Another month has gone by! Amazing... Rachel is only 2 months away from her 2nd birthday. That's even more amazing. Jason and I can't get over how big she seems. When Ethan was 2, he did seem rather advanced in some things, but we figured it was because he was our first... and first time parents always think that of their kids. :) But with Rachel, we're shocked at how "ahead" she is, just from copying stuff Ethan does and wanting to be BIG like him.

She speaks very clearly now. Its rare that we don't know what she's asking or saying.

She loves babies and anything having to do with them.

She is addicted to brushing her teeth. Over and over and over again.

She adores Daddy. Can't get enough of him and gets jealous when Mommy has his attention.

She loves to sing.

She knows her birthday and when she says it, it comes out-- "Joowy 14!!"

She isn't very friendly with strangers, but if we show friendliness she warms up rather quickly.

She loves princess things and anything pink.

She's named the baby "baby mine" and says it IS a girl. :) Since finding out that we are having a girl, she says the baby's name is "Cinerwella"

She does not like watching TV

She doesn't like going on the potty -- she'll sit on it but won't go on it.

She doesn't like wearing tennis shoes. Only sandals and they must be pink.

She hates knowing you're upset with her.

She doesn't like dogs or cats (that's my girl!)

She does not like having her hair done... but she adores the outcome and Daddy's compliments.

She doesn't like being pushed by her brother (go figure) and lets him know by yelling "No, Efan! I said DON'T DO DAT!"

She brings much joy to our household and hears that she's cute way too much. :)
