Luke had his first "bites" yesterday! Josh got him this precious high chair practically for free and it was time to try it out!
Now, let me preface this all by saying that Little Miss Rebekah was NOT to be left out. She excitedly picked out the bowl and spoon and helped me "make" the rice cereal. As all experienced mums know, you do NOT try to spoon-feed a starving baby for the first time after a 3 hour nap! So, I told R that we had to wait until Luke finished most of his bottle. She patiently sat at the table, stirring his "cereal," insisting she wanted some, too, the whole time I fed Luke. The SECOND he was finished, she excitedly exclaimed, "Now Lukey gets to eat his cereal!" I got to give the first bite, but then it was all Big Sister. She LOVED it. He did not. However, being the second time around, I know that it is more practice than anything at this point and I wasn't discouraged!
This is quintessential Luke. LOOOOVE that face!
Another exciting event on the same day!! We got our first package of American goodies nowhere to be found in the UK! I'm not sure who was more excited- Rebes or myself! She delightedly rejoiced over each item! You'll be interested to know that we have taken to swinging Tic Tacs now, in lieu of Lamby.
My sweet buddy before nuh-night time.
Rebekah now takes herself to the potty and does the whole shebang by HERSELF! Man, life is good!
She actually said to me, "Mama, I'd like some more meatloaf and green beans, please." What mom doesn't love that?
Lamby now has needs and wants- for instance, Lamby might need to eat a snack, go swinging, or watch a movie. Not Rebekah, mind you. She's just looking out for Lamby.
She has 2 new words she has made up: Choo choo choo and ca ca ca. She uses them as replacement words when she's being silly, such as "Can I choo choo choo on this? Does this have ca ca ca?" Choo choo choo is a verb and ca ca ca is a noun. Makes the Enlgish major in me proud and the linguist in me astonished, to say the least.

Luke looks adorable in these photos - what a cutie pie! I'm so glad he's making it through the night now! Rebekah is such a great big sister, and I'm quite proud of her accomplishments in the bathroom as well as at the dinner table!
I am not at all surprised that Miss R is so helpful with Luke. Way to be a good mom and have the patience to let her feed little bro.
Emily, Luke looks so big! Love his little pj's too.
Tell Rebekah that Miss Carrie is so proud of her BR independence! Way to go honey!
You are doing such a good job documenting all the changes in both of them! How exciting to try some first bites and for big sister to help!
WAY TO GO REBEKAH with the potty training! David still asks for help to pull his pants back up... not sure why, but I make him do the front :)
What exactly would be some of the those items that you can't get there that you would be hoping for?
I cannot tell you how absolutely HAPPY this post made me. I love these precious ones. That Luke grows more handsome by the week, and Rebekah is full on precious. I can see that you are loving being a mommy and making memories with them. You are the best!!
LOVE reading your blog!!! I can't believe Luke! He is so handsome. :) I also can't believe how great Rebekah is doing in the whole potty thing! Awesome!
Love the pics of R feeding Luke, too cute! I have yet to let Conley help, boys just are as gentle. R looks so cute as she is so excited to open the box of goodies, how fun!!!! I love that you are so good to blog and keep us updated, thanks!!!
