Look Who's Crawlin'

First thing is first...BROOKLYN IS OFFICIALLY CRAWLING!!! Last night, we had her on the floor and she just gave us her famous army crawl. Well, this morning I put her down the hallway and enticed her with a toy and lalalalallala she crawled! Now, that is all she does. She isn't quite used to her knees on the carpet so every now and then she will stick her bum in the air and do the bear crawl...or at least try to. We were so worried she was going to skip this stage because she gets up on furniture on her own and goes around it then reaches for the table in the middle and moves around it. We've even caught her standing on her own. The longest we have counted is 20 seconds. We don't think it will be long before she can walk. We are going to try and hold her off so that she can crawl a little longer. Mackenzie is a dream child. She is officially sleeping through the night. She has done it for about a week now. She rarely fusses, gives us huge smiles and giggles. I caught her turned around in her crib the other night so she is moving. She loves to kick off her blankets. She just moves her legs all the time. She's such a sweetie. This past weekend we went to St. George, Utah for Tom's cousins wedding. It was a lot of fun. We drove on Friday and stopped to visit the Cornelius's, did the wedding thing on Saturday, hung out with family, and went to Pine Valley on Sunday. We just love the mountains and this place is ideal. It had a stream, mountains, campgrounds, and minimal mosquitos. It was great hanging out with everyone. The natives (Brooklyn and Mackenzie) were good little troopers. On Monday, we drove to Idaho Falls for Tom to have an interview with INL. We just got back yesterday. We'll keep you posted if he got the job or not and if we accept it. It was a lot of fun hanging out with Brookey, Jeff, Hailee, Phil Mickelson Anderson, Mary and Jo. We're a traveling family! In 2 weeks we are going to Boise/the cabin for the 4th. Summertime is the best!
Brooklyn crawling

We brought the portacrib to Pine Valley with us. Brooklyn kept smashing her face and making noises. So cute!

She got herself up and wanted OUT!

Catching minnows in the stream

Brooklyn LOVES watermelon. She growled when we tried to take the rhine away...so...like always...she got her way and kept the entire time we were there.

This is funny...Brooklyn wanted a toy out of her toy box and she got stuck, or rather, high centered trying to get it. I thought it was so funny that I had to get a pic. Meanwhile, Brooklyn was screaming and growling because she was so frustrated and wanted to get out. You can't tell, but both feet are off the ground.
