Rachel's Birthday Party: San Francisco Part 2

After our fun day in the city (see previous post) we went home and had a little party for Rachel.












Rachel loves Big Bird. Remember this? She carries this photo around our house saying "Big Bird".


So, we took the hint and made her a Big Bird cake. I think she really liked it.

Rachel was a little confused by the candle.

Good thing she has a big sister to help out. Thanks, Hannah!

Bye, bye!

Half Birthday

Last week was Hannah's 2 1/2 birthday and the week before that Rachel turned 6 months old! We had a cake to celebrate.

A note about the cake: Hannah and Dan went out to our backyard and picked a bucket full of wild blackberries. Yum. So I made a really yummy blackberry filling that made this blah-box cake a little more festive. I was going to make the cake look yummy too, but ran out of time and just threw the frosting one so we could eat it and send those tired girls to bed already!

Little Rachel was very upset that she didn't get any cake. Sorry, baby. You can have cake on your actual birthday. Here are the stats from Rachels 6 month check up....

She is 14lbs (the 10th %) and 27 3/4" long (97th %). The doctor was very impressed by her strength and sitting abilities. She said Rachel is sitting at an 8th month level ;)

Happy half-birthday to my beautiful little girls!
