

 On Sundays Daddy plays softball in the Sun Sentinel league and we watch from the stands with more mommy/baby friends - Belinda & Kayden.
