Relaxing at Lake Lure

We stayed in a villa overlooking a golf course in Lake Lure. It was very quiet and relaxing.

We saw deer almost every morning from our balcony.

Rachel was looking at Daddy over the couch.

She got good at standing up and looking out the window.

Mommy, Daddy and Rachel spent a day at the pool where Rachel got in all the way for the first time.
Daddy was teaching her how to swim.
Warming up in the sun after getting out of the pool.
This cute towel was a gift from Taya and Muncy. Isn't she precious?

Biltmore Estate

We took a tour of Biltmore Estate on our vacation.

Biltmore house ... Big enough?

Mommy was sporting the latest fashions... wearing Rachel as an accessory.
Look how big that leaf is!

Me and a Spoon

We've begun the adventure of solid foods. Here is Rachel's first time with cereal and a spoon.

Here I am getting ready to eat.

I'm not so sure I like this.

OK, I really don't think I like this.

Let me work this thing on my own.

OK, its not that bad I guess.

Finished product. :)

We can't forget Calli... she is still a cutie after all. She is practicing her balancing act.

Day at the Pool

On Rachel's 4 month birthday we decided to hit the pool and relax. She wasn't a huge fan of the water so we'll have to work on that. But she sure is cute in a bathing suit. We had people stop by just to say how pretty she looked in her outfit. :)

Just another day

I'm a happy baby.

Grandpa B holds me way up high.

I like my hair blowing in the breeze.

I'm playing with Mommy while we lay on our bellies.

See me sticking my tongue out at you!

First Day at Day Care

Rachel did well for her first day at school. Her caregivers love her. I think Mommy was more sad than Rachel when she left.
