She always has a skip in her step...









Rachel loves being a big sister. I honestly think she adores Kate and wants to help in any way she can. We had Rachel sitting in the back row of the explorer recently with Kate in the middle row, middle seat, and Noah has to sit middle row behind the passenger seat due to drop off and pick up at school. Yesterday I moved Rachel up to the middle seat on the other side of Kate and she was so, so happy to be sitting by 'her' baby. After the soccer game today on our way home Kate started to fuss and Rachel immediately started singing to her. She was so cute the way she would sing this little song:
"Calm down, Katherine Rebecca -- Katherine Rebecca, Calm down. Calm down Kate, calm down Kate -- Kate, calm down." She would sing this over and over in her cute little voice (okay, so she really can't sing on key as most of you who have heard her knows... but, it was so cute!). I have got to try to catch that on video. It's the kind of thing that will be priceless in years to come.
My mom got Rachel this little dress and gave it to her the day before Kate was born. Rachel loves dresses and a couple of days ago it was actually warm enough to wear it. I took her outside to let her 'dance' for me and took some pictures of her while I was watching. She always manages to ham it up when she's dancing and skipping around. She's such a sweet girl. =)
