We're back up and running!

We're sorry for the hiatus in posting the last couple of weeks. Our laptop died and our old PC would just take too long to upload a video! But we are back up and running now. Rachel has changed so much just in the last few weeks. She is now 6 weeks old and is doing just great! We had her 1 month appt. last week (it was scheduled a little late since our pedi was on vacation), and Rachel is totally thriving in the growth department. Her are her current stats for those of you who are interested:

11.2 lbs - 80th percentile

22 inches - 72nd percentile

The doctor was very happy with her growth and her head control too! In other news, Rachel smiled for the first time on August 24th (when she turned exactly one month old), and the coolest part was, Caleb was leaning over her, (and was giving her some love and kisses as per usual), and she smiled at him! It's so sweet that Caleb received the first social smile. Here's a video we took the other week of her smiling for the camera.

Caleb has been doing great with Rachel too. He has really transitioned well to having her around, and it has been fun to see him show her off to people. He is so proud to be a big brother! Here's a cute video of him giving her a tummy kiss (we call it a "zerbert").

He just loves to hold her.

Check out those adorable shoes from Aunt Sue!

Look at that big smooch!

Caleb loves to lay right next to Rachel any chance he gets.

He even pretends to read to her. It is so adorable!

And possibly our favorite picture of them all...Caleb teaching Rachel the ropes on how to master the two fingers sucking technique. Too funny! :)
