Sunday September 14th








Life as an Ohio sports fan is rough and frustrating. The Indians are horrible, the Browns suck and Ohio State is what it is. They are like a 3rd grade bully who beats up the small and timid kids. But once a kid its own size comes along and stands up for himself, the bully cries and runs away.

Rachel is doing great. She just had her 6-month checkup and she is developing at an accelerated pace. She weighs 15lbs and 8ounces. She is also 26 inches long. Here are the bullet points from a checklist the doctor gave us about what to expect from a 6-month old baby.
*Rolls both ways - She has been doing this for at least 6 weeks now.
*Pulls to sit with assistance - Again, she has been doing this for about 2 months.
*Sits with support or leans forward on hands - She has been sitting without assistance for over a week. Her unofficial time for not falling is 25 minutes.
*Bears some weight on lower extremities - if you hold her hands, she will walk all over the place and has been for some time.
* Shows signs of displeasure - She gets awful angry and will give you a mean look if you take anything from her.

She can officially crawl now also. She scoots her way forward a few feet to go for toys and even though it takes some effort and concentration, she is moving.


She also babbles and makes noise constantly. She has quite an annoying whine she likes to make for long periods of time. I guess it is just her way of practicing how to talk. I figure once she starts, she will never stop. Much like her mother...




We don't have alot of "great" pictures to post, so i will give you the best of the best.

She is quite the cutie! I really like the Browns cheerleader outfit. Now if only they'd win...
