10-months old

Today Rachel turned 10-months old.

She is growing and changing so much every day. She is on the move everywhere and is pulling herself up all the time - in her crib, in the pack 'n play, onto the dog bowl...anywhere she can. She has been eating more regular food - biscuits, pancakes, canned peaches, bananas, yogurt, mashed potatoes, green beans and waffles. She also loves eating her Gerber puffs and yogurt melts and still has some favorite baby foods like spring vegetables, macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, pears and apricots.

She makes us laugh constantly and is always smiling. We are still so in awe of her every day - the simplicity of watching someone grow and learn is amazing. All the little things we take for granted everyday take on different meaning when you see a baby learning them for the first time. We continue to feel blessed and very thankful every day for her.

Happy Birthday Rachel!
