This week, for the first time since coming home, Becca moved into her “own room.” We live in a one-bedroom apartment, and Becca has been sleeping in a pack-n-play in our bedroom. When my mom came to visit right after Becca was born, she helped me clear out the closet, so we would have room for Becca. Monday, I decided it was time for Becca to have her own room, and it’s been working wonderfully. (The photos on the left were taken before the switch; the photos on the right, after. Becca’s bed used to be where the  black stacked drawers are now located.)

When Becca was sleeping in our room, her bed was right outside of the bathroom door. We always had to be careful about going in when Becca was napping. We now have the freedom to go into our bedroom or the restroom anytime we want without the fear of waking Becca. It’s been really nice, and the move has made our bedroom seem more spacious. It’s also opened up some extra play space for Becca and Mommy when Josh needs to get something done in the living room (where his desk and computer are).

Becca is doing well with eating solids. She typically has rice cereal two times a day, and we’re practicing how to open our mouth wide (say AH!). Yesterday, I cooked her some carrots to try with her cereal. I’m not sure yet whether she prefers raw or cooked carrots – raw ones are definitely more fun to chew on. I spotted Becca’s first tooth making it’s way in, so she’s getting ready to chew those carrots.

We’re having lots of fun with Becca. She’s a very happy little girl and loves playing with her parents. She started rolling over both ways quite regularly and is reaching for objects. I love watching her examine new things. She is quite serious in her detective work.
