Happy Birthday Rachel! Rachel turned two today and time has just flown by. It is just amazing how much of an adult person she is compared to the baby she was. She communicates with words and actions instead of just grunts and cries. She has her own personality and it is just breathtaking to watch her. I love you Rachel.
Rachel does not fully comprehend what is so special about her birthday but she thoroughly enjoyed the 'bella balloon and the cake and presents. Even though we did not buy her anything of note, she has a tricycle or small bike in her immediate future. We took her to Toys R Us to try and pick out a small wheeled contraption but none seemed perfect. She did not seem to be strong enough in the legs to pedal a tricycle but the 4 wheeled walking bike seemed to be something that would soon be outgrown. We are still looking for the right thing...
Rachel got a small tray of Brownies as her cake. Lisa bought some red 'neon' icing to put on the brownies but it was barely noticeable on it and all it did was turn Rachel's mouth and hands bright red.
Rachel has her 2 year doctor appointment tomorrow, so we will have height and weight posted later.
We are all doing fine. Work for both of us is a bit stressful and while we are thankful to have jobs, there is a reason it is called work and not fun.
Here are some pictures taken from tonight.
