"I'm cute!"

Rachel found a pair of Jacob's military issued prescription sunglasses and had to try them on!

The expression  on her face in this bottom picture makes me giggle because this is the expression she gets when she knows she is cute. She gets this look when puts on a hat or gets a bow in her hair or something like that!

Isn't she the cutest little girl ever?

Obsessions

This first picture exemplifies two of Rachel's obsessions, hats and shoes! She notices every hat in every book we read and when we are at the grocery store she makes sure to point out everyone who is wearing one!

When Jacob comes home from work instead of yelling "Dada," she usually yells "hat!"

   

And all day long she is either bringing me her shoes to put on her, or my shoes to put on me or Jacob's shoes so we can talk about dada. She is so funny! I'm not sure why she is so obsessed with these items, but she is.

This little girl cracks me up with the things that she likes! She definitely didn't get either of these obsessions from me! I love this funny little Rachel-girl!

Bed head and Oatmeal

Rachel wakes up with the wildest hair sometimes and I love it!

The first thing Rachel says when I go get her from her room in the mornings is "Dada" because she wants us to go find him so she can give him a hug. The second thing she says is "Eat!" and she will say it over and over until breakfast is ready an she can eat it. She wakes up so hungry in the mornings. She must get that from her daddy!

Rachel's very favorite thing to eat for breakfast is oatmeal! She loves it so we have it for breakfast almost everyday. She the huge bites that she takes? 

"Feed me more Oatmeal!"

I love this funny, crazy-haired, hungry girl of mine!

Rachel's Box

A little while ago we got a package from amazon and before I had even emptied out the box, Rachel let me know she wanted it, the box that is. I put her in the box and she started signing car and making her car noise. We pushed her all around the house in her little box car and she loved it. She would climb in her box and bring her toys and play there by herself for an hour at a time which for her is very unusual!

She played and played and played in this box until it got ripped and broken, but she didn't care, she still loved it!

The box met it's untimely demise though when Rachel was sick a little while ago. She had one episode of diarrhea and it happened to be all over her box. :(
I may just have to order something else off of amazon soon so that Rachel can get another box!

Rachel's New Word

Rachel keeps spouting out new words everyday. It is fun to hear what new things she will come up with next. Her new word of the day is "geeky." I was talking to Jacob and I called something geeky. I had to repeat myself a few times because he couldn't tell what I was saying. Rachel must have thought it was fun to say because once she started saying it, she kept repeating it over and over all night long. She probably kept saying it because she knew we thought she was funny, that little girl will do almost anything if she thinks it will make mommy and daddy happy!
