Pictures pictures pictures

We've got lots of random pictures, so I guess it's time to catch up.

We got a walker for Annie so I don't have to walk around holding her fingers all day when she wants to walk (now it's only 75% of my day). Of course Rachel had to test it first.
 
Baby toys bring out the baby in Rachel. She knows just how to do it. Notice the fingers in her mouth, just like Annie did when it was her turn when she woke up from her nap.
 
Annie happy because she has her very own marker to play with:
 
Messy face girl:
 

 
Rachel at her current favorite spot in the house: her table where she colors and writes for hours on end.
 
She actually wrote out a whole conversation here. I was so impressed. It's the first time she's taken it upon herself to write this much without asking for help at all. (If you click on the picture it blows up big.)
 
Some of the spellings really were pretty close. IEND=isn't (she just missed an S as far as sounding it out is concerned). CT=cute.

She's also taken to drawing her own pictures on occasion. I love it when she tells me the whole story of what's going on. This one was done after watching Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs when she told me she was going to draw a long neck dinosaur that is nice and doesn't eat people. I've added in her explanations of who is who (though every time she told me most of the names changed as to which one was which person).
 
Rachel not only loves to draw and color and write, she LOVES to cut with her scizzors. And on Friday she decided her hair needed a trim. She cut about an inch or two off of her ponytail:
 Once the ponytail was out it wasn't incredibly noticable, but still needed some evening up.
 
So I chopped it all off. Or at least like 4 inches or so.
 
She's a fan of her hair cut. I tried to take some pictures, but she was being a goof ball, closing her eyes everytime she heard the beep of the camera focusing right before it actually took a picture. It turned into a pretty fun and funny photo shoot.
 

 

 

 


She's a cutie pie. :) We love her, scizzors and all.
