Brooke, Clarke Littles

5 Months

5 months2015-08-01 17.32.17

Wow! I know I say this every time, but this month has flown by, I am in awe that Brooke is 5 months old. She is growing so fast. I know they tell you it flies by, but I had no idea how fast it would really seem. She got to see her grandparents again this month when we went back to our hometown. She also had her first boat ride and got to meet some more family for the 1st time. She is still growing and learning so much. She is becoming more active and starting to play with her toys. She is still pretty small since she was a preemie but she is growing at a good pace. Developmentally, she really wants to play sitting up in an ExerSaucer, but she is still too small for the seat. I feel bad because she wants to play with it, but she is still growing good, so hopefully soon! Until then, I am letting her play sitting up in my lap or in her floor seat (but she still kind of leans forward in it so it doesn’t work the greatest yet).

 

Oh and PSA: I found my bow LOVE this month, James & Faye. Their headbands are adorable, priced good, and best of all, they don’t leave a mark on Brooke’s head. Promo code SIMPLYCLARKE for 30% off your order. Now, I am on the hunt for a few good head wrap  style headbands for Brooke.

    You should check out Mama Owl Shop for headbands. My friend recently told me about it and I think the little turban headbands are so cute.

    I have a little boy but if or when I have a little girl in the future I would definitely get something from her shop!

    Brooke is absolutely adorable and I love reading her monthly update posts.

  • #ad Making a snack board can be intimidating, but using great products is key!

I love using @Bluediamond Nut-Thins® 💙 because they’re gluten free and I love the crisp texture. Plus, they are sturdy and perfect for topping/dipping on any snack board.

And, @montchevre Garlic & Herb Goat Cheese 🧀 has such a great flavor and is made with the highest quality goat’s milk sourced locally in the Midwest. 

Finally, @mikeshothoney gives you the perfect mix of sweet and heat! 🍯It’s great to drizzle on any foods on your board. 

Grab these and your other favorites at @walmart to make a delicious charcuterie board! 🚨 From 07/18/25 to 08/20/25 – Buy one (1) Montchevre® Goat Cheese & get one (1) Blue Diamond® Nut-Thins® free at Walmart. #mikeshothoney
  • #SnackFactoryPartner You’re gonna want to try these! 💙The @snackfactory Pop’ums are perfect for movie nights. 

They have a golden pretzel outside with a light and crispy inside. They are so good, we just can’t get enough!. You can find them in the salty snack aisle at @Target!
