Daily Life with Rachel

Rachel is almost 6 months old. It is hard to believe she is almost halfway through her first year. She will be starting solid foods this weekend, but in the meantime we have let her gum an apple. The green ones are a little sour, but the reddish yellow ones are yummy!

Rachel enjoys looking in the mirror and grabbing at things she sees in the mirror. We get a kick out of watching her try to grab her toys' reflections or her own reflection. She can't figure out why she can't grab them.

Besides grabbing at the mirror, Rachel loves to reach for and grab just about anything she can get her hands on. This lands in some pretty interesting places including the laundry basket. Laundry baskets make a pretty fun toy.

Daddy is also a lot of fun and makes a very good playmate. It is fun to be tossed in the air by Daddy and ride around on his shoulders.

While Daddy is at work, if the weather is nice we head outside to pull weeds. The backyard provides a nice change of scenery. Because of her grabby hands and desire to put everything in her mouth Rachel and the weed pile are not allowed near each other. Unlike apples weeds are not good to eat.
