Merry Christmas 12-25-08


















































































































































































Today was Rachel's first Christmas. She slept in until 10:00am and that made the whole family happy. Her "big" present this year was a walking toy that resembles a grocery cart. She can stand behind it and hold on wand walk forward. She has already figured it out and scooting around the rooms. Here are some pictures taken from this morning with Rachel trying to eat wrapping paper. The Christmas tree decoration in the picture was given to us by Lisa's sister Tammy and that is Rachel's first ornament.
We all three seem to have a cold and have runny noses. Unfortunately Rachel does not allow us to wipe the constant stream of wetness coming from her nostrils. She fights and turns away and Lisa has dubbed her a snot monster. By last night, Rachel's cheeks were bright red from being chapped due to all the wiping we had to do. They are sensitive to touch and we have been putting lotion and cream on them. It is amazing that someone that size can produce her body weight in snot.
