These couple of recent pictures capture Rachel's personality so well!! The 'hat' she's wearing in the bathroom picture is actually the top of the popcorn popper...she found it in the cupboard one day a few months ago, and it fits perfectly! She wears it at least for a couple hours every day - what a goof!

She loves to brush her teeth, and since she figured out both regular door handles and child-protected door handles within the span of a couple of days, we often find her digging in the bathroom drawers for her toothbrush.

Rachel is our first 'paci baby' - she LOVES her soother! She's only allowed to have it for naptime and bedtime, but she's become very tricky at trying to get it during the day! Sometimes she asks for 'crib' just so she can sit there and have a bit of a suck on the paci! Today I found her sitting at the end of the hallway with her paci in her mouth - she must have been able to reach it in her crib! I did take it away, but had to take a picture first. She's got her eyes closed - I think she was trying to hide from me - if she can't see me, I must not be able to see her, right??? :)
