Busy Busy Busy

The Magician from Frosty the Snowman was "busy, busy busy!" and so were we this week! Dad was out of town from Tuesday afternoon through Friday afternoon for work. He was lucky enough to sneak in a visit with Great Great Aunt Velda in Atlanta before heading home. Mom made sure to have some adult conversations each day while Dad was gone, so we did sneak in a visit to Great Aunt Mary (aka Granny) and Great Uncle Jim on Wednesday. Mom forgot the camera so it was lucky that Uncle Jim remembered to take at least a few pictures. Thursday Mom decided that Rachel was old enough to start eating some rice cereal. We tried out the highchair for a bit and Rachel didn't seem too sure of it all. Then, a different time Rachel ate, we did end up documenting the messy face of the beautiful girl. After Dad got home on Friday afternoon, we packed up and headed to Escanaba to help Grandma Barbara get ready for a houseful of people through Christmas week. Grandma had an exer-saucer toy that Rachel loved to play in. Time to make sure we have one in Milwaukee! Rachel has also learned to completely love bath time. She really enjoys the few minutes after when Mom scoops her up in the towel and they giggle together. Rachel also had her 4th month check-up today and she is 13.4 lbs and 25.5 inches tall. She is right on target as a very happy and healthy baby! Can't wait to see what this next week will bring. Merry Christmas everyone!
