I'm 18-Months! Can You Tell I've Grown?!


Today is August 25. The first day of school for Noah, Simon, and Elizabeth! And it also marks the day that Rachel turns 18-months. That's a big milestone and an age I have always enjoyed. She is a wonderful and typical 18-month walker, runner, babbler. Rachel is now saying 'bye-bye' in addition to her other words of 'ma ma', 'da da', 'done', 'hug', 'cheese', etc. She can now climb on our furniture and crawl up and down stairs. She loves to go for car rides and go on walks. She is doing great in Sunday school. She squeals with delight all the time. She's also become quite the little sister around the house, too! Just ask her brothers and sister. :o)

Rachel and I then went to local photographer to have her "2-year-old" picture taken; figured it a good day every year to have her picture taken for both milestones. In her red polka dot dress, Rachel warmed up for a few smiles and had fun being the star of her own photo session. She's use to a lot of attention albeit she is not sure how to handle it all yet. After that we drove to downtown Dallas to check out The Crow Collection of Asian Art. It was a murky day with lots of low rain clouds and drizzle; exactly like it was this very day in Guanghzhou last year! Exactly. We parked and walked the streets of downtown, which really could have been any major city in the world at that point. The skyscrapers were masked with th...

"Cupcake" For DS

So today as I'm spending a few hours writing up our report for our 1-year post adoption appointment with our case worker, Rachel is off to the side "using her imagination". Such a proud Mommy I am. My little darling using that noggin to discover the next cure for the common cold, of course. So did I laugh out loud or what when Rachel started singing "Happy Birthday Mommy" and presented me with a special "cupcake". Yes, that is a half-eaten apple with a Nintendo DS stylus tucked in the top just like a candle. I've told my boys to keep their games out of reach...oops!
