Nine Weeks Old

Rachel turned 2 months old this week! She got her 2 month shots which weren't much fun...two shots (one in each leg) and one oral vaccine. She cried of course, but was otherwise fine. She didn't really run a fever or anything like that but we certainly kept her doped up with Tylenol for the first 24 hours though...to avoid any potential meltdowns!

She weighed 10 pounds 4 ounces which was almost 2 pounds more than her one month visit...so she's really growing! She was also 23.5 inches long...she's going to be a tall girl!

Here's a pic of Rachel just "hangin' out" while I was getting ready to go somewhere. And yes, she just has on a t-shirt becuase if there's one thing we've learned the hard way...it's that you don't put on her clothes until you're ready to walk out the door...otherwise, there's alot better chance that you'll be changing her clothes before you walk out the door...ah, lessons learned:o)


Rachel just loves her new "surfboard" that her counsins Cade and Laura gave to her...she's been surfing up a storm every day since we got it! Thanks cousins!





Last Friday night we decided it was time to get out of the house and on to a restaurant that wasn't fast food...so we went out to Providence to try the pizza place. It was really good pizza! Rachel was asleep when we got there but woke up soon before the pizza arrived...go figure...so Adam and I had to take turns eating a piece of pizza and then holding her so the other one could eat. Luckily, the Laniers (a family from our church) was seated next to us so they didn't mind her crying a little. It was really loud in there anyways, so it wasn't a huge deal. Here's me and her before we headed out in our coordinating outfits...my shirt was green with hot pink and her dress was hot pink with a green flower on it. Also, even though you can't see them, I had on my favorite khaki capris! I was so happy to fit back in them! I still have about 10 pounds to go to be back to pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm at least starting to fit back in some of my favorite clothes!
