Rachel is 10 months old!

Can anyone believe that Rachel is 10 months old??? It is hard for me to take it in that in 2 months she will be 1yr. What happened? Time is going faster and faster!!!

Ball with Barsky

Since Rachel is crawling everywhere she has discovered that if she finds Barsky's ball - she gets attention. So we set together and throw to ball to Barsky and normally have a great time. My favorite is when Rachel starts talking to the dog and just goes and goes and goes.

I'm Standing!!!

This month Rachel decided that standing is a great way to get a reaction out of her mother. The first time she did it, I fell off the couch. She just stands up were ever she wants and then starts clapping like she climbed a mountain. Just a week ago, she took 4 steps in a row. I don't think I am ready for this!

My new favorite thing...Laundry

If I can't find Rachel - I good look in my closet. She is turning into a laundry girl. (We teach them young here) she LOVES!!!!! unpacking the laundry baskets. We can load them up and she unloads them. After about 5 times, I try to find a different activity.

I'm Sleepy...

I just loved this day because of the pictures that were taken of me when I was little. I used to fall asleep every where! So I was feeding Rachel back at the beginning of the month and she just dropped her head and closed her eyes. I guess that is what happens when you have such a busy day getting into everything.

Hunter came to visit!

My friend Lorie Hughes and her son Hunter came and visited us the other day for lunch and a break from life. We had a great visit and Rachel loved having someone to play with. At the end of the visit Hunter asked for a picture with Rachel so that he could be in her scrapbook. So we took a couple of pictures and thought that they turned out (kind of - Rachel wouldn't sit still and Hunter keep saying, she is running away)
