I gave Rachel a banana for the first time today. She's had them before but not in the 'real' form. As soon as I gave her the piece today, she put it in her mouth and took a little piece off. She wasn't sure about it at first but as time went on, she quite enjoyed it...
She thought the word 'banana' was quite funny. When I would say it, she would start to giggle. So easily amused (like her mother). :)
It ended up being such a beautiful afternoon - once the storm rolled through. I was supposed to make ham & cheesy potatoes but I thought we should have a bbq instead. I mean, it was 23 degrees out - as if I'm going to turn the oven on! Rachel got a kick out of watching Ron while he was bbq'ing.
Flippin' the bird! What a bad girl - I wonder who taught her that? 
Here she is watching Ron - she stood there the whole time he was out there. He said she was smiling away. Our windows are the perfect height for her to stand at. She is doing really well with standing while holding on to something. We play a little game at night where she stands on the couch beside me (I'm not standing on the couch - ha ha) and Ron is on the other side of the couch and he plays HIS version of 'Peek-a-boo'. She gets so excited - her legs are moving all over the place - moving up & down - and she does well with that. I know in a few months she'll be even more mobile - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

You guys are just lucky to HAVE a BBQ! (my hubby almost burned ours down (long story) the night before we moved so we are sadly sans BBQ, and craving it!
Rachel is getting more and more mobile, I see - and I bet - more independent? Yep, wait and see, she'll be standing everywhere before you know it and off like a shot one day in the near future. Not sure if I myself am anticipating that with pleasure or not! :)
Happy standing, Rachel - way to go!
