The Sleep File [2]

I cant get enough of her sleeping photos :)

Sweet dreams little lovie!

Always something new

It never ceases to amaze me what a gem the Meijer Gardens are and how amazing it is to have them practically nextdoor.

Here we are at Niagara Falls, dipping her toes in the Great Lakes and playing with the boats! So fun!

DaVinci's Horse and friends

There's always something new and fascinating for all ages.

Civil War baby

Miss M visited her dad and his buddies on the front lines of the Civil War! 

A true Florence Nightingale! :)

Wonderful weekend

I think we all came out of this weekend refreshed and recharged.

 One of those moments when you think your heart might explode (huge love eye emoji)

They dug out treasures from the basement - bb gun?!

Make shift table tennis!

Sunday Miss M had a grand ol' time in nursery with her rugrat friends! Came out smelling like the fabulous nursery lady's perfume! :)

Petey Dad treated us to lunch - she was so thrilled she napped right through.

Capped off the weekend with an Olympic themed party with our church friends

Ahhh the good stuff :)

Trip to TC

Kari and Arie invited us to join them in Traverse City for an overnight, it was so fun, Moses and Ginny even came too!

Breakfast time!

Walk in her pack, she loves to eat the pack!

Beach time!

Thanks for having us! A true Pure Michigan treat!

Cousins at the cottage

Time at the lake is always special especially when it's baby's first trip AND your cousins are there!

 A little nap al fresco :)

Such fun! and good memories

Fulton Street Farmer's Market

Miss M made her first trip to the Farmer's Market recently. She's at least a 5th generation shopper there. I always like to say we were shopping there before it was cool :)

Loved it!

Hi! I'm FIVE months!

Went real swimming with a swim suit

Started Vitamin D

Watches us eat and has gotten more and more interested

Notices her toys by herself

Blows bubbles and makes sounds, mimics when we do.

Is learning her name!

Went to Great Grandma's cottage, Traverse City, Glen Arbor and Lake Ann :)

Covers her eyes when she nurses

Loves sounds.

Has chubby roll lines on her legs

Can follow when I point

Loves her kitties - they're hilarious!

Working hard on sitting up and standing (with help :)

One beautiful baby

That's what her dad says about her anyway :)

Lunchtime bath on the porch bc why not?

Smiles. Smiles. Smiles!

With my fraaaaaands!

Summer is for being out and about and seeing friends, as much as nap time will allow :)

Went to Millennium Park with Auntie Kari and baby Arie

Got ice cream with Eliza, Marta and Auntie Jenn - she's getting her licker ready for next summer!

Meijer Gardens are nice with baby Arie and Aunt Kari too! Love at first notice?!

Good to see you! Thanks for giving us a buzz!

Like a Baby

Miss M. is no longer a tiny baby (tear emoji). Now she's a baby and doing all sorts of fun baby things! I just try to enjoy each stage for what it offers (Big smile emoji)

Trying out her Bumbo!

Sleeping in her bedroom and big girl cribby. On her tummy because she can roll how she pleases!

Going to the pool with her daddy

Taking a bath in her big girl tubby

Annnnd so much more! Everyday is new and exciting!

Sooooo tired

Sometimes Miss M doesnt always make the wisest choices about when and how long to sleep.

But then I do get to take funny sleep videos of her :)

A sweet series

Happy Girl!
