Keeping Up With The De Oliveiras: Slipping into Summer (temporarily!)

Still very behind in blog entries. This one takes us to May 18th.

The weather was very nice at the beginning of the month of May - it even hit 26 degrees on my birthday! It didn't last, though, because right after we had almost 2 weeks of unseasonably cold and wet weather. Still, we've been outside fairly often enjoying the deck when we can, and the girls are growing and exploring all the time. After much frustration at not being able to follow us around the house, Alixe figured out how to crawl on the 18th, though she isn't completely down on her hands and knees - she puts one foot out to the side to help her push, so it looks a little awkward, but she got pretty fast very quickly. So funny to think that at this age, Aimy was zooming around the house on her bum. Both Aimy and Alixe love the neighbour's cat, and Alixe even tries to imitate its meow, though it usually comes out "Meh!" It's not always easy to get good photos of them right now, since they are always on the move, but when I do get a good one, it is definitely worth sharing.
