Weekends with dad

Miss M is learning early on that any time Dad gets involved, the fun goes through the roof. 

He'll get you a Pronto Pup 

AND 

ice cream when you visit Grand Haven.

He'll even spring for Sandy :)

Share his Frosty Boy

AND
not make you sit in your high chair for dinner

He's much less of a cheapo than mom :)

Ya, he is my Dad.

Daaaaaaaaads. What can you say? Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!

Peter loves being Miss M's dad, I think it mostly has to do with another day of gifting for him ;)

Miss M loves her Grandpy, this is mostly because of the iPhone that is usually in his front pocket ;)

I think we'll live with 'em, we've got some good ones.

Being a Baby (part 3)

Who needs a high chair when you've got your dad?!

Exploring my old plushies that got banished from my mom's house. #refugees

This is how you shop

This is how you be a Detroit Tigers fan....

Tubbie time with friends and Grammie!

 Speaking of friends, they stayed over and they play, play, played!!!

She's a walker and a climber now. All over. All the time.

 Arie stopped by my mom's to see the driveway progress and the trucks!

Drinking from the spigot

Reading is a new favorite hobby

She loves to 'drive' with her dad. Always trying to honk!

Just another day in the good life.

'They'll be worth something someday'

I suppose that's true; they're worth the joy on the face of my child. 

But that is all, not mega bucks!

I knew that someday my mom would find my old Beanie Babies in her house and send them to mine.

The day has arrived.

At least she loves them!

The spirit is willing

But the baby is uncoordinated and illogical and therefore not helpful. 

Cute though! Real cute!

She got the lid and dragged it over so she had a seat to sit on while going through the box. 

Too cute.

Helping my mom

Orrrrrrrr just mooching all the chocolate chips.

Girl after my own heart.

How does she know the best part comes before they're baked?!

Runway Queen

Miss M had her big modeling debut the other weekend...at a local nursing home :) 

Perhaps they'll rename it the 'laydown-way' ????

Shwimming!

Miss M took swim lessons with her friend Arie this spring. 

Aka: Kari and I got in the pool every Thursday morning with crying/freezing babies hugging our necks.

She did learn how to kick, go under, and have a general familiarity with the water so all was not lost :)
