The boys went to Chicago for a worship/arts conference (see Josh's blog for more details on that!) while the girls hung back and shopped! We all had a great time! Rebekah's 3rd and 4th teeth are in and when Nana asked her about them, Rebekah opened her mouth and pointed to them! Smart girl! She has done it multiple times since, so it wasn't just chance for you cynics...
Nana and Pop adoring their little one... while she adored their bling...
Loving swinging with Nana...not sure who is enjoying herself more?Side note- you may notice the pink elephant (aka Ellie) appearing in many of the following pics...Rebekah just noticed her today and could not be parted from her...
Spending time with Pop...sorry for Sam's rearend highlighting these photos...
Josh installed her big girl car seat and like the typical guy he is, he decided to forego all common wisdom and go ahead and put it front-facing (we are a mere 3 weeks away from her 1st b-day!)...she and Ellie had a delightful time trying out the new seat!
This was definitely the highlight today- a wagon!! We are celebrating Rebekah's 1st 1st birthday with Nana and Pop today. They gave her a wagon complete with drink holders and seatbelts! So precious!
(notice her checking each nut and bolt above)She loved the box it arrived in, too! Apparently, Rebekah loves tunnels! Furthermore, she took her first baby steps in that she pushed the box and walked- we were so proud!
After her coed bath with David, we decided not to curb her freedom anymore and to allow her to play around more...she is now standing at inopportune times and splashing around all over the place!! Now that she is an advanced swimmer, getting water on her head and face is much less traumatic! Josh and Pop did a great job of bathing her every night!

Oh my goodness, there is so much to comment on, where does one begin? First of all, you look BEAUTIFUL in your yellow shirt and green necklace. The love for Rebe and love for the LORD shines through in your face. Captivating!!
Love Rebe in the wagon. It seems so roomy, and she seems to love being carted around. Too cute!!
Are we serious about the big girl car seat? Can she really be that old and ready for new things? Wasn't she just 6 weeks old yesterday, and we were worrying about her head flopping over?
Love these pics of her! She is such a honey. Love you, too!!

P.S. The other day instead of Baby Rebekah, Elizabeth asked to pray for Aunt Emily. Just thought you'd want to know. :)
Love, love, love your Emma Woodhouse pic on your blog! We are twinkies!!
Josh looks a lot like his dad and I love the pics where you and Rebekah are smiling as big as humanly possible!
Love that she has a Pink Elephant! I encourage lots of play time with that animal! And give mad props to whoever sent it her way!
I was Elinor Dashwood (which is funny b/c Elinor is one of my fav names)!
So I took the quiz and it told me...
You are Anne Elliot of Persuasion! Let's face it, you're easily persuaded, especially when faced with choices that are or aren't 'the Elliot way.' But this doesn't mean that you don't have conviction. Actually, your sense of duty is overwhelming. And though you won't stick your neck out too often, you have learned to speak up when it counts. To boot, you know how to handle sticky situations. You love deeply and constantly.
Having never read the book not sure if this is true or not or good or bad... But non the less Anne Elliot
Hey Emily--I'm a bit of a carseat safety nut. Here's an interesting read for you and Josh:
