10 Months old!

In just a few days Rebecca will be as old as Jacob was (10.5 months) when we packed up the LeSabre of yore and headed from Provo to Ann Arbor via Denver. This is something I will take the next few days coming to terms with, because, let's face it, life hasn't exactly slowed down since this little girl was born. She is about as cute as can be and it really is so fun to learn more about her personality.

There are some things that she has done or that she does often that are worth sharing:

• looking like she wants to chew out of her bed (laying on her side, and gnawing on the rails)
• pointing her foot in the air when I get ready to put her socks on
• dancing while she's on her tummy
• laughing when she gets her 8 teeth brushed
• scooting everywhere in a sitting position and getting into things a bit more than her brother did
• picking up hymnals with one hand when we are in sacrament meeting
• moving our office chair here at the desk while someone is sitting in it
• waving her arms around during the songs at church
• using her pincer grasp very excellently when eating. she eats very fast but still looks dainty doing so.

Happy 10 month birthday, Rebecca Lea!
