I might eat it, but it doesn't mean I like it

It has been a fun few days with Rebekah this past week. While Scott was feeding her yesterday, Rebekah discovered something new. She learned how to gargle. She wanted to talk more than eat during the feeding and while she was doing so, she had some milk in her mouth. As she began to "sing", she made a gargling noise and loved it. She would pull the bottle to her mouth again, take a few sucks, then push it away and gargle with what was in her mouth again and then get a really big smile on her face. It was hilarious. She must have done it like 6 or 7 times having a blast with it. Unfortunately, Mary wasn't in a position to record it.
We also tried feeding her solids this weekend. The whole time, she looked at us like we were trying to poison her. She eventually started crying. She will, however, eat it. Scott will feed her some at which point she'll make the ugliest (cute) face and then swallow it down. When he would bring more food to her mouth, she would open wide again with a grimacing face, take the bite, eat it, and then make her ugly (cute) face again. It was as if she was willing to eat it just because we wanted her to. It was cute.
Rebekah seems to be on track for crawling soon, too. Right now she is doing some crawling--not the hands and knees type crawl but more of the scooting around. However, she can only crawl backwards, kind of like the baby moonwalk. She'll start rocking her legs and kicking them like crazy, then push herself way up while on her tummy that inevitably moves her backwards as she mimics a rocking ship or something.
The physical therapist says that she has been progressing well with her neck stretches and sitting up. Her reflexes are supposedly on the 9 month mark which is comforting.
Rebekah is an angelprincess, for sure :o).
