Laughing!

I'm not sure why she thought this was funny, but last night she laughed for the first time (she has given us tiny chuckles before, but nothing like this). She went for a long time too, but anyway here is a piece of it.

3 Months Now!

Rachel is growing and growing. She started rolling over again! Right before she turned three months she started rolling over again, and now she won't stay on her belly. She smiles a lot now and I can't believe how contagious her smile is. We love it! She has a precious voice too. She keeps sleeping longer and she's going to bed earlier (we love it)! I never thought she would, but it has just been really gradual. I wanted to wait at least until she was three months before I started making her cry very long when she would go to bed, but it seems like she hit three months, and she actually wanted to go to bed. When its bedtime, she'll sometimes just go right to sleep, or other times she might cry for a few minutes, but she doesn't last long before she's out.

Kevin is done with school until this fall (one more semester until he graduates!!). So he's just working. The summer time should be fun, we want to do some hikes and maybe camping, we will see...

We got new phones and they have pretty good cameras on them. So here are some pictures to enjoy (some are from our other camera too). These are pictures that have been taken since the last post, so she is between 2 and 3 months.

Monta and Rachel

She was kind of a stinker at Grandpa's Birthday party. She was either fussy or sleeping.

Uncle Kade and Rachel

Ok, so she was being super funny. She couldn't decide whether to laugh or be sad, but her sad face was funny, cuz that bottom lip just curled right over.

Full of Smiles

I just had to share these pictures. We love this kiddo, she brings us so much joy!

She laughing at Daddy in this one.

Blessing and such.

So the blessing went really well. Kevin did really good, he is a great dad. We had a really good weekend hanging out with family. All of Kevin's siblings were able to make it, and we were able to get a family picture (even though it is going to be outdated by the end of the summer). Rachel is going to get a couple more cousins. We had a really good weekend and I think Rachel even enjoyed it.

Rachel weighs 10 lbs now, and is doing really good. She has forgotten how to roll over, but she is a busy body, so I don't think it will take her long to remember.
