Still more birthday

Dear Baby Bird,

We had two more birthday celebrations: one at Grandma's house, and then our house this morning (your actual birthday)

Love,
Mom

Today we went to the parade for the 4th of July.

Kubb and Sparklers

Dear Baby Bird,

For today's celebrations, you got a gift from Brother and Dad: a Viking game called Kubb.

We had friends over to do sparklers and some small fireworks, you really liked them!

Love,
Mom

Let the celebrations begin!

Dear Baby Bird,

Your birthday is in a few days, and the celebrations started today with a trip to Nana's.

Love,
Mom

Mini Golf Fun

Dear Baby Bird,

Mom's cousin is visiting from Florida, and tonight we all went for your first time mini-golfing.

 
You loved it; most of the time you hit it like this:

Lots of fun!

Love,
Mom

Growing up so fast

Dear Baby Bird,

I can't even believe it's already time; you started summer school at your preschool!

You did so great, just walked right in and started playing. You have been so lucky to make friends while at Mrs. Angie's house, and I know you are looking forward to seeing them again soon.

I'm so proud of you growing up and making friends and trying new things.

Love,
Mom

Splash! Blastoff!

Dear Baby Bird,

What a weekend! We went to celebrate Dad's god-daughter's birthday; you got to play in the sand, splash pad, beach, and playground. You loved it!

 Then we launched rockets; Brother used his iPad to time the flight.

Unfortunately, our last one got stuck in a tree, but we managed to rescue it.

Love,
Mom

Delicious Adventures

Dear Baby Bird,

This morning we snuck out to get donuts and coffee at a bakery near Mrs. Nancy's house.

 On the way home we saw a sign for strawberries, so we stopped and got some!

Then we met Aunt Karina, Uncle Jake, Grandma and Grandpa for lunch and a really yummy place. You and I both had crepes, boy were they delicious! We'll definitely have to go back!

Love,
Mom

Sheboygan Visit

Dear Baby Bird,

We took a trip to Sheboygan to visit Mrs. Nancy (your godmother) and her family in their new house. You especially loved her long flat driveway and sidewalks, perfect for your bike!

 

We took a walk with Baby Andrew in the morning, I think you both enjoyed your wheels.

 

Then a trip to Bookworm Gardens, which was SOOO cool!

You always love when you can find a way to make music.

Hello in there...

That night we went to explore the harbor, which meant ice cream and ships!
 

 

Love,

Mom
