Mary Goings On April/May

So I have realized that though I have blogged the bigger events in the last few months, I haven't really posted any pictures of just the day to day Mary happenings from April/June.  So I thought I'd go back and record some of that now.

One nice distraction from my pregnancy that we participated in was another library class that started in April and just finished up a couple of weeks ago.  We would attend class on Monday mornings and then enjoy playing at the park afterward.  Our library connects to a really nice park with fountains and a stream and other traditional playground equipment.  So Mary always looked forward to it (and still does when we go for weekly storytime).

Here is Mary with her teacher and class and playing at the park afterward.  Btw, sorry for the cell phone photos.  That is all I had.  I'm sure glad to have a camera on my cell phone even though they aren't the greatest.  I'd miss a lot of pics otherwise.

 And speaking of giraffes outfits (for those of you who don't know, I've sort of had Mary wear giraffes a lot since she was born.  It kind of became a thing for me), here are a couple other giraffe outfits - one is pjs - she has worn recently...

 
 
And here is a pic of Mary and me from Mother's Day. I like to coordinate with her sometimes. : )

In May, my Mom's program, The Book of Mormon Has Come Forth was performed in her stake (Aurora).  My Mom's collaborator and good friend, Janice Kapp Perry and her husband Doug came out for the event.  I took the opportunity to photograph Mary with them.  I got to stay with them when I was pregnant with Mary for a few days and Janice has sent me some nice emails and things regarding motherhood.  I've enjoyed getting to know them both. 

 I love how Mary is looking up at Janice here.
