A lot of catching up...

It's been awhile since I've posted here - we've been super busy and I just haven't had the time to post an update.

Rachel is one little busy girl now - she's into EVERYTHING! She crawls everywhere, she's cruising around the furniture and getting comfortable enough that she only uses one hand to support herself now. She LOVES walking around with her one little toy and she's even having fun with her 'ride on' toys. It's cute to see her move her little legs to get the toy moving.

We took Rachel out with us on our anniversary. We just went to Jack Astor's for dinner but she had a blast! Of course they had to sit us near the bathrooms so everyone that walked by stopped to smile at her or make a comment....and Rachel LOVED the attention.

We had a busy long weekend. Ron & my Dad finally put up the swing set we got for Rachel. We were playing with it on Saturday morning and Rachel was having a blast. It was too hard to use the slide though - she needs to gain more muscle control and balance for that but the swing is definitely a hit! On Sunday we went over to my parents for a bbq. It was great to see everyone - basically the Christmas Eve crowd - and we had a blast. Then on Monday we went to visit Mark, Sally & Luke in Bayfield. They are borrowing a friends trailer for the week so it was nice to visit & relax. Rachel was a bit of a bully around Luke because he's not crawling or moving around yet. She would go up to him and take his toys or try to crawl over him, etc. I guess this is her chance to do that now because one day he'll be doing that to her, I'm sure! :)

I've tried to upload pictures but Blogger is not cooperating right now. I'll have to try again later.
