Rachael is 9.5 months old and doing so many new things. Today she waved bye-bye for the first time. I got her to sign "more" yesterday, although, she didn't really want more, she still deliberately did the sign for it. She is sliding all over the floor and getting into all kinds of things while there. She got a princess couch from Santa and she enjoys sitting on it with her toys.
The other girls got dress up boxes from Santa and they can't stay out of them. One is of princesses and the other is fairies. It has crowns, jewelry, wings, headbands, shoes and three outfits in each... they love it.

The whole house is sick!
We have been in Tallahassee for over two months now. We are all adjusting well. Samantha started pre-K a couple of weeks after we arrived and she loves it. She has a great teacher, which she likes, and a small class, which I like. Every week they are learning a new letter, what words start with it and the sound(s) it makes. She is growing up so fast.
This was Rachael's first Halloween and I couldn't decide what I wanted her to be. At the last minute, I saw a cute scarecrow costume and ordered it... it arrived on Halloween day... whew, that was close.
Rachael will be 8 months in a couple of days. She is sitting up very well, although, I still keep pillows around her, just in case. She spends a lot of time in the pack-n-play, which helps when she falls down. She rolls to her tummy from her back great. She is not so interested in the tummy to the back, though. She just gets mad and fusses until someone comes to get her. She still isn't getting a lot of floor time. We have hard surface floors here and when she is on a blanket, she just scoots and slides around. It's hard for her to have any leverage, but she will get it. Rachael has also started chattering. Sounds like she is trying to say "mama" or "mommy"... "ma ma ma ma". She is a mommy's girl, after all.
November marked the month of illness. It's the 10th and Rachael has been sick for over a week with RSV. She had a fever for several days, now is just left with an awful cough and runny nose. Of course, now everyone has the cough and runny nose and Meredith is flirting with a fever. She has had one off and on for several days. Not sure what is going on with her. Samantha has, so far, dodged the fever, but has all the other symptoms. We're just hoping that we don't get it and that everyone is well by Thanksgiving... actually before, because we are scheduled to go to Macon for doc visits.

Rachael is 5 months
Rachael will be 5 months old this week and we discovered her teething. We had Meredith's birthday party a few weeks early because we will be moving from Macon to Tallahassee over her birthday. During the day, it was discovered that Rachael had a tooth breaking through on the bottom right side. It was an extremely fussy day for her, in general, because of all the chaos and people that were there. Poor girl just couldn't get any rest at all.
She still is not rolling over, but she doesn't get as much floor time as I would like because Samantha and Meredith want to be in her face the whole time.

Rachael's laugh
Rachael starting laughing this week... I mean full-on cackling at me. I was changing her diaper while singing a song on CMT and apparently she thought it was rather amusing because next thing I know, the girl was giggling and cackling out loud. It was the cutest thing ever. I got out the video camera and of course, she stopped... just my luck.
Rachael is growing in leaps and bounds. She is 3 1/2 months old and has been wearing 3-6 month clothes since she was 2 months and will soon be in 6-9 months. They are getting too short. This girl is going to be tall... just like her sisters.
