Moments from May 2005

May 2005 was action-packed for Amanda as she worked on getting from her back to her tummy:

Mom had fun dressing Amanda up as she grew into things:

Mom also had fun playing with Amanda:

We took Amanda on a little outing to the botany pond:

Here's Dad giving Amanda a snack on the outing:

And here's Dad reading to Amanda at home:

Amanda's first trip out of state

Mom and Dad were car-less for the first year of Amanda's life, but they got around quite a bit anyway, thanks to the kindness of friends and family. Thanks to friends, Mom and Amanda got a ride for a quick visit Grandmother and Grandfather (out of state!). Grandmother's sister, Aunt Darla, was also visiting then:

During the visit, Grandmother and Grandfather treated Mom to some of her favorite pizza:

And Mom made a strawberry spinach salad to share:

Mom also introduced Amanda to Ernie & Tish, her "borrowed grandparents":

Amanda also met Voris Bennion, another of Mom's borrowed grandmas:

Here's Amanda enjoying a turn in the recliner:

And here's Amanda meeting Inky, the last of the rabbits Mom had while growing up:

And then it was time to go, but not before one last picture with everyone, including the friends who made the trip possible. Thanks, friends!
