Rachel is becoming quite the character. She wants to be in charge of everybody and everything (a nice way of saying she is constantly trying to boss us all around) and wants to know everything that is going on. I feel a little worried for any future younger siblings because she will make sure that they do it her way (now I know how Brianne and Tyler felt with me as an older sister). She may grow out of this, but it is only getting worse each day, so we will see. I think she is actually starting to hit the terrible two's (at 2 1/2). She is throwing temper tantrums when we don't give her what she wants: the kind where she yells and stomps her foot and eventually screams and cries. She has had more time-outs these past few weeks than the past 2 years. As much as some of this stuff is no fun, we are having more fun with her than ever before because she is still very sweet most of the time and is developing a very fun personality.
So a few things that Rachel has said recently:
1) "I'll get it!" This happened when we got home the other day and I went to the bathroom. As soon as I got in there, my phone started ringing. Rachel yelled, "I'll get it!" and ran and got and answered my phone and talked into the phone as she brought it to me in the bathroom. Good thing it was only Daddy!
2) "Bless You!" She told me this after I sneezed. So sweet!
3) "Mama, what you doing?" This is the start of back and forth "real" conversation. Up until now, most of our conversations are pretty one-sided and don't really go back and forth. She is finally stringing together real sentences and it is so nice to be able to talk to her.
Update: She got a Care Bear costume (Bedtime Bear) for Halloween! Tim's mom helped me and we got it off e-bay. The costume itself was less expensive than the shipping. Anybody who asks her what she is going to be for Halloween, she tells them Bedtime. I just washed it last night and can't wait to try it on her. We didn't have time tonight, but as soon as I get a chance, I will put it on her and post a picture. I am so excited because she is so excited about it.

Heather another one is "your turn (Nana, in my case), you do it this way". I was supposed to say one two three and run across the room and fling myself into the bean bag chair!!!!!! It's nice she gets the concept of taking turns though. She also wanted to "do it backwards now". Who taught her about reverse gear? xxH
