Rachel Talking

Rachel loves to talk to get our attention now. She's so stinkin' cute! Yes, we realize that all of her toes do their own thing!

Last weeks pictures

Here are just some pictures from this past week. Rachel is getting so big and doing so much now! Can't believe she's pushing 4 months already!

Dustin had to go out of town for the weekend, so Mom and Dad Nieter decided to keep me and Rachel company. So glad they came, I wasn't feeling very well so they got to spend some quality Rachel time while I got some quality relaxing time!

This is the last of the snow from December 18th! It's been here for SO long! It is now completely gone since we had a lot of rain today. I'd like to see another snowfall this season to get out in it again... plus we have 2 more built in snow days that we can't waste!

Singing and dancing with Daddy to Ray Charles.

Watching Sesame Street videos on You Tube. Hey, it worked to keep her happy for a little while!

Zoe showed Rachel how to roll over!




So glad that awful bath was finally over!

Rachel Flips and other stuff

Video clips from the past week.

New toy- new trick

Rolling over!

So today we were taking Rachel's 3 month pictures (they'll be up soon) when she decided she didn't want to be on her tummy anymore. So glad we were doing pictures... we caught her! (Actually this was her 2nd time, and by we I mean Dustin!) She looked so confused and excited to be looking up at the fan.

Rachel is now "talking" all the time! She loves to do it, especially to get our attention if we're in a different room.

Zoe in the Snow!

Sorry it took so long to get this post up! Zoe had a great time in the snow. I don't know if she was more excited about the snow, or the fact that Rachel was napping and she had our undivided attention! (somewhat... I had the monitor right with me of course and kept running back in the house to check on her- don't worry!)

Christmas with the family!

The best gift this year!

Aren't my two glow worms cute!

Rachel loves her Raggety Ann and Andy dolls! (can't you tell?)

Blake wanted the hat, I think!

Blake was sad that all presents were open. (Actually he cut his finger that morning and was still a little sad about it- poor guy!)

Family picture... the bone is what got Zoe in there!

Zoe was tired... she and Millie had a busy few days chasing each other!

Dustin's parents opening a special gift from Rachel... a set of her footprints that looked like a butterfly. (We got one too! I'll take a picture and post it later)

Christmas Eve

Dad N. with Kim's niece, Anna. She thought he was so funny!

Anna and Blake love each other!
The two buddies again.

Uncle Brent and Rachel hangin out.

I had all the girls helping me open a gift to Rachel.

Rachel's first Christmas!

We had Christmas early at our house. We were snowed in and were going to leave the next day for Chesapeake, so we opened gifts here then saved stockings for Christmas morning.

I think Daddy had more fun with Rachel's toy than she did... it lights up and makes lots of noise!

Mommy had fun with it too!
Rachel was so excited to have her first Christmas!
