A Month in a Nutshell!!

What a month!! We have been busy and sick!! Rachel had a fever for a few days and we had to call in back-up from Nana to watch Rachel while she stayed home from school for three days! Below is a picture of Rachel as she was finally recovering...notice her ribbon barrettes. Aunt Gloria made those for me when I was Rachel's age and now Rachel LOVES to wear them!!
Rachel and Cooper. Rachel is such a good big sister and Cooper loves his sissy SO much!

Cooper just turned 6 months old on the 9th. It's amazing how quickly half a year can just fly by. Cooper has changed so much this month. He is still incredibly verbal, constantly babbling with the family. As you can see, he has started holding his bottle (yay!) and he is almost sitting. He still doesn't roll over consistently, but he can. He pushes up a lot and although he is not trying to crawl, he does ending up scooting around!

Cooper's six month smile!!! Million dollar smile, don't you think?

This is our Cooper-man...SOOOOO happy!

Eric at Rachel's school in the caboose that sits in the library. Eric is so ready to go to school...two more years, Buddy!

This was Eric at the end of Rachel's PreK program...he was waiting for "his friends" to come on the stage so he could have a turn singing. Like I said, he is so ready!!

Rachel's self portrait - age 5!! Love it!

Last night was the PreK program at Rachel's school. Unfortunately, my scanner is not working. But, Rachel's artwork was the COVER of the program! She was by far the most beautiful little girl there and we must admit, she was the best speaker!! Her class sang a fun arrangement of "The Wheels on the Bus," "If You're Happy and You Know It," "Itsy, Bitsy Spider," and more!! It was lots of fun and so cute!!

Rachel's line, "We learned about a spider who wanted to be friends with Ms. Muffet."

She did SOOOO well!!!

Here is Rachel in the middle of her classmates! Aren't they so tiny!!!

What a fun month! Hopefully, we can keep up better this next month!
