At just a week over 9 months old, Felicity’s first tooth has finally broken through, with a second one very close behind. Her first tooth is her front bottom tooth on the right hand side. It is really a cute little tooth. It is not all the way through yet, but you can certainly see the little part that is through. We bought a toothbrush for it and she really likes it! After the brushing session she gets to play with it for a while and it has already become one of those toys that if you take away from her, she starts to cry.

My brother Kenny had his DPS Academy graduation this past Friday, so we were up in Phoenix for that and we stayed with my sister and her family. They have a 2 story house and over the weekend Felicity taught herself how to climb the stairs. She is very good at it! Uncle Louie told us to show her how to get down the stairs on her butt, so she learns that that is the way to go down the stairs instead of trying to walk down them. Which I am sure you can imagine would be quite dangerous.

While we were up there we also went to visit Felicity’s new cousin, Shannon Joy. Her mom, Sharon, is Randy’s sister. Shannon is Sharon and Mike’s 5th child and 1st girl. She was born on June 8 and came in at 8 pounds, 10 ounces and 22 inches long. She is really cute and has a full head of dark hair that you could just tell that Felicity was jealous of! :)

We came back home on Saturday and on Sunday our friends Jennifer and Justin came over (on their way home to Phoenix) so that we could meet their 10 month old girl Brenna and so they can meet Felicity, both for the first time. She is really cute and the two of them seemed to have a good time together. Interaction at this age is still very limited and more about stealing toys from each other. But it was very nice to get them together to play.

Felicity just had her 9 month checkup and she is weighing 18 pounds 1 ounce and is 29 inches tall! She is getting very tall and for sure has her mom’s long legs. Her 9 month sized clothes fit, but her 9 month sized pj’s do not! Her legs are just too long.
