Wednesday June 24th 2009





































It has been forever since I last posted and I have to apologize for that. We have been busy with work and have not really taken many pictures the last four weeks. I will do better about that.
We are all doing great here in Virginia and there is nothing significant to report. Rachel had her 15-month checkup and she is still perfect. She is in the 75th percentile for height and 10% for weight and head circumference. Basically she is a tall skinny kid with a cue ball for a head. But she is a cute cue ball child. Rachel still does not weigh 20-pounds. She is 19-pounds and 12-ounces.

Rachel has fallen in love with a tv show called Yo Gabba Gabba. It is a crazy,psychedelic kids show with strange creatures that sing and dance. It was created by some former musicians and the name comes from a Ramones song. Alot of underground bands guest star and play kids songs. It encourages to get kids dancing and each episode teaches kids new dances in segments. It is a show that is not too bad for a parent. Alot of college kids get high and watch it for the trippy colors and music. Rachel goes wild during the show and dances and thrashes the whole time. It is quote adorable. She also has 4-inch figurines of the 5 main characters and plays with them constantly. We have about 20 episodes on the DVR and Rachel HAS to watch one before bed or there will be hell to pay. When she is not dancing, she likes to crawl into a little laundry basket and get comfy. She giggles and screams and encourages me to pick the basket up and make her fly. There are pictures of her in the basket.

And speaking of dancing, Rachel is a dancer! No matter the time and place or music, if Rachel hears it, she will bust a move. She just loves wiggling around, moving her arms and legs and dancing. I will get some video and figure out how to post it here. We were all at a store the other day waiting in line and 'You can't touch this' by MC Hammer was on the speaker. She was going crazy dancing for all the people. She would quit when she realized people were watching but would soon forget and start dancing again.

Here are some pictures taken in the last month. Again, most were from same day or two. She has only had her hair up in little pigtails a few times. It just so happens that it makes us remember to grab the camera. I will get more pictures to post soon.
