Rachel's room

Rachel's room was done about a month ago but I just finally got some pictures taken. I picked out the color to match her bedding and it looked great on the swatch but once we got it up on the wall it looked a lot brighter. I was going for a lighter pea green. so at first I wasn't sure I liked how it turned out but it quickly grew on me and now I love it. It was dark blue before and what a pain it was to paint over because we had to do two coats of white first to hide the blue then two coats of green. the most annoying thing was the trim around the middle of the wall. It made the job take a lot longer but I am pretty happy with the end result.

P.S. I just love how big the closet is!

Flashback Friday on Saturday

I didn't get around to doing this yesterday but the day doesn't really matter anyway. ok this is Will as a baby. The picture has water damage from a flood so it is stuck inside the frame. Thats why I had to take a picture of the picture. haha. I think Rachel looks a lot like her daddy from this photo. She definitely has that same expression on her face sometimes. I see the resemblance in the facial features. Her head is a bit smaller though. Does anyone else see it or is it just me because I'm her mommy?

Checkup

Rachel had her 15 month check up on thursday and here are the results:
Weight- 18lbs 0%
Height- 29 1/2 in. 20%
Head- 46cm 50%

The doctor says she is still really under weight but since Rachel is happy and healthy and eats like a pig most meals, then she is not concerned about it. Luckily she didn't get any shots with this visit but next time she will.

Flashback Friday: New Years 04'

This is about 3 1/2 years ago on new years eve. We had just barely started dating and Wow how young we look! We got professional photos taken because Will had just given me that locket I am wearing around my neck and we needed a picture for it. We figured that the photographer could shrink it enough for us. I'm glad we did it because the pictures turned out really nice.

Doesn't Rachel look cute today?

Flashback Friday: Christmas 05'

This photo is Will and I at the beach in Monterey,CA. This was christmas of 2005 when we were engaged. We were in Monterey that day to celebrate my little sister's birthday. We got married 3 weeks later.

Almost walking

I have been hoping for a while now that Rachel would start walking because sometimes life would be easier if I didn't have to carry her everywhere. Well she is not walking on her own yet but she is getting close. She can stand up by her self and balance and she will walk if she has something to hold onto. We are practicing with her every day. A lot of people say that once she is walking, we will wish she wasn't. What do you say? Do you encourage walking or not?
