...Soon to be followed by the phase where every time you break out the camera she quits what she's doing to crawl toward the camera and try to grab it, so you get lots of funny up-close pictures of her head and her hand coming toward you. At least, that was the progression with both our boys. SO cute!

Smile captured on iPhone
an actual smile! Originally uploaded by telfandrea. This is a doubly rare occasion. A blog post from/by Telfer and one of Cate's wonderful smiles caught on "film". She smiles so often - but if we get out the camera or hold up a camera phone she immediately gets kinda serious and looks straight...
I love it! (She'll really appreciate those pics someday!)
Oh, I so remember that with Liam! We had 1-2 extra outfits with us at all times. If we were driving in the car and heard a blowout, we'd pull over ASAP to avoid soiling both the outfit AND the car seat. Now, go figure, Ronin NEVER has those. He's a one-outfit-a- day kind of guy. A nice unexpected little blessing.
I can't believe how much more grown up Cate is looking!
A Good Week
So, my first week back at work has gone really well. Cate is a good napper during the day (we still need to work on sleeping well at night!) and I had no problem getting in my twenty hours this week. I like working from home a lot - if I am disciplined, there are very few distractions and I feel...
Amazing how the whole world looks different when you haven't slept well in a few days! -Bekah
New beginnings
g diapers! Originally uploaded by telfandrea. Thankfully, things have been SO much better since my last post. We are chalking up a few bad nights to a three month "growth spurt." A reason, any reason, makes me feel better. A few nights ago, I was up nine different times with Cate, Henry threw ...
Are those Robeez? Gotta love em. Liam had 3 pair. What's next? Teeth!
Day after Christmas
Shoes! Originally uploaded by telfandrea. It's only 12:30 on the day after Christmas, but Cate's on her third outfit. Good times! The one constant, however, is the shoes on her feet. Aunt Alyssa bought Cate her first pair of shoes for Christmas and we love them! We have had a lot of firsts th...
You have some beautiful pictures of her! BTW, I have never seen a baby with so many hats!
Anesthesia Santa!
first visit with santa Originally uploaded by telfandrea. The party featured Santa Claus but Cate didn't seem really impressed this year. Maybe next year we can get the classic screaming in the arms of Santa Claus picture. One can only hope...
LOVE IT! I've seen those legwarmers for boys, too, but Jeff will not have it.
Reliving the 80s
the bag lady look 2 Originally uploaded by telfandrea. Cate can finally fit into her baby legs (basically leg warmers for babies)! Is this quite the outfit or what?
The wait is finally over! We are so excited for you guys. And, selfishly, so excited to have more friends who understand just what all this parenting stuff is about! Cate is beautiful. Hope your labor was tolerable. Can't wait to see/hear more!
Bekah and Jeff

A Self-Portrait

Believe it or not, I wore skinnier jeans than ever after Liam was born (not immediately).
Also, I totally understand your feelings about all those comments. Sometimes I just wished people would keep their mouths shut, because really, EVERYONE has different experience. But then I learned it's a curse...after you're a mom, it's really hard to keep your own mouth shut. I find myself telling stories/giving unsolicited advice often. Just yesterday, I told the door to door meat guy that his newborn might sleep better on his stomach!
Top 3 Pregnancy Comments
3. Starbucks employee, after a long story about her daughter ends with: "You'll never fit into those little jeans again [pause], no really, you won't." 2. Unnamed coworker calls out in a crowded room: "you're finally getting fat!" 1. Unnamed coworker when she almost walks past me: "I almost didn...
Looks like you had fun. However, I see a conspicuous lack of pictures showing off your cute belly!

Home
mom & girls Originally uploaded by telfandrea. Last week Telfer and I went on our last trip home before baby (um, in 7 weeks, yikes). The whole time I was in various airports (Ontario, Portland, Pasco, Seattle) I kept thinking about how it will literally be at least fifteen years before air tr...
I'm totally in! I have a recipe ready in hand, almost.

Foodie Friends
While we were in Spokane, Amanda had the idea of a shared recipe/food blog that we all could contribute to. Brilliant, I say. So Missy, Amanda, RaChelle and I started a blog called Foodie Friends. Check it out. If any of you want to be an author (Anna & Kori for example), let me know and I'll in...
Love the ride Telfer.
Vesparado
Telfer on his new vespa Originally uploaded by telfandrea. Telfer's quest to become a better citizen of the world has culminated in the purchase of a Vespa (scooter). Driving the Chevy truck to work and back has been a little painful lately ($80 a fill up) and so...I originally was all...
Holy Crap, talk about great dinner conversation.
Talk to your doctor using the Bristol Stool Form Scale
on the wall of a RESTAURANT Originally uploaded by telfandrea. One of the questionable perks of being a resident (or the wife of a resident) is the drug-sponsored dinner. Usually we show up at a local chain restaurant, there's a lot of friends present, we eat, we talk, we drink, someti...
