In advance of her upcoming 1st birthday, we had some new pictures of Rachel taken last week. Here are a few of them:

Rachel was actually really sick most of the weekend, but we already had an appointment and she managed gave us a few good minutes of smiles for the camera.

The last one of her playing peek-a-boo is even cuter if you've ever seen her try to play peek-a-boo. She usually cheats and only covers one of her eyes. The other hand usually ends up on her forehead or ear.

She is feeling better now and we have all had a good but busy week. Daddy had a lot of tests and homework to do for school, Mommy has been busy getting ready to translate for General Conference and the RS Broadcast. Rachel is busy as always exploring around the house. This week she was able to find an uncapped pen, which she used to draw all over herself and the chair in the office.

Rachel's Growing Up!

Rachel's is getting so BIG! She is learning to use a fork and plate. The plate is sometimes uses as a cup which means everything ends up on the floor, but she is learning. She likes to use a fork, but she gets the ends confused sometimes!

Rachel and Daddy played at temple square while Mommy interpreted a CES Fireside for Sister Lant. She looks so cute at just the perfect place.

Season 4 of the Office starts Sept. 27.
