Apparently I have been pushing the whole "Let's Practice Writing Your Name" thing a little too much

This is a bookshelf in his closet:



On the bright side, he actually did a pretty good job with his name:

6 months old

This month we get 2 pictures of Becca and the bear. As you can see, she is no longer content to just lie next to the bear while I take her picture. Anything within her grasp is snapped up in an instant (and then usually stuffed in her mouth.)








Highlights this past month:

• I think she is cutting teeth as she has been cranky and drooling a ton. I don't see any actual teeth in her mouth yet, but I'm sure they will appear soon.
• Trying yogurt. She loved it so much she ate an entire container in one sitting. This should not have come as a surprise since we pretty much single-handedly supported Yo Baby Yogurt during Samuel's first 3 years.
• She has figured out how to roll from her stomach to her back (but not the other way around yet.)
• She loves anything with buttons (remote control, phone, calculator, etc...)
• If you put her on the floor on her stomach, she will scoot backwards. I remember Samuel did that too before he started crawling for real. I think real crawling for Becca is not too far off:

Easter Pictures (better late than never)

Ernie's sister Bridget, her husband Pete, and 2 of their boys (Tony and PJ) came to visit us for Easter. Here are some pictures from their visit:

The famous Easter cookies (if you are a Jackson reading this, you probably recognize these!)



Bridget, Pete, and I took turns posing for pictures with our favorite little girl. Could she possibly get any cuter?
