5 months and a lot of firsts!

(Once again, pictures will come later!)

There were lots of first this month so I am just going to make a list!(Once again from the calendar!)

~Her first fourth of July was pretty uneventful! Daddy had to work and she slept right through the fireworks we did get to see!
~Jaycee went on her first camping trip! It was at Timid Springs up Beaver Mountain for the Ipson family reunion.
~Jaycee got to go to her first funeral! Her Grandpa Great Henrie passed away after having a stroke 4 days earlier while we were at the Ipson reunion.
~While we were in Las Vegas, she sat alone and grabbed Mama's face and gave her a kiss, without me asking for one! SOOOOOO CUTE! And at this emotional time it was so healing!
~First time being away from Daddy for more than just a day while he was at work! After my grandpa had his stroke, Tom had to go back to work, but I really felt like I wanted to be with my family when he passed away! I am so glad I was! What a spiritual experience! Jaycee had to stay with Mama and Daddy was not happy about this! Mama and Daddy both cried as Daddy pulled away and for a lot of the rest of the week! Mama missed Daddy terribly and wanted the comfort that only he could give at this very emotional time! Also she felt so bad that Daddy wasn't there to see his "Boo" everyday! Daddy cried cause he missed us and didn't want us to have to go through this alone! The reunion at Buckhorn was very sweet!
~She had eaten her first food last month, but this month she was learning all about more vegetables, and then started learning about fruit! She is very good at eating her veggies still even though she has tried the sweet!
~She went to the ER for the first time! She had a cough for about a week but one night when she was eating her food, she was gasping for air. It scared Tom and I really bad! We got to the ER and she didn't cough once, which frustrated me at first, but then I remembered Tom had given her a Priesthood blessing before we left the house and it made her all better! Boy are we grateful for the Priesthood and a Daddy who is worthy to give us blessings!!
~We went to the Henrie reunion for the first time at the Johnson Oak Ranch! It was a blast! We were so grateful to be together as a family, but we were sure missing our Grandpa!! Jaycee got to go on her first 4 wheeler ride!
~The day before she turned 6 months old she started crawling in the mother's room at church!
~She is still exploring her voice!
~She is scooting everywhere!
