She's on the Move

Rachel's walking with confidence now & has taken to climbing the stairs. She loves her "baby" doll and mimics so many things we do. She loves going outdoors and wants to be involved with her sisters and their friends--sitting right in the middle of the driveway while they rip-stick and ride skate boards. She's into emptying cabinets, music, and trying grown-up food off our plates. She got her first pair of shoe last week.

Madi & Julia had a fun spring break with friends in the neighborhood, clubhouse activities, visits to "Base Camp 1, 2, 3", and basketball camp at ASU. Photo here shows spring break breakfast after sleepover at U.S. Egg.

Rachel Walks at 10 Months Old

Rachel just keeps amazing us. She is now walking...taking several steps, arms outstretched. She loves to climb the stairs and climb onto things she shouldn't. She really likes being outside, swinging in the park or visiting the ducks at the lake. Everywhere we go, people comment on her eyes. She's very lovable, too---hugs her stuffed toys and pat them on the back. She relishes all the attention she gets from her big sisters. She even got to hang out with Madi's friends at her 11th birthday party and join the texting. Madi finally got the cell phone she has been begging for!
