I'm a Big Girl Now!

Rachel now insists on eating off the Dinning Room Table, she is still not tall enough so pillows have to be used, she likes to include Russell in her feeding time, Mommy feeds some to Russell then She feeds some to Rachel, works well.

Top Tots !

Rachel and Mommy went to their free class at Top Tots, they really enjoyed themselves and found it very different to the Mom's and Babes class as this was at someones house who had converted half of her yard as the venue for Top Tots, with a jungle Gym, chark boards, basins with balls in and even a large trapiline. She had Huts were the classes were held. There was lost of singing and playing and Parachute time, which is Rachels favourite. Mom's camera run out of battery power so that is why so few pictures. Mom and Rachel hope to start lessons soon, but with Mom's shifts being so few which means money so short, it might only be next term.

Visit to Gateway

Mom, Dad and Rachel went to Gateway last Friday after Mommy's Visit to Dr Moore. Rachel really enjoyed her little car as well as the trip to McDonalds, only thing was that Rachel wanted her food and it wasn't coming fast enough. She also enjoyed her ride on the Barney Tractor, it took Mom and Dad a lot of coaxing to get her off. The way it worked was to say Goodbye and then she wanted to come with.

Visit with Aunty Bee

We went to visit Aunty Bee the other day, Rachel loves Aunty Bee and loves spending time with her, grabs her finger to "drag" her when she wants something from her. Rachel took all of Aunty Bees hankechiefs and drapped them all over her bed, Aunty Bee loved spending time with Rachel as well, it brightens up her life. They also were feeding the Hardydars as well. Rachel also says "More" now when she wants something and while we were at Aunty Bees that was Music and Aunty Bees Money box "Vet Gat". We need to have another visit there soon.

Mom is Home at last

Rachel has been without mommy for a couple of days last week, so she is very happy to have her back to herself for the last 5 days in a row. Mommy can't believe that it has been so long since she has updated the blog, but with Rachel around we arn't so surprized. Today has been a better day as far as letting Rachel do her own thing she is really so independent now that Mommy managed to read (go through) the whole Living and Loving, with out any disturbance from Rachel, she loves playing with her dolls and the latest is pushing Russell in the swing, she thinks that if she enjoys swinging so will Russell. Rachel also loves feeding the dolls with a old bottle of hers. She even burbs the baby too. She loves playing outside and Mommy and Daddy will have to invest in a table for Rachel now, since she is now wanting to use the bird table as her table as you can imagine to Daddys disgust. Rachel also went to visit Aunty Bee this last weekend, had great fun with her, as she always does, this time taking all of Aunty Bee's hankys and opening them up and pacing them is stratigic spots on Auntys bed. She also had lots of fun feeding the "Hardy Dares". Rachel has also settled well in Creche, yesterday Daddy dropped her off and she didn't cry, which is quite a thing since the last time she was in creche was almost a week before.

Feeding my Face

Rachel loves to feed herself, these are a couple of the latest pics of her doing just that, some have her in a good postion in the feeding chair, the other is her enjoying some moffin mix that her mother gave her as a snack. She really loves her food.
