Six Week Breakthroughs!

Baby Rachel is now 7 weeks old. We had a few breakthroughs during week 6. She is now sleeping through the night, smiling, and having conversations with herself (cooing)! We also got her little corner-of-the-room set up with her crib, cute bedding, dresser and some photos. A big "thanks" to the Reichman family for passing down Nathan's crib and dresser to Rachel. And a shout-out to fab photographer, Colleen Hayes, for beautiful "parts of Rachel" gift that brought me to tears.

The little one is now the chunky one....fat folds everywhere...arms, legs, neck; milk gut. I'm guessing she weighs about 12 pounds now. She is the spit-up queen, but something must be staying down as she has grown so much.

Rachel slept through another swim meet. Madi took 1st place in back- & breaststroke and Julia won the breaststroke this weekend at Las Sendas Club. I'm posting a few photos and a video from a few weeks ago. Madison also attended Valley Christian HS's basketball camp last week. They worked them hard for 4 hours each day; Madi earned Outstanding Camper-runner up and best 3 on 3 player honors.
