Our Birthday Girl

Rachel is 4 years old today! We decorated the house last night and she was so excited to wake up to a decorated house. She loves the streamers and balloons. So easy to please! Here are some facts about Rachel at 4 years old:
  • 27 pounds and 38 1/2 inches tall.
  • Really good about playing and helping out with her little sister.
  • Loves to go to the park.
  • Loves to talk on the phone.
  • One of her favorite things is to help out in the kitchen.
  • Can write her name all by herself.
  • Has become quite independent recently.
  • Is always asking for mom to "leave her" at her friends' houses.
  • Still takes a 2-hour nap most days.
  • Enjoys flipping through books and telling her own version of the story.
  • Currently is obsessed with rice cakes - she has to be limited to 2 per day.
  • One of her favorite activities is to help her daddy shine his shoes.
  • Enjoys playing on pbskids.org.
  • Can be quite the perfectionist at times, but is getting really good about trying again.
  • Loves to sing and dance.
