Rachel

 This little girl is already 6.5 months! The time is flying. We've finally come to pictures that are a little more recent, I'd say she is about 6 months in most of these.

 I just think the facial expressions on both these girls is pretty funny.

 Figuring out how to use the spoon. 

Her first time eating solids, yummy rice cereal, well, maybe not that yummy, she doesn't exactly look that pleased.

Up close and personal. What a cutie!

Fun facts about Rachel:

- She is very smiley, always smiles when you get her in the morning and when she's up from naps. 

- She loves her family and is always excited to see Mom and Dad and sister Macy.

- She rolls over now, and can go both ways, but seems most often to roll from back to front, and then get stuck there and squawk until you help her out.

- She is eating solids now and enjoying them. Mostly cereals, meats, and veggies. She eats the healthiest out of all of us!

- She loves being in the exersaucer and still in her bumbo.

- She puts everything in her mouth, so much more than Macy did, and is very grabby, she's got a strong grip!

- She is finding her voice, and loves talk to you.

- She is still a chunky baby, weighing in probably at about 18.5 lbs by now. 

- Nicknames: Rachy Roo, Rachel Poo Poo (Macy's favorite, think back to wanting to name our elf, "Stinky, smelly, poopy, pants!), turkey.

- Areas with need for improvement: napping during the day. These are still really short and never regular.

She is such a joy to have in our family. We love you Rachel!
