I thought some of you might like to know Rachael's current stats. We went to the doctor last wednesday for her immunizations (poor baby...) but also my favorite part of knowing her height and weight. I'll compare them to her stats from exactly a year earlier
August 5, 2008
Age: 5 Days
Weight: 6.4 lbs 11th percentile
Height: 20 inches 62nd percentile
Head Circ.: 13 inches 17th percentile
August 5, 2009
Age: 1 year
Weight: 22 lbs 68th percentile
Height: 31 inches 95th percentile
Head Circ.: 19 inches 99th percentile
As you can see, she is nice and healthy, and has the big Russell head (I'm not the one who said that, everyone in the family did, they were even competing to see which one of the kids has the BIGGEST head, haha!) She is tall and skinny, who woulda thunk.
As of right now, she is refusing to walk, but will stand up in the middle of the room. She just lacks the confidence to acutally move her feet. I've decided to stop fighting it, she'll do it when she wants. She currently knows "puppy" and "kitty" in sign language, holds up one finger when asked how old she is, and gives kisses. We're working on "drink" and "food" in sign language. She knows what she wants and gets into EVERYTHING. She loves and always has loved reading books. She likes her dad more than her mom, even though he'll dispute that. She eats tons of yogurt as well as the occasional helping of whole grain pasta or zuccini. Her sippy cup is her favorite thing to throw on the floor. She falls asleep by herself and will stay asleep all night. All in all, she is adorable in every way. Always has been, always will be.

Rachel is 6 months older and 4 inches longer than Jake and only 2 pounds ahead of him. Heck, it's been a few weeks since he was weighed I bet he weighs more than her now.
