Just being Rachel

Cheese.. she smiled on this attempt at posing! :)

Playing upside down... somersaults are sure to follow.
I'm cute.

So cute.
Rachel had on such a cute outfit this day but she wouldn't pose for the camera. She is mid-fit in this picture. :)

MMM - these granola bites are yummy!
Rachel playing with the neighbor boy.
Rachel and Gracie were snuggling on the chair. How cute!

Posing

Rachel agreed to pose for Daddy but didn't break a smile. Guess she felt these should be serious portraits. :)

Go Bucks!

While Daddy was at the game, we were cheering from Aunt Lissa and Uncle Mooch's house!

Aunt NeNe is so silly. Don't I look cool!

Grandma Weezie and Aunt NiNi came to stay for the weekend and play with me.

These parties are exhausting.

Gracie's Birthday Weekend

Cousin Gracie turned 1!!

Rachel hanging out with Daddy. Say Cheese!

Cute cousins!!

They really do like each other... their faces just don't show it. :)

Gracie doesn't look so happy to be naked in her high chair... but she sure liked digging into her cake!

Aunt Shnee was pretty smart to take off her clothes otherwise they would have been super messy!

Taking Rachel for a walk to the park.

We played on the swing and the slide and had lots of fun!

Uncle Bill and Daddy are just big kids!

It was a beautiful afternoon to go to the park.

Grandpa B and Uncle Bill sharing the bike.

Daddy and Calli are great pals.

Rachel was playing in Grace's playhouse made by Grandpa B.

The weekend wiped Rachel out!

We are so proud

We bought Rachel a potty this weekend.

She is such a big girl!

Mommy asked if she had to go potty and she said yes... so she's thinking about it.

Did I do it? Did I do it?

Success!!! 18 months old and she went to the potty on the first try. We are so proud! Daddy suggested I not include the photo with proof... it is available upon request. :)

Fun with a watering can

I love to play with the watering can!

It's not heavy... I am super strong!

I sure am the cutest watering girl around!

I like dumping out the water the most!

Going back in for more!

Labor Day Weekend

Lots of excitement while we were home for Labor Day: Papa's birthday, went to the park, swam at Aunt NiNi's ......... and I found out I'm going to have a Heimburg cousin!!! :)

Papa was a birthday boy!
I tried to help him blow out the candles.

Aunt GiGi put my hair in french braids for the 1st time!

I got some R & R at Aunt NiNi's. This is the life!

Daddy and I were having some fun in the pool.

Mommy & I were waving to Daddy with the camera.

Grandma Weezie was teaching me how to swim.

I like the pool.

Stop at the Park

While home in Canton Mommy, Aunt Lissa and Uncle Mooch took Rachel to the neighborhood park. A good time was had by all.

Look at me climbing through this tunnel.

Uncle Mooch was hot on my trail.

Don't let go Uncle Mooch...

Oh well this is ok... as long as Aunt Lissa is there to catch me.

Looks like I'm not the only one having fun here.

Uncle Mooch is just a big kid too!

This is fun.. as long as we don't go too fast. I don't want Aunt Lissa to throw up on me!
Whee... go higher... this is fun!
