All Caught Up

I'm totally shocked at how much more fun I'm having blogging now that there is really something fun to blog about. Rachel has definitely been a joy in our household. I can't believe it's been over a month now that we have had her full time in our home. Things are going really well with her. She has hit some awesome milestones since we got her.
*The Physical Therapist took her out of her feet and ankle braces because she is walking really well and everything had been correct.
*Her feeding therapist was completely shocked at how well she was doing that she was able to be released from that also. We sometimes still have to remind her to chew her food because she likes to just leave it in her mouth to suck on but for the most part she is chewing awesome.
* Her favorite crackers are Chicken in a Biscuit and fruit snacks
* She has learned a new lullaby song that Scott's grandmother used to sing to him. You can leave words out and she can fill them in.
* She loves to say "Ready, Set, Go", "Sweet", "Silly Goose", and "NO"
* She is the most dainty dipper I have ever seen.
* She has learned how to growl like a bear and then tackles her big white teddy bear.
* She can take the laptop keys off in point 2 seconds.
* She loves to be rocked.
* She has learned Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam
* She loves to make faces with her tongue
* She has learned eyebrows, eyelashes, chin, and she says "cheeks" so cute
* She is very strong willed and independent and wants to do things on her own
* She loves snow
* She saw Santa five times but only sat on his lap four times during December

We have loved having her sweet spirit in our home. We have had our trials but she is so worth all the laughs, hugs and kisses that we get in return. We love you Rachel.

Eating Spaghetti

So I titled this eating spaghetti but I should have just said playing in my spaghetti. We were told when she eats spaghetti she gets it everywhere. Well we decided to let her have some. I don't think we will do that again for awhile. I really don't think she got anything in her mouth. Eventually she just had her fingers in her bowl completely playing in it. We let her play for awhile and then I just had Scott take her to the bath tub while I cleaned up the kitchen.

Mess Mess Mess everywhere. :-)
