Well, our home is chaos right now. Trying to pack for Montana in between nap schedule and a very mobile active baby can be a little difficult, especially when you are also battling morning sickness and extreme fatigue. I started packing our bags this afternoon while Raquelle was napping. Then, Thad called and wanted me to bake cookies. Of course, Raquelle woke up, so I put her on the floor to play. I checked on her, and she was happily chewing on the duffle bag. I went back to the cookies. I peeked out to check on her again, and she had packed herself into the bag! I guess she's ready to go see grandma! "Do we really have to wait til tomorrow to go?" On a side note, I ment to blog earlier this week about all her new tricks. On Saturday, She finally sat up completely on her own, not just long enough for a picture. Sunday, from that sitting position, she pulled herself up to a stand without any help. Monday, she finished mastering the army crawl. She can now m...

My little over achiever is at it again! Is she going to walk before she crawls or sits up for more then 30 seconds? Perhaps it's time to lower the crib mattress! In the words of grandpa, "Wow! She's standing already!??"  

Raquelle's first tooth poked through yesterday! It's one of her bottom front teeth. Thad is convinced that she has a top tooth coming in too. I've been pretty lucky. I've heard tons of teething nightmares, but Raquelle hasn't been too bad. She wants to be held more and fusses a little, but not bad at all. Lets hope all of her teeth come through this easily!

Raquelle would like to show off her new shirt!  

You always know you must be doing something right when the trials start coming! Here is what's been going on with us for the last 3 weeks. A week after we moved, our car window was smashed with a base ball bat. We got it fixed and it was 3 days before we realized that my business bag with my little purse in it was stolen out of the car. By that time, the theif had already maxed out 2 credit cards. They got 2 credit cards, 2 debit cards, 1 check book, keys to our home, mail box and car, drivers liscense, and several other things that are just inconvenient to be without. So, we spent our 2nd week here closing accounts, cancelling cards, talking to police and fraud departments, changing locks, etc. Then, Thad's work sent his pay check to our old address and our old appartment cheated us out of our deposit. They blamed us for a whole in the carpet that was there when we moved in, however we have no way to prove that it was there when we moved in. I think that takes us thro...

So, did you miss me? I sure missed my internet! Believe it or not, I did not put the monkeys on her head, she did that on her own. And here is a nice close up to see how much she has grown in the last month.  

I thought this wasn't suppose to happen til they were a little older! Raquelle woke up and started babbling to herelf at about 6:45. I was tired from a late night so I went back to sleep and figured I'd wait til she was actually crying to go get her (besides, maybe she'll go back to sleep!). At 7:30, she was still happily babbling to herself. I went in to get her up, and she was naked! In the time she was laying there talking to herself, she had somehow unsnapped her jammies and taken them off and she was chewing on them. Luckly, she did still have her diaper on. I still can't figure out how she did it! I should have taken a picture!
