Rebekah loves shoes, anyones shoes but especially wearing her sister's shoes! She repeats everything we say and loves to quote "Stand-up Jesus" whenever we tell her to stand-up.
Eating:
Continues to eat well for the most part. Meat is never the first thing to be eaten but the vegetables are! She always insists on having a fork in her hand but doesn't always use it! She is in the take-a-part stage of sandwich eating which is always comical. I think she would do really well with a regular cup as far as drinking but her arms are a bit too short right now to be able to reach a cup on the tray of her highchair without running the risk of knocking it over so we are sticking with the sippy. She does great using a straw. She also loves to have sips of coffee, water, wine, or whatever we are drinking!
Sleeping:
She continues to wake about 7:30-ish but is always quiet until I go and get her. Nap time has been at 1:15 this month and lasts until 4. She seems to be doing fine with it :)
Play:
Her dislike of glue during craft time is waining a little bit. However, she really doesn't like to get dirty for the most part. We did a game involving some mud for our Deborah story and she hated every second of it. Her love for stuffed animals has not diminished and it is super cute. I do rotate the animals so she never gets too attached to any one. She loves baby dolls too but I think stuffed animals really are her favorite. She really enjoys stacking toys (and then knocking them down of course) and has started this month with lining things up.
Skills:
Her knowledge of numbers is awesome. She knows 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 (confuses 1 with 7) and it isn't just a memorization thing on the calendar, she really does know them; I am so impressed by her! Her colors are certainly improving although her first reaction is "green" when something is red but she is really doing great! She knows orange, yellow, and purple as well. Her knowledge of numbers and colors also demonstrates something else: she talks CONSTANTLY! Don't get me wrong, I love it but she has quite the vocabulary and uses it. all the time. She is probably just figuring out she'll have to work to get a word in between me and her sister :) Her potty training also continues to go well. She still has the occasional accident but most days are accident free and she tells us (usually by walking into the bathroom) when she needs to go. Sundays are the only days where she struggles. I would say she is accident free at church about 60% of the time right now. She is also doing remarkably well at swimming with just her floaty. She loves that thing and loves being in the water. I don't have to hold her at all, except when she wants to do Ring Around the Rosie in the pool!
