HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAYCHEL JOY!!

WE cannot believe its been ONE YEAR!!! WOW, it went by SOOOO fast!!!!! It was SOOOO hard and it was SOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOO FUN!!! =) Everything has changed, nothing will ever be the same again, and we wouldn't trade it for the world!!!

She has gone from this little, itty bitty helpless beauty to this walking, talking, laughing, and loving beauty!!! The BIG party is SATURDAY!

Today was her first day to try out the pool! We have a little plastic pool in the backyard. She has never been to "hip" to the water...but she tried it! She was done in about 10 minutes, she wanted to run around the yard instead! Maybe we will take her to Manhattan where you can walk in the splash park!!

Testing out the water...hmm, this seems okay!

SPLASH!! She usually doesn't do this because it gets on her face and she HATES that! So, one splash was all we got!
Okay MOM, I'm DONE! I'm getting out now! =)
