We have a crawler!

Last Tuesday Felicity would get in to a crawling position and moving her hands forward. I figured she was getting close, but that she was still a few days away from figuring out how to move both her hands and her legs to get anyway. Boy was I wrong! The very next day she was crawling all over the room. Now a days she crawls all over the front room and the office, but limits herself to just that . . . for now. Hoover and Kona are not sure what to do anymore and have quickly learned that they just need to get up and move away when she comes closer.

On Monday night Felicity also pulled herself up using the couch without any help from dad and then later pulled herself up trying to climb on mom. She is getting so big. It is really hard to believe that she is already 7 1/2 months old!

This past weekend we went up to Phoenix and stayed with my sister Margaret, her husband Louie and their new baby Elisia. My younger brother graduated from the police academy and went up there for the ceremonies. Friday morning there was a flag raising ceremony and final inspection of their uniforms and Friday night he was sworn in as a DPS officer and received his badge. We had a great time. My grandma and grandpa (my dad's parents) came out from Indiana and my sister Ann, her husband Erik and their two boys, Tristan and Hayden came down from Vegas. Of course my mom and dad also came down from Sedona. It was really nice to have the whole family there and really special to have 4 generations of the Ellis family all in one place. We are so proud of my brother. He looked so great standing there in his new uniform! Keep up the good work Kenny!!!!
