Rachel's ONE!!

Hard to believe that our little Rachel turned ONE already on Saturday!  I've always been amazed at how much babies change in their first year of life.  They go from being totally innocent and helpless to crawling (and sometimes even walking!) and feeding themselves all in only 12 months!  Rachel IS crawling and scooting around on her bottom a lot these days -- trying hard to keep up with her 3 big sisters!  She also likes to "talk" and smile with her cheesy 6-tooth grin  :)  We all absolutely LOVE Rachel to pieces (and sometimes I think she's going to fall to pieces after her sister are done lovin' on her!)!!



 
I kept with tradition and made a "bear" cake for her 1st birthday.  Rachel got a ballerina bear!









I think Rachel liked her bear!




She was being so silly...



What a goof!



The big birthday girl



She wasn't quite sure what to do with her cake!



Happy FIRST Birthday Rachel!!
We love you!!
