We are pretty much settled now. Decorating still hasn't really happened, and there are a few things that haven't been unpacked yet, like books and such. The list of things that we need to do with the house is never ending, and the things we want to do just keeps getting longer. I don't know that you ever get "caught up". We're liking it for the most part though. We have yet to go camping this year... hopefully this weekend though. Kevin keeps busy doing stuff with the yard and house. The people before us apparently didn't know what a stud was, so Kevin has fixed a lot of stuff that was screwed into the drywall.
Rachel and I went to the Library for the first time. She was in heaven, and I was very tired after. She normally loves to bring us books and have us read them to her, but all she wanted to do there was rip them all off the shelves...
She is saying a new word every day it seems like. She usually surprises us. I haven't been very good with the baby signing, but she got to the point where she would scream at us when she wanted something, so we taught her "please" and "more". She knows where most of her face is. She says "eye" and "eyes" and "no" for nose. She says "go" and "car" and "moe" for more. She can say "you" really good. When she says "I love you" she points to her eye, folds her arm, and points to us and says "you". Love it!
She is always jabbering, and she especially likes to look through a book and pretend to read. She hasn't done this for a while, but she would walk around with her arms folded and her head bowed and be talking to herself like she was praying. That made us laugh. She catches onto things fast, I'm just not fast enough at teaching her.
Anyways, here are some pictures since last time.
Rachel goes to bed really good. There are some occasional days where we have had a busy day or we have visitors and she protests a bit, but for the most part she likes to get in her pj's, loves her book, sits quite for prayers, then reaches for her crib. This was last night. I walked in on them and had to go get the camera. Good thing the book was long. Kevin was improvising the words, "...and this is a really long book..."
She loves being outside and she loves the swing set in our backyard. My only complaint is she still needs my help with everything on the swing set. We got to the playground down the street and she can climb up every thing really good, but the slides are always hot, so she won't go down by herself. Can't blame her.
Rachel hangin' at her favorite spot.
Katie came to visit! Way fun weekend. We went to the Denver Aquarium while she was here.
There was no flash allowed, so the pictures are pretty shotty.
That is Katie and I, can't tell, but it is :)
Giving the starfish "high five"
Probably gross, but she was giving the fish a kiss.
She was being a tour guide.
Saying "good night".
She is constantly at work (work for her, making messes for me). Its bad when she gets a tool like a laundry basket though. More damage in less time. Mostly moving toys from here to there.
We get to see our cousins Jayden and Kylie a lot, but never remember to take pictures. I didn't even know these were on the camera, daddy did good while Mommy and Michelle were yard selling :) We did good that day! Got a practically new indoor playground ($20), nice microfiber glider and foot rest ($30), some shelves to put up on the wall ($1), a full body mirror ($1), and a bunch of toys for $0.25 a peice. I was most excited about the glider :)
