Our Precious Rebecca

Our sweet Rebecca is already five months! While she has brought much joy and delight to our home, no one warned me how little of "my time" I would have left after child #2 arrived!! Poor kid, it's no wonder people say that the second (and third, and fourth) kids don't have as many photos, videos, and memory albums as the first. There just is no time! However, precious Rebecca definitely deserves some blog time here, so I'm going to do my best to catch up just a bit.

She arrived in our lives three weeks early, and was a tiny little thing, just 5lbs.10 oz.



Katelyn was beyond delighted at her arrival, and in the morning, after our first night home from the hospital, this is what I awoke to find. Kate had carefully, and quietly, decided that each of her most valuable items belonged right next to Rebecca. (Can you see the baby hiding in the photo?)


Of course, now Rebecca is smiling, giggling, cooing, and generally delighting us with her interactions. She's a busy baby (although not quite as busy as her sister, I don't think... time will tell), and generally happy, especially if she's being talked to.

Katelyn still has her moments of "adjustment", although in general she's still enjoying her little sis. And as for me, I just can't wait to leave the worries of feeding/sleeping schedules to return to my vacuuming schedule!

Here are a few miscellaneous photos from the last five months. What a delight she is!
