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.
I loved all the pictures! You really showed your trip well in pictures! I loved the top Father’s Day picture! It was great to see you all less than 3 weeks ago. Glad you made it back home safely. We hope your summer of research goes well.
I would definitely have to agree. I also really liked seeing all of the family members with their Becca pictures. Too cute! I would have loved to see Uncle Johnnie….And Caroline….more pictures. You look great! Great work Amy. Glad you guys are taking a week to relax before diving into your summer-long journey. Miss you already.
Pictures are great and bring back wonderful memories of just two and a half weeks ago. It was wonderful seeing you all again, and Baby Floyd didn’t mind sharing her home–I don’t know how Becca slept though; it doesn’t look comfortable to me. I do think that Baby Floyd is getting a bit jealous that everyone got to be on the “tractor” but her. 🙂 Hope you all have a great weekend before getting back into the grind of dissertations.
Oh what fun! I love the collage of Becca Tour photos!! That was a lot of new people to meet in such a short time. What a great idea to do your trip at the beginning of the summer, and now shift gears into your studies. It was wonderful to have you visit and get to spend some time with Becca! Looks like she wants some cake. Or is she hoping that is a big watermelon??! 🙂
The pictures were wonderful!!!! Thanks again for allowing me to spend some time with you during you busy schedule. She is beautiful .
sounds like becca spent most of fathers day in the kitchen!
Enjoyed seeing all the pictues and look forward to more in the future. You all look so happy and am sure you are enjoying being home and just of the three of you together again. Lots of fun seeing family and friends, but beng home tops the list! Hope you have a special day on Monday celebrating another wedding anniversary. LOL!
LOVE all the pics and loved even more getting to meet Becca in person! Hope you’re enjoying being back home and settling into your summer routine.
Wow! That was quite a tour! I’m glad I was able to attend! Thanks for coming by to see us.
We are so sorry we missed seeing you and meeting the little one! We have enjoyed all the pictures and are so glad that you share them with all of us! Best wishes on the research! I’m sure you’ll both do a great job!
How I would have loved to have seen you when you came to G’ville. Carole Eby couldn’t look any happier. I know she loved holding Becca. We were on the Reformation tour which was wonderful, but I’m so sorry I missed you. Becca is absolutely adorable. She has the most precious smile. I don’t comment often, but I never miss your blog. When we got back I had to read and look at everything right away that I had missed. Please never stop sending pictures and telling us about your life. It is a joy to read. I pray that you will both have a wonderful summer and get a lot of work done on those pesky dissertations.
