Oakland Zoo: San Francisco Part 3

We went to the Oakland zoo while we were in San Francisco. The girls had a great time. It was so fun to take Rachel there are remember when we took Hannah when she was little.

Memories

Sister's riding the turtle together.

Rachel pet the goats!

I was pretty proud because she isn't the "animal lover" that Hannah is.

Checking out the elephants with Grandma and Grandpa.

Rachel loved riding the train...

but Hannah skipped the train so she could ride the motorcycles...

and the cars.

Both girls loved the carousel!

Hugs for Mommy on the carousel

girl scouts honor? aye aye chief?

Birthday Stats

The girls had their well baby check-ups today. This is the first time they had thier appointments together and it went well. I think I will do it that way from now on. Anyway...here are the stats:

Hannah is 37 3/4" tall (75th %) and weighs 30 lbs and 2 oz. (50th%). She was fantastic at the doctors office and did great letting the doctor check her out. She had 3 shots in her arms and did great--she didn't cry at all.

Rachel is 30 1/2" tall (90th%) and weighs 18lbs 2oz. (10th%). She did really well letting the doctor check her out. She had 4 shots in her arms and did cry for a while. Poor little baby!

All in all they are healthy girls. And cute to boot! :)

More San Francisco posts coming soon.

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!

San Francisco: Part 1

For the girl's birthday's we got to spend a week in San Francisco visiting Dan's family. On Friday we did some touristy things. We went to the Golden Gate Bridge. Even though I lived there for two summers, I had never been!

Rachel is 1! When you ask her how old she is she hold up her little finger. So cute.

Lombard Street (another first for me!)

We got to get some yummy ice cream from Ghirardelli for Rachel's birthday.

It looks like I'm feeding Hannah this chocolate, but actually she stole it from my ice-cream and I'm taking it back before she can have a bite! Instinct reaction! Sorry, Hannah!

Part 2 coming soon

Hannah is 3!

Hannah had her 3rd birthday yesterday! I can't believe that she is so big. We had a great time celebrating her birthday in San Francisco--I have photos to post--they will be up soon! We LOVE this girl! Happy Birthday Hannah!

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Today is Rachel's 1st birthday! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. Our little Rachel is growing so quickly.

We are in San Francisco to celebrate her birthday. I will post more pictures after we get back to Washington but until then...Happy Birthday baby Rachel! We love you!

Hooray!

Hooray!!! Rachel has been walking for a few weeks now and I was finally able to get a video to upload (after weeks of trying!). Here is a very short video of little Rachel--but at least it's something. Hopefully a better video coming soon.

Familiar Sites at the Cougar Zoo

This girl makes me laugh. Every time we go to the zoo she plays with the rocks and hugs the kangaroo sculpture. Nevermind the 4 tigers!

At least she has fun.
