Today is Becca’s 30-week birthday, on Tuesday her adjusted age reaches 4 months, and this Saturday Becca will celebrate her 7-month birthday! But our biggest celebration this week was Father’s Day! For Father’s Day, Becca made her daddy a card, soft tacos, and a three-layer strawberry cake. She wanted her daddy to know in just a small way how much she loves him and appreciates all that he does for her.
Becca had a doctor’s appointment yesterday. She now weighs 12lbs & 15oz. and is 23 1/4 in. long. Dr. Raine is pleased with her progress. Becca is making lots of sounds and has mastered the “geeeee” sound. On our recent trip (more below) she did a wonderful job traveling and was pretty happy on the plane flights. After sleeping in 6 different beds, she was very happy to come home and sleep in her own bed.
This past Saturday night, we flew home from our two-week trip to the east coast. We’re calling our trip “The Becca Tour”, since most of our trip was spent introducing Becca to family and friends. We spent the first few days in Greenville, SC, then we headed to Charleston, SC, for a wedding; from there we went to Atlanta, GA, and then flew to PA and drove to NJ. I’ve decided to spread out the pictures and stories from our tour over the next several blog posts.
The first part of our trip consisted of flying from Dallas, TX, to Greenville, SC, and spending Sunday through Thursday morning with Josh’s family. After we arrived at the Greenville airport, we drove to Spartanburg to say hello to our friends from Cleveland Park Bible Church. We were able to have dinner with Mrs. Burch and her family, and then stop by to visit Mr. Leo West. It was a busy afternoon. That evening we had dinner at Dad and Mom Jensen’s with the family and Grandpa and Grandma Hess. Becca enjoyed meeting everyone.
Becca met her Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Jensen and other family members. She also spent time with her cousin, Baby Girl Floyd. We hope Baby Girl Floyd didn’t mind that Becca fell asleep on her “home.” Next week, we’ll continue pictures from the “Becca Tour.” Right now we’re recovering from our trip and enjoying being home. Next week , both Josh and I will start our “summer schedule” of dissertation research.
