Traverse City

Mommy and Daddy took me camping again! They took me to Traverse City this time! I had lots of fun flirting with Aunt Katie and Uncle Shawn and all of their camping friends! The conscious...I'm just too cute! I spent a lot of time playing with my toys and sleeping on the beach. I even got my first shower, and loved it. After two nights of screaming in the tub Mommy and Daddy brought along, they finally figured out I did NOT like it!

I told you.

I'm too cute!

I loved sleeping on Aunt Katie in the mornings! Mommy got me this chair for when I am bigger.

Its too big for me right now.

I thought I was pretty cool when I got to sit in though!

Look at my new trick!

I can sort of sit up on my own.

With a couch and a few towels holding me up. Mommy insisted I wear this hat when she took me down to the water.

The water was too cold on my little toes!I didn't like it one bit!

When I am bigger I will learn to love Lake Michigan!Right now my kiddie pool is more my size!

Plus, my Mommy and Daddy let it sit in the sun so the water would be warm!Chillin' with my Daddy after playing in the pool. Mommy and Aunt Kaite just said "Boys will be boys."

Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Kaite, Uncle Shawn and I before we went to Moomers... Aren't I too cute!

I was a little excited about my Sweet Potatoes...

If you notice, there are no pictures of Moomers. Every one was a little frazzled. I may or may not have SCREAMED the whole way there...and the WHOLE way back. I may be responsible for Aunt Katie and Uncle Shawn never having kids. :-) I did get a little bite of Mommy's Moomers Ice Cream though!

Mommy and Daddy love taking me camping!!

Wisconsin

My mom and I took Karson to Wisconsin a few weeks ago. We were especially excited for this trip because my cousins from Wyoming were visiting. Although I didn't take any pictures, my mom, Aunt Pat, cousin Rebecka, and I (and Karson) enjoyed a "Girl's Day" at the mall on Saturday. The rest of the weekend we spent time relaxing with my Grandma. I love our Wisconsin weekends!!

If you know me, you know how exciting these pictures are to me...

I LOVE children's books!Every time we go out of town, I LOVE buying books about where we are visiting.
DJ has limited me to the amount of book stores I'm allowed in.

I was thrilled to see that my little man is enjoying his Mommy's obsession!Karson go to try a melon at dinner one night. He LOVED it!!

4th of July

I loved the 4th of July Weekend. DJ had Friday and Monday off. I loved having all that family time! We spent time at the beach, went to Timmer's for the parade. and enjoyed some time together at home.

Blue Eyes and Tongues

Whenever I am out and about, the first thing people tell me is how beautiful my big blue eyes are.

Mommy agrees.

She loves my big blue eyes. Then they comment about my tongue...

Mommy and Daddy tell them my tongue is always out...

...and has been since I was first born.

What people do not always realize...Mommy and Daddy are not kidding...My tongue is always out!Mommy says it makes feeding me very difficult!But really, my Mommy and Daddy just laugh......because by the time they explain my tongue to one person.......I am already sticking it out at some one alse.Aren't I cute with my big blue eyes...and my tongue sticking out?

Pool Fun

We picked Karson up a little pool this weekend.

He loves bath time and has been swimming a few times.

We figured he would really like it.

We were right.

He loved it!

Mommy and Daddy had fun too.

Sunday we even got Grandpa and Grandma Nana to join in the fun!

4 Months Old

Today you are 4 months old! I can not believe you have been with us for 4 months already.

At four months you...

Know who your Mommy and Daddy are.

We get the best smiles!

Love bath time!

Especially when Daddy gives you a bath.

Love to reach for and grasp your toys.

They immediatly go straight to your mouth.

Have given up your paci on your own.
Instead you try to suck on your whole fist.

Still love to be rocked to sleep.

I love our snuggle time!

Have tried cereal and a few fruits and veggies.

You made it very clear at first you did NOT like them.

You are starting to come around though. Went on your first airplane, traveled to Colorado and whent camping, saw the Mackinac Bridge, and put your feet in Lake Micigan.

You are a very busy 4 month old!
