The Roller

Hey Everybody!

Today Renae progressed one more step forward toward becoming a toddler! Today she rolled from her back to her tummy. It was most incredible.
I fed her at about 9 am or so. After she finished I held onto her for about one and a half episodes of Avatar: the last air bender. Thinking that she would be just as happy on the ground I set her down.
I looked over at her occasionally to make sure she was still happy and doing well. She has been rolling side to side for some time now. When I looked at her again, she was all the way over. Only her left arm was still under her.
I helped her remove it from under her. Renae enjoyed some tummy time. When Shonda came home she did not do it for her. Just about 30 minutes ago she did it again. Only this time she got her arm out. She laid on her tummy content as could be.
I am so happy for this day. I will have pictures of her rolling over up soon. I love you all and hope this update reaches you!

Fourth of July

We spent the Fourth of July with Uncle Leonard's family and Amber's family in Idaho Falls. We had a good time and Renae even enjoyed watching the fireworks for the first 10 minutes or so. Here she is in her cute Independence Day outfit including the "firework" flower that Shannon gave to us. Thanks, Shannon. The firework flower spent most of the day in Lydia's hair once we arrived at the park because she loved it.

Renae's blessing day

On June 28, Craig gave Renae a name and a blessing in church. So many of our family were able to join us for the occasion. It was so good to see everyone. And of course Renae was adorable.

Everyone who was there except Steve Thompson who took the pictures. He saved our camera for last so Renae was not happy in our pictures.

Isn't she beautiful? I just love her face in these two pictures.

Our family.
Notice the booties that Nana Hayes made and the dress made by Grandma Petersen.
