CAT

Rebekah's favorite word is "cat." And a "cat" is not just a cat, but any animal in general. To top it off, her impression of every animal's sound is just her panting. Here she is at a recent open house at the Washington Animal Rescue League, astounded by the sight of a "cat" and panting her brains out:

Astute readers will remember that Rebekah attended last year's annual WARL fall open house. This year, Rebekah is well aware that it will soon be cold. Here is another picture of Rebekah, enjoying a nice fall day in the park and hoping that it stays warm for just a little longer:

More Halloween

As an update to yesterday's Halloween post, Mom and Dad have since received some pictures taken by Riley's grandmother. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Unlike last year, Rebekah is finally old enough to wear a costume and really get into the spirit of Halloween. Although Mom originally though that Rebekah might want to be a cat (her favorite word), she sobbed uncontrollablyevery time she was dressed in the costume. Fortunately, Mom found her a costume that did not cause misery - a pink bunny.

Rebekah started out her Halloween day with a morning bash at Riley's place. Rebekah the Bunny got to hang out with a Riley the Panda, Ferris the Ballerina, Ava the Cat, Sydney the Mouse, and Daniel the Fireman.

And she also got to chow down on some yummy food.

Later in the day, Rebekah wandered over to the Downtown Silver Spring Monster Mash.

She is already trying to decide what she will be next year.

Dr. Rebekah is marveling the medical world with her knowledge:

And, yes, The Doctor is currently accepting new patients. Since Rebekah isn't old enough to use the phone yet, call either Mom or Dad for an appointment.

Baby Jamboree

Rebekah just spent a wild weekend in Norfolk with Andrew. While Mom was at a baby shower for a baby pal-to-be, Rebekah partied with Andrew, Morris, Henry, and Annie and a pack of Dads (who failed to capture the chaos on film). She capped off her weekend with a Monday doctor's appointment for her 15 month check-up.

Here are her latest stats:

* Weight = 22 lbs. 6 oz. (49th percentile), an increase of 15 lbs. 6 oz. since birth

* Height = 31 in. (74th percentile), an increase of 11 3/4 in. since birth

* Head Circumference = 18 1/4 in. (73rd percentile), an increase of 4 7/8 in. since birth

Here she is tonight, relaxing in her jammies and recovering from her three shots:
