the many faces of rebecca

The funny thing about these pictures is that they appear in the order in which they were taken! Our girl is very..I guess you could say..versatile. She's content, then upset, then happy, then mad...all in a matter of seconds! It's very cute and entertaining to watch.

Rebecca's First Bath!

Our baby is now 21 days old and just took her first bath. She loves the water! She didn't cry at all...even when we poured the water over her head. It was so fun to try out her new tub and rubber ducky. She made the funniest faces. We have a video clip that we can email you upon request :) Seriously, it is so entertaining to watch this little angel. It seems like babies only eat and sleep and poop. BUt really, she has so many talents, you wouldn't believe it! She blows spit bubbles, she kicks off her blankets, she smiles (we think some of them have been genuine...not just gas), she makes monkey noises, and today she sucked on her thumb (she's taking after her mother). We love her!

Our sweet little...tax deduction :)

Okay, this is a horrible thing for our baby to be wearing, but I saw it at Target for $2 and couldn't resist! Anyone who knows Jorg is aware that he's always looking for ways to make money, especially when it comes to taxes. Don't worry, we won't let her wear it in public, unless she really wants to... Reguardless, we owe her lots of free diaper changes and kisses for letting us dress her in this white trash frock.

Mommy's Girl

Daddy's Girl :)

She is 11 days old now and gets cuter every day!

We LIKE it

Happy Graduation, Jorg! Omi Birgit made us these hats since Jorg missed BYU's graduation. I say it was due to Rebecca's birth. Though the truth is he was too stubborn to have paid $40 for the real thing and he was just glad to be done - that scoundral;) In any case, we are sooooooo proud of him! YEA!

Papa Aldrich

Let's not forget our first time grandpa, Papa Aldrich! Rebecca will love for him to teach her the word, "nostril", and his famous song, "The Animal Fair". We like it!

"When a baby is born, so is a Grandmother"

Heather McKinlay made a cute frame for my mom with that quote.

And here is Rebecca with her proud grandmothers, Mimi Aldrich and Omi Birgit! Rebecca has made Rosemary and Birgit first time grandparents.

Omi and Mimi have been such a great help this past week, doing laundry, cleaning house, bringing food, and taking care of us. Thank you for all you do!

Rebecca's Room

Here are some photos of her nursery. I used to just...sit in there and imagine what it would be like for her to be there. I was so cheesy rocking her (in my belly) and reading her stories. I'm so thankful that she's really here, safe and sound, so we can enjoy it together. It seems like a dream :D

Rebecca and Pooh - 3 Days Old

We're going to take occassional photos of Rebecca and Pooh to measure her growth! We got this idea from Zach and Kamille's baby Violet who they measured next to a Panda Bear...soooooo cute.

We came home on Sunday night (when we took this picture). It's been so fun to have her home! It has also been tiring...the girl has her days and nights confused! She slept solidly through the day yesterday, except when I woke her to eat, and then was awake (eating non-stop) ALL night last night. It looks like today will be the same. HOPEFULLY, we will both get some naps in today :)
