Rachel




Our baby turned one 3 weeks ago and I am still in denial. I took her in for her 1 year check-up and shots today and she was less than happy about the whole thing. She had to have 3 shots and this stupid finger poke/torture procedure where they squeeze hundreds of drops of blood onto this card to be sent off to check for lead poisoning. It was really cruel, I thought. Rachel agreed. Our girl is growing beautifully and is hitting all the 'milestones.' She weighed 21.5 pounds and is 31.5" long. Her height is off the charts. No surprise there. Anyway... I took these pictures of her today in the outfit Becky sent her for her birthday. I had to get her in it before she grew out of it (which will probably be next week).

Soooo CUTE! I love it. I can't wait to see it on Becky's baby, but only if she has a girl, and then it can be passed to me when I have a baby in a few years!! :) Cute Rachel pictures!

I love the pictures of her sitting on the bench(or whatever that is). She looks so much like I remember Sarah looking when you lived here. When I first clicked onto your blog, I wondered why you had put Rachel's name over Sarah's baby pictures!

Very, very cute header! Did you make it?

Thanks Tiffani I did make the header. It was getting to where everytime I opened my blog I wanted to puke. It was too busy and bright. I spent way too long designing the header and scanning/formatting it onto my blog, but I think I'm finallly happy with my template. Let's see if I can actually let it be for a while :)

She does look cute, I found the other wintery outfit I got her as soon as I mailed it. I will send it with your other stuff, plus I found Rens swim shirt which I told you, but then the other day I totally spent hours cleaning out chases room (it was disgusting) well I found a pajama shirt thatt I think is Rens too.

She is so cute. I can't believe it's been a year since we were there in AZ after she was born. I miss you guys and I need to get a B-Day present in the mail for her and the other kids I've missed...bad aunt.
