Lot's of Willa Pictures!

Last week we went on a lovely hike (the same place we went with the cousins) - It was really beautiful out and the view was amazing. Violet didn't want to walk QUITE as much this time so she spent some time on Daddy's shoulders. I had Willa in her Moby Wrap - she loved it but fell asleep pretty quickly - I had to hold her head up for most of the hike!
And now for a TON of Willa pictures!! I can't believe that she is already three months old! She is so funny and happy and it's so much fun to have her around.

Looking a LOT like her Daddy!



She fell asleep on my arm outside. To answer your question, YES I do spend most of her waking hours giving her smooches. She is the most kissable kid! Violet is helping me post this and she saw this picture she just say "Aww! Cuuute!" :)I love this! The blanket she was laying on was fuzzy and she face-planted in it and did NOT like how it tasted!
She is also starting to like her Bumbo seat a little more (we finally found ours in the basement!)
Violet really wanted to be in the pictures too - complete with her cheesy smile!
Jon does stretches every morning, and on the weekends Violet likes to join him. It's so cute!

Michigan Adventures Part II

Geesh! Sorry it has taken me forever to post... I have been sewing madly getting ready for my first craft show of the season. Check out the info here!

We had a fabulous rest of our trip back to Michigan. Violet had SO much fun with her cousins (she talks about "mine cousins" every day!) and Willa got to hang out with them too! Here are Willa and Ethan having a staring contest:
Violet really loved Louie, my sister's new boston terrier pup. He is SO CUTE!! And LOVED to give Violet kisses!
Violet with her mint chocolate chip ice cream mustacheSo many lakes, so little time! First we were at Glen Lake at our cottage, then Bostwick Lake to visit Jon's dad, and we also took a walk to Reed's Lake and had coffee and snacks while watching the sailboats go by.
We got to stay with Jon's mom for a few nights - Violet really loved helping Oma make her famous monkey bread!

And Oma really loved getting to snuggle with Willa.In order to see everyone we could, we had a picnic at the park one evening. Unfortunately the weather was really cold and rainy, but soooo many people stopped out to say hi! We just loved it - thanks to everyone for coming out!

Here are my friend Sue holding Willa, her daughter Megan in the back, my sister Leah talking to Willa and my Aunt Jane.
