We’ve enjoyed a variety of weather this week. Over the weekend it was sunny and warm. We enjoyed the extra time being outside. Becca didn’t like walking in the grass, but she did enjoy crawling on the sidewalk. She was a little hesitant about the stones, but they didn’t stop her from moving right along.
Then, on Tuesday morning we woke up to an icy world. There was a dusting of snow on top of the ice, and it was great for sliding and slipping on. Since Tuesday the temperatures have been in the teens and twenties, so the ice hasn’t had a chance to melt. The UTA campus has been shut down, and had rolling blackouts on Wednesday.
Becca continues to be lots of fun. She now consistently says two words: “d-yes” which means “yes”; “gen – gen” which means “again.” It’s really cute to hear her ask for something “gen-gen!” Becca also has started kissing us; she opens she mouth wide and presses it against our cheeks. She also kisses pictures in her books. It’s funny to watch her head go down multiple times as she kisses certain pictures.
Becca’s newest skill is picking out and bringing books to me so I can read them to her. We spend a lot of time each day reading books. And now that she knows how to say “gen- gen,” we read some books multiple times in a row!
As you can see from the picture, Josh and I continue to work diligently on our degrees! We appreciate your prayers as I work toward meeting my major deadline. I have to defend by April 1 in order to graduate this May.
Wow – what a huge change in the weather! Looks like Becca really enjoys being outside. She is just so cute and it is easy to see that the three of you are having a wonderful time no matter what you are doing together!
That change in weather just cracks me up! We certainly have had the cold, but nothing warm up here! Waiting for that:) Becca is doing so much now! Wow! It’s so fun to start to see their personalities come alive!
Extremes – weather and Becca’s size from last February. February is the month of changing weather and love. Both are evident in your pictures. We love you! Thanks again for posting each week. (Looks like you may be getting more snow tomorrow!)
Each week, I try to pick a favorite picture, and I think this week’s is Becca’s face when looking at that book. Looks like something really exciting must have just happened in that book. 😉 She must be itching to walk. Looks like she is trying to do it on that sidewalk. Hope you guys stay all bundled up and enjoy a little unexpected time together. Maybe you will even hear the cheers and chants of the superbowl.
Emily would like to be there for the Superbowl!! Our town is pretty hyped up for the Steelers. All the new born babies in the Harrisburg Hospital are nestled in their little basinets wearing Pittsburgh Steelers hats and blankeys. Pretty cute to see them all lined up! So glad that Becca is getting to experience some Real Snow!!! Isn’t Texas great?! You get to have a little bit of everything!!!
Josh, that hat (headwrap?) is courageous! 🙂
