Brooke, Clarke Littles

September 7, 2015

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.

BROOKE LOVES

really putting anything in her mouth

her pink ball

mornings

being held like a baby unless she is sleepy

    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.

    https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/MAMAOWLSHOP

    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.

  • Some Sam’s Club finds are just too good to wait until you get home to try! 😂🤎

I found Simply More Cocoa Brownie Flavored Walnuts at Sam’s Club, and the rich, chocolatey brownie flavor with that satisfying crunch makes them such a good snack. I love adding them to yogurt for an easy snack that feels like a little treat without the extra effort!

They’re made with simple, high-quality ingredients and are a good source of ALA Omega-3. Definitely adding these to my list of favorite Sam’s Club snack finds!

  • My holiday to-do list is long enough. I don’t want a beautiful dinner to mean spending my whole evening in the kitchen. ❤️✨#ad

@SeaCuisine Garlic & Herb Tilapia from @KrogerCo made it so easy to create a restaurant-worthy dinner at home!

Add colorful sides, a few festive touches, and a favorite drink, and suddenly an ordinary evening feels like a special occasion. 🥂
