Mother's Day/Aqarium

For Mother's Day Paul took me and the kids to the Aquarium in down town Denver. We had a lot of fun. JP really loved seeing all the fish, sharks, stingrays, and turtles. Rachel loved seeing all the different colored fish.

This is supposed to simulate a flood. The water comes over the wall and gets you wet.








Happy girl enjoying seeing the fish with her Daddy!












JP next to a shark!















JP was ready to dive with the sharks!




We were going to eat in the restaurant at the aquarium but it was all booked up. So we went to PF Chang's instead. It was really good food. We have not eaten there in a while because it costs lots of money. We had a great day and JP loved it so much!

Rachel is 8 months old!

Rachel is such a big girl now! She has crawled a little and then falls. She is so close to crawling across the room. She is scooting like crazy to get to the things that she wants. She got into our DVD's, scooted to the cords and started chewing them.













(The blanket that Rachel is on is the one I made for her)




Rachel is doing much better at eating and she really loves her bananas. Rachel is standing now (with some help of course). She is working on pulling herself up by herself. She has not quite got it down yet. She is also working on going from a laying down position to a sitting up position. She is so close. I think this next month she is really going to put all these things together.

She has started really saying "Dada" a lot. Although she said "Mama" first she does not say it as much as "Dada". She also says "baba". She loves to hear herself scream (just like her mommy at that age).

Rachel loves to be outside. She sits in her jumper and watch's JP play. JP gets real deep chuckles out of her all the time. She also wants to a ballerina...




















She is such a joy to have around. We are really trying to enjoy these moments with her. We know that they will not last long.
