Rachel is 4 months!

Here are the stats. She is 12lbs 13.5 oz. (35th%) and is 25 inches long (67th%). As you can tell, she's a talker. We sure do love her and we're so glad she's ours!

PS Sorry about shirtless Dan, we had just gone swimming :)

Smiley Rachel

Oh I love that beautiful smile!

Tug Boat Races

Last weekend we went to Seattle to see the worlds largest tug boat race. The weather was great and they had a lot of fun things to see.


They had a kids boat building station. It was super crowded, so we got the supplies and let Hannah make her boat while she sat in her stroller.

The finished boat.

They had a few "jump-o-lines" and Hannah loved them. Thanks Dan for finding out about this!

Boeing Museum of Flight

Every first Thursday of the month the Boeing Muesum of Flight is free in the evenings. We finally made it down there and I'm looking forward to going again next time. We had a ton of fun.

Hannah is picking flowers instead of seeing the giant plane behing her.

This is Hannah trying the virtual hang-gliding experience. She thought it was a swing.

Pilot Hannah

This is hard to tell, but Hannah is in front of the cock-pit. She liked seeing all the controls.

Pilot Rachel.

They had so many planes that you could sit in. Hannah loved being a pilot.

One of Hannah's favorite parts was this hall. Yup, the hall. She ran up and down it for about half an hour before we made her move on. I think she just needed to stretch her legs-we've been rained in a lot lately.

Mother's Day

We took some pictures after church on Mother's day. Hannah had pulled out her pig-tails and Rachel couldn't stop looking at the flower that they gave me (and Hannah commandeered). Oh well. It was a good day.

Building a Tower

Hannah and I like to build towers together. This one was pretty tall so we took some pictures.

Then it fell.
Timber!

Rachel's Ball

I know I just posted about this, but Rachel is getting so good at using her arms! I had to do another post (for the Grandma's). And what can I say about Hannah? She is her daddy's girl.

Hannah's Words

Hannah has always been very verbal and she is really exceptional when it comes to vocabulary. She is always amazing me with what she says. So I think it's so cute when she doesn't say a word exactly right. Lately there have been some pretty cute words. Here's the list.

hostible = hospital

messimo = Eskimo

rickolish = licorice

jumpoline = trampoline

ride-a-cycle = motorcycle

habah = strawberry

donk = donkey

bink = binkie

piggy bank = guinea pig

She can actually say them all correctly, but every once in a while they come out a little jumbled. And I think it's cute.

Rachel's Elephant

Rachel is getting pretty good with her arms. Here she is reaching for a little toy elephant.

Sheep Shearing Festival

Last weekend we went to a Sheep Shearing Festival in Bellevue. It was a lot of fun. Hannah had a great time.

Dandelions

Dandelions grow everywhere here! They are out in full force right now and everyday Hannah picks at least 20 of them. We have a vase in her room that is constantly replenished with fresh flowers thanks to Hannah.
