Spring has Sprung

Greetings everyone –

I will try to be short and sweet in my blog this month because I have LOTS of amazing pictures to post. Mommy’s finger has been shutter crazy lately and I feel like every time I turn around she is sticking that camera in my face.

I am very busy lately and talking up a storm. I have hundreds of words and now I can even speak in sentences. I can also count to five in English and Spanish (gracias Dora) I like to tell everyone that my name is Rachel Glazer and I live in Orange (sometimes I say orange juice) I love to read, sing, dance, play with all my toys and watch Dora. I love to do the Hokey Pokey, Row Row Row your Boat, Ring around the Rosie and the Itsy Bitsy Spider. I love to blow kisses, give hugs and get lots of tickles on my tummy and feet. I also like to wear cropped jackets and sweaters even though daddy thinks they look like they don't fit me.

The weather has been great and I have been spending lots of time outside (see for yourself in the pictures) I love the swings, the slide and getting ice cream from the cool truck that drives through the neighborhood!

Here are a few highlights for the month….

1. Mommy and daddy went to a Shabbaton for a weekend and I got to have a fun time with Nana, Papa and Nana Bee.
2. We went to Chautauqua with the Weiss family and had a great time
3. Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma Faye came back to Cleveland for Passover and it was great to hang out with them
4. Aunt Jenny and Uncle Alex came in from Boston and I got to see them also
5. I had lots of fun meeting Uncle Steve, Aunt Jan, and cousins Kim and Dee who visited from Maryland; I also got to see Uncle Allan, Aunt Mali and cousins Sarah and Aaron – I think it was my biggest family outing in the nearly 20 months I have been around. I missed having Uncle Josh and Aunt Yassana there with us.
6. Other out of town visitors were the Scheffler family, the Diamant Family and Sandy and Amy – it is so fun to see our long distance friends.
7. I went to Eggshelland with mommy – it was so cool to see Dora and Boots made out of eggshells

Other than that – I have been busy playing with friends, going to classes with mommy and going on fun outings with daddy like the Zoo and the Rainforest. I am going to be 20 months old next week and I am really excited for the summer.

Lastly – I want to blow kisses and say I love you to my daddy – who is whooping it up in Mexico this week with Uncle Ethan. Mommy and I are having lots of fun but we miss him and can’t wait for him to come home!

Enjoy the pics – sorry there are no captions but the computer is being temperamental and with daddy gone my choice was to post without captions or wait until he gets home.

Love, Rachel
