Taddy Bear is 3 Months!

 

Flew to Florida
Saw the ocean
Holds his binkie in
Has developed FOMO
Met lots of old friends
Went for a boat ride
Visited the aquarium
Smiling, cooing, chuckling and talking!
Hiked Blandford Nature Center
Went to Grandma's cottage and saw Lake Michigan

Warmed himself at a backyard bomfire
Celebrated Mother's Day
Started sleeping through the night

Follows with his eyes

Enjoyed the library

Took in Tulip Time (stamp in Dutch passport)

Thinks his siblings are the best

A+ April

It's mid May and boy does April seems like a long time ago in a galaxy far away! 

Which it sorta was since we spent half of it in Florida, Michigan's Lower-er Peninsula currently known as the maskless paradise. 

So! Without further political commentary or ado, here are the photos from our wonderful month!

A special visit from Great Grandma, the first time we've seen her in almost a year. (That's too long.)

Playdate with R3!

Happy Birthday grams! Sometimes it pays to be the only one left in town, more cake for me!

A quick trip to the Gardens for the butterflies!

We're all about life skills around here. Clean your brother!

We get by with a little help from our friends :)

Baby Squish

Happy Easter! He is Risen!!!!

Ahhh it's good to be with family

Possibly the best Spring Break of my life; my kids had to be dragged home from the doting neighbors nearly every night!  Big Gabe helping Little Gabe shoot some hoops 🏀😍

Oh hello there bright eyes! Is is any wonder why we're all so smitten?!

No free lunch, had to move my mom's plants to get this one 😆

Fun with our African American friends! 😊 They came a long way for this playdate!

Tad turned 2 months and momma needs a spell checker ;)

And then it was off to Florida! Hello circus act! 

Exhausting doesnt begin to explain it 😂

Not a bad view for reading or a manicure!

He's not Fred! He's Grandpa! 

Hanging out on the balcony

Man and boy. Doing man things like looking at the fish under the dock.

Two ways to hangout poolside

A picture with Dad but please, how about these nails!?

Happy buddies 

Brothers! Sometimes I can hardly take it!

Are they all mine!?

Lunch on the boat!

Christmas Card preview!

Fish on my babes!

Got one! Tricked it with their bait. Now to see if it's a big enough number to keep.

First convertible rides!

Everyone! Just be cool!

Handler time out! I made a divine key lime pie and Peter caught a shark. 

The line for autographs starts in the back of the room....

Day trip to the aquarium!

We got back in town just in time for prime bomfire weather! (Not a typo if you speak Gabe)

Mother's Day photo shoot!? bc...I mean...really! 💖💙💚

Everybody just doing what they do best: Sleep, cake/smile, baby hold 😃😃😃

(This is Reid, not Tad :)

I feel like I should just go ahead and upload half of May, but I wont! You have to wait! It's worth it! :)
