Smile!

Rachael has 2 more teeth. They broke through on Thursday. She already has her 2 bottom front teeth, so now she has 4 all together. The new ones that came in are one of the top front and the one lateral to it (next to her canine). It seems a weird way for them to come in. But, we are glad that they are finally here.

Dinner Time

Rachael really loves Koda. She really, really loves to feed him. By hand. Every day. Koda doesn't mind the arrangement so much either.

Itsy Bitsy

Rachael can ask for two songs now: Itsy Bitsy Spider and Twinkle, Twinkle. Of course, I have to do all the hard work...

Pride

So, I don't think it's exactly pride. I just don't know what else to call it. I'm not comparing myself to anybody...I just can't get over how beautiful this bread is. I've been trying for awhile to get a good wheat bread going. Well, this is it. It's 100% whole wheat, super soft, and yummy. When I pull a loaf out of the oven, I think, "Wow! That is gorgeous." It's sort of like the feeling I get when I get done with a drawing and am just amazed that something that good was created by me. Ok. I'm probably rambling now. I'll just let the picture do the rest of the bragging. Sorry, no smell-o-vision.

Blue Angels

Today we went to go watch the Blue Angels at the air show. We did not want to pay to get into the airport and deal with the crowd so we went to the soccer fields next to the runway. This was probably one of the best spots to watch them from since they were flying right over head. We were buzzed several times. We forgot to bring our camera so all we had was our cell phones. Here are some pictures that we were able to get.

What Happened to My Baby?

It's only 10:15 a.m. So far this morning Rachael has: found my shoes and carried them around the house awhile; decided that Koda must be hand-fed his kibble; and found a kleenex and tried to "wash" the cabinet fronts in the bathroom. Right now she is throwing a foot-stamping tantrum. I'm not sure why. I think she might have been trying to get a toy out from under a huge pile in the toy box. She doesn't deal well with frustration. And in the time it took to type that, she is now drinking from her sippy cup and dancing. It's only 10:19 a.m.

We Have a Tooth, etc.

Rachael's first tooth erupted last Thursday. Hooray! Sorry no pictures...it's still pretty hard to see and she doesn't like me messing around in her mouth at the moment. So, on Mother's Day Rachael took her first steps, about 4 at one time. She did that up until last Saturday when she busted out with a walk across the length of the living room toward her toy in the dining room. Woo Hoo! We also do not have a good video of her doing that yet. But it's a comin'.

Agility Too

Here are a couple of stills of the first part of the course to go with the video below.
