My Favorite Little Girl

Rachel is becoming such a little girl now and has so much personality!

I can't believe how much she's grown up!

~She talks non-stop in the car, and about everything. She tells us when there are trees, she counts the cars... "One, two, free, four... there's nother one, I see it... One, two..."

~She loves going through tunnels, otherwise known as overpasses...

~She waits to pass the "castle" when we drive pass downtown (the big catholic church that really does look like a castle)

~She tells Gavin "It's OK, Gavin, it's OK" getting louder each time when he cries

~She LOVES Zoe! She will give her hugs and kisses and they chase each other around the house. The poor dog even puts up with being fed tea from her play cups!

~She loves her some-stick, also known as chapstick, and has to put it on every night before bed

~She will let you know if she has a boo-boo and asks for a kiss to make it better

~She is also doing great with being potty trained! We were a little worried about her after Gavin was born, but she did not regress at all. She wears a pull-up during nap time and at night and if we take a long trip, but other than that it's big girl underwear all the way. She doesn't even need gummies as a reward anymore!

~She gives hugs and kisses and says that she loves us without us prompting her, and that makes my day!

~She says that things are "so cool" and "so cute"

~She loves having her hair in piggies... I'm going to miss doing her hair when I have to go back to work :(

~She says "Muskee" instead of excuse me, and "Ness" instead of Yes

~She is such a little Mommy- she changes diapers on her baby dolls and has to get a tissue to "wipe it" when her baby is "so stanky" (and yes, she says stAnky- don't know where she got that!)

~She is a GREAT big sister! Rachel loves her little brother and my heart melts every night when she gives him a kiss and says "I wuv you, Gabin" before she goes to bed. She hasn't asked us to take him back, and hasn't been too jealous

~She loves her daddy! She misses him so much when he's gone (see previous post about Daddy's Band) and she walks around with her phone and talks to him. And of course when they are together, she wrestles with him and yells from upstairs for him to carry her down the steps, and take her out to go swing, and simply has him wrapped around her little finger!
