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 :)

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!
