May has been a very busy month. As I said in the last post, she started pulling herself up into a standing position and now she does it on everything that she thinks is standing still! She has now added some steps to her standing. She can walk around her table activity center and the coffee table. If you hold her hands she will walk with you. A while ago we bought her a push toy that she can either ride on or walk behind and yesterday she started to walk behind it. The only problem is that it gets away from her sometimes, so we have to hold it and walk with her. I can't believe how quickly she learns how to do things.She has also learned to clap her hands, feed herself her little finger foods and wave bye-bye. She is also starting to figure out that she can wave hi too. It is really cute when we leave or walk into a room, if the dogs or daddy are in that room then she will wave bye or hi to them.
The day before Mother's Day we went up to Flagstaff for my best friend's (Beth) baby's first birthday. It is strange that Kendall is already one! Kendall and Felicity had a great time together. They even took a bath together. What great blackmail picutes!We also had some firsts this month. Felicity's cousin Lauren graduated from 8th grade and that night Lauren's sister Becca spent the night. The next morning we all went to our community pool for Felicity's first time swimming. She had a great time, but I think the water was still just a little too cold. We will have to try it again soon.
This past weekend we went on Felicity's first camping trip. We went up to the rim
north of Payson. We think she had a good time. We went up with my sister Margaret, her husband Louie, Louie's son David, their new baby Elisia and some of their friends. She enjoyed crawling on the blanket to the edges and playing with the dirt, pinecones, pine needles and tree bark. She probably ate about a pound of dirt. But as Uncle Louie says, a little dirt never hurt!Don't forget to check the website for more pictures.
