All Better!

Well this past two weeks has been yucky! We have all had summer colds. Poor Cecelia had it the worst. Thank goodness Rebekah had a lighter version. She was just snotty but no real cough or anything. Mom got it bad too. Mine was yucky but I had to push through it to take care of the girls. Poor Dad was the last to get it. Thank goodness we all seem to be almost over it. Everyone being sick at the same time is awful!

Rebekah is growing so fast! She can now roll over onto her tummy. It isn't her favorite position yet but I think once she realized she can schooch around she will like it. She has so many expressions now. She is not a cryer so much any more but she can sure let you know when she doesn't like something. She had the best disgusted face ever and she "talks" to us all the time. When she is not happy the toe is quite different. It is so cute. It sounds like she is telling me off! When she is happy she makes the cutes sounds ever. She coos and laughs. She is getting longer so she is thinning out a little. Her arms still remind me of the Michelin man. She is so cute and sweet!

Cecelia is learning more and more words and using them A LOT! She now knows her upper and lower case letters, numbers to 9 and can rote count to 12. Today she was "reading" a book on the floor. I was watching from the couch and could not believe it but she was following the words with her finger as she "read" them. I had kindergartners who could not do that!! She loves books. Many times she will want to read instead of playing with toys. She is a sponge right now. It is amazing what she learns and remembers. She loves to say people's names. She also can tell you what state people we know live in. She will tell me "Uh Chuck Florida" or "Cece Texas". She is so smart because she does this for all of my friends. It is precious! I am just such a proud Mommy. I cannot believe how smart she is.

Rebekah's Baptism is going to be Sunday, August 8 at the 7:30am mass at Sacred Heart. I am so excited to finally have her baptized. If you can make it let me know so we can look for you. It is such a great family celebration!

I just finished my last assignment for my class this semester. All I have left is my internship. I have maintained my 4.0 which is something I am immensely proud of, especially with all that has gone on the past year. My girls are my motivation. I want them to see that when you really want something you can accomplish it. I will be so proud to walk the stage at graduation in December with my girls watching. Everything I do I do for them. They are my world!

We haven't taken any pictures lately since we have all been sick. The next installment will have pictures from Rebekah's baptism. :o)
