Another Trip To The Doc!

Rachel had her 5th Doctor's Appointment today! She was 10 pounds 4 ounces (10-25%)! She is gaining more weight, and going up in her percentiles for weight! YEA! She was 24 inches long (75%)! I cannot believe she is already 2 foot tall! Her head circumference was 39 cm (25%). She got one more shot today, but she was a really good girl! She only cried for a minute! YAY RACHEL! :)

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Today was Mike's birthday! Yesterday, we had a family party for him! We all hung out and made hamburgers. We had cake and ice cream and he opened gifts. Rachel was the hit of the party, of course. Everyone wanted to see her! Jen had priority, though, because she only gets to see her seldomly! :) Today, Rachel and I made daddy a card and a collage of pictures of Rachel and Daddy. Both turned out very cute! We also took Daddy to lunch at Sonny's! After Mike got off work, we went to Ocala with his mom, dad, and Sam to eat at Cracker Barrel. We then went to Hobby Lobby and Sports Authority before coming back to Granny and Grandpap's house to eat more cake and ice cream! We had a great day!

Go Noles!

Rachel went to her 1st FSU game today! Boy, was it fun! Rachel did such a good job! We went to Pop and Granny Harrelson's house for lunch and to visit for a few, then went to the game. We went to Bill's Bookstore to get a Noles outfit for Rachel, then to the stadium! Rachel was awake for about a quarter of the game (off and on).
Everyone thought Rachel was the cutest thing. (I AGREE, OF COURSE!) One lady came down from about 15 rows up and asked if she could take Rachel's picture, because she was so cute! I said, "SURE!"
People all around us were asking about her, how old, etc. After the game, two ladies told us that she was a super baby! They could not believe how well behaved she was thoughout the entire game! It was wonderful!
I am so glad we got to take Rachel to her 1st FSU game! I was also happy that they won and it was such a good game! GO NOLES! It was beautiful weather outside, too! About 70 at game time!

What Was That?!

We went to John and Pam Kennedy's house this evening. Pam had never met Rachel before! Rachel was so sleepy! We went on the backporch and sat on the swing as Mike went to the pond to fish. Rachel fell asleep shortly. However... They have cows! One cow bellowed and Rachel popped her head up and looked at me like "WHAT WAS THAT?!" It was so cute... She went back to sleep and a little while later, a cow "moo'd" again! It did wake her up again! It was so cute... her first cow woke her up!

Papa's Birthday!

Today was Papa's (Don Harrelson) birthday! We went to Sonnys with him for lunch and then to his house for dinner. It was a fun day to spend with him!

FIRST MLB GAME!!!! ALCS GAME 7!!!!

Well... Yesterday afternoon, Mike got a call from Ross. Ross said that he had 4 extra tickets to the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Sox game in St. Pete and wanted to know if Mike wanted them. I had been trying to find tickets for Mike for several days, because this is a big game... Once in a lifetime! I convinced (not very hard) Mike to get the tickets and go! I was not going to go, but finally decided that it would be fun... Needless to say, about 30 minutes later, Mike, Sam, AJ, myself, and RACHEL were on our way to Game 7 of the American League Championship Series! It was so much fun! Rachel did WONDERFUL! She slept most of the game in her "Hugamonkey" sling! She woke up a few times, SCREAMING because it was SO LOUD, but she was nothing compared to everyone else! I had to hold her ears closed! :) The Rays WON! We stayed for the celebration, too! Check out http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb282/dbh04c/ for more pics!

I DO have Feet!

We went to Sam's Cross Country meet at Citrus today! Isn't she adorable! Rachel started "examining" her feet today! So Precious! She lays on her back and picks them up or just sits up and looks down... So fun to watch!

3 months, Already!

Rachel turned 3 months today... I cannot believe it! The time has flown by... I already want the time to stop! Mike keeps saying he can't wait for her to run to the door when he gets home from work... I keep telling him I want her to stay little! I don't want the time to go by so fast!

3 months means a weight check and pictures! :) She was 9 pounds 14 ounces today! She is putting on some weight. :) I took her to Walmart for pictures today, because it is so much more convenient. I promised Mike that I would only get the promotional package that has 33 pictures of one pose... We did the "Fairy" pose... It was a starry background like in the enchanted forest and they put little wings behind her... ADORABLE! :) She had a HUGE smile too!
