Our sweet little Rebecca is still a great sleeper, sleeping 7-9 hours at night and taking 3 nearly consistent naps a day. She is starting to fight going to sleep when there are people around, so she may miss a nap, then take an extra long one later on.
She is sitting up all by herself, which should help more bald spot on the back of her head, but honestly she sleeps 15 hours a day so that spot may stay for a while. She is growing some hair and some pieces are fairly long-there just aren't alot of them yet, but it is staying brown.
She also likes to play on her tummy for longer time now. She can grab toys and play with them and can turn herself in a half circle. She rolls from her tummy to back, and back to side, but won't go onto her tummy from her back.
She has a love of tags and strings. When she nurses she grabs the tie on my sweatshirt and holds onto it. When she's cuddling with me, the tie ends up in her mouth. She puts everything in her mouth. If she can get ahold of it, it goes into her mouth. She has been sticking her fingers in her mouth alot lately, and she ends up crying at least once a day from biting down on them. When she gets teeth, she's going to really hurt her fingers when she bites down.
She is quite the drooler and certain time spits up alot. She can go through multiple bibs or tops in a day because she's wet and with the colder weather I want to keep her warm and dry.
She is still loving to eat. She now eats full puffs, Ritz crackers and graham crackers. She can eat 1/3 cup of baby cereal mixed with peaches in one sitting. So far she has liked everything we've given her. She likes her sippy cup, but NOT the liquids inside of it! She gets a funny look on her face and spits it out.
She continues to give the sweetest smiles. She gives a hint of a giggle, but would perfer to smile then laugh. She talks to us alot. She'll move her mouth as if she's having a conversation, but no sound comes out. It's really cute to watch.
She is still the most lovable, huggable, sweet baby and we are all so in love with her. The kids all want to hold, touch and help with her all the time. She is such an easy going baby that makes life so much brighter.
Simeon loves to go see her 1st thing in the morning and to sit and read to her, Corrine is her little mother getting her dressed, carrying her around and playing games with her and Ammon is her entertainer and protector. She is never wanting for someone to play with her or to give her something she needs. Dad has given her the cute nickname of Rebecca Doodle, Ra-doodle with she smiles at, and we all call her to some degree. I just can't enough cuddle time with her, she is such a sweet baby and it warms my heart to be her mom.
At last check she was just over 15 lbs and 24". She is into 6-9 months clothes, but has small feet like her siblings.

Our babies are growing way too fast! It sounds like she's learning so much and just as sweet as ever. She is a lucky girl to have such a wonderful family that loves her so much. I'm still so impressed with all that she eats. Connor still doesn't really eat anything but milk. Oh well, he'll get there eventually.
