Not all kids get to know their grandparents when they are young, but Rachel is lucky to have grandparents, great-grandparents, and even one great-great grandparent! Gma Freda is GGpa's mom. Below are pics of the 5 generations!
5 Generations 
5 Generations plus GGma!Santa brought Rachel some toys since she was such a good girl this year! (She didn't really have much time to be naughty! ) :)
Rachel has been having trouble going poo-poo the last few weeks...we have tried several different things...stimulation with a rectal thermometer, suppositories, and finally a light dose of a laxative. The pic below show what happens when you give a 5 week old a laxative! Poop came out the top, back and sides! Gross, yet a first, so it made he blog! :)
A lady at church made this star blanket for Rachel. It is a blanket in the shap of a star that lets her arms and legs easy to put in the carseat while still being covered up. She looks adorable in it!
Since I have been on my maternity leave Rachel and I have spent several days at Aunt Jennifer's. Brennan seems to really enjoy Rachel. For some reason he things she is very interesting. I don't know how sitting around could be interesting, but he sure thinks so! :)
A couple weekends ago Rachel got to meet Momma's good friend Shanna for the first time. (She also got to meet her boyfriend Casey too.) :) We ate at Old Chicago and took a couple pics!
I wanted to post a few more pics that were taken at the hospital, but just hadn'tdone yet.
Dr. Cox and Rachel
The nurses that were thre during the delivery
Our chunky monkey weighed 8lbs 14 oz exactly.
Her huge feet. Cousin Kate's feet were about the same size (an she was 10 weeks old!)
We can't believe Miss Rachel is already a month old! We didn't have a 1 month appointment, but at 3 weeks she weigh exactly 9 pounds. She keeps growing but her next Dr. appt we will know more! She has an appt at 2 months. Time flies!
Rachel doesn't do this all the time. She has only done it twice since she has been born, but I took a picture anyway! :)
I was giving Rachel a bath yesterday and asked Daddy to bring me her towel. When he returned, he not only had her towel, but her Tigger robe too! It's a little big but it seemed to work fine. And she looked pretty cute too! :)
Momma's cousins, Richard and Dacia were in town for the Thanksgiving holiday! They got to meet Rachel for the first time! :)
