Here's to Rachael

Rachael is 6 months old today. She is such a beautiful little girl. She is curious and strong. Sometimes I swear she already has an active sense of humor. Although the transition to mother (and baby) hood was difficult at times, I can't believe she hasn't always been a part of my life.

Snot

Rachael is suffering from her very first runny nose. Man, this kid has got a lot of snot. I've been wiping her poor, red little nose and using the bulb syringe regularly. In spite of my efforts, she just sneezed and the mucous flowed all the way past her mouth. Yuck. I had to hurry so she wouldn't suck it all off her lips. She pretty happy though, so I guess we're lucky this time.

Poopy Girl

Jamie was getting Rachael ready for bed tonight and Rachael decided she needed to fill her diaper before going to bed. This was after changing her a few minutes earlier. Apparently this put Rachael in a very good mood. She loves to be called Poopy Girl. So here is a few minutes of good laughs from Rachael.

Labor Day

Here are some of the pictures I took from our Labor Day weekend which we spent down in Utah with the fam. Aren't those kids cute? Oh, and Brett's cute too.

Monkeyin' Around

This is the monkey Aunt Karrie made for Rachael. I think she must have had some left over fabric from the blanket that came with. Karrie did include a warning label stating that it was not for scaring Rachael. Luckily, I think she really enjoys playing with it...well, sucking on it anyway.

35mm

One disadvantage to a 35mm camera: It takes a lot longer to post the pictures, especially when you have half a roll unfinished in the camera for a month or two. Anyway, I am now catching up. These pictures were taken at the Melaleuca Employee Picnic at the end of July. You can see what Rachael thought of all the festivities. They gave away tons of prizes. Grand prize was a trip to Cabo San Lucas...no, we didn't win. Oh well.
