Whitney & Rachel

One of the hardest things about our move out to Holland was saying good-bye to all of our friends. Back in Texas, Rachel had a ton of little friends her age. So, we were sad to have to leave them. However, we are so lucky to have Whitney right around the corner. Whitney and Rachel have so much fun together! They get so excited whenever they see each other. It's so cute to watch! Last week we had the opportunity to watch Whitney for three days. The girls had so much fun! Saturday morning and this morning Rachel has asked me if "Whitney's coming?". Rachel certainly loved having a playmate all day long. The weather was beautiful so we walked down to the neighborhood park every morning. The girls had a blast. I was even able to teach them how to kick a ball back and forth to each other. They are definitely reaching an age where friends are lots of fun! :)
The girls also had a lot of fun indoors. They loved being silly and laughing at each other. Whitney's favorite thing to do was run into the kitchen, hop in Rachel's stroller in the corner, and call out for "Raa-chel". Rachel loved going and finding her, even though it was always the same spot! :) Here are a few videos of the girls having fun:

Don't you love the crazy hair?

I love how Whitney was so concerned about Rachel's barrette that was about to fall out.

This time they were able to fall down!

The girls love to give hugs! Rachel was so excited when Whitney was over here that she was quite accident prone. I think she hurt herself a couple of times each day. On Friday morning, after Rachel had experienced two "ouchies", she asked me through her tears "Whitney ouchie?". She figured it was Whitney's turn to get hurt! Luckily Whitney never took Rachel up on that offer! We had a lot of fun with Whitney. We'll take her anytime - Rachel is so much happier when she has a playmate around! :)
