Summertime baby!

We got the memo that the blueberries are ready to be picked, so we took Fiona and picked 10 lbs. of the biggest blueberries we've ever seen. Some of them are the size of grapes! Fiona likes grabbing at the leaves and the berries as we filled our buckets.

After that we went to Wellington to bring some berries to our friends. We stopped in to see Xi and Paul and their little girl Shannon. The berries were a big hit, and so was Xi's baby swing that she just bought for her little one who is due in September. Then we stopped by to visit Marilyn and Jack and we swapped blueberries for some maple syrup from Marilyn's family's sugarbush farm in northern Michigan.

After that, we went home and rested a bit. Then we slathered up in sunblock and went to check out the East Pool in Elyria because I'm thinking about doing a parent-baby swim class but wanted to see how she likes the water first. It was hard to tell whether she liked the water. She wasn't afraid of it and she seemed to be analyzing everything - the water, the noise, the other kids playing in the pool. She didn't like it much when water splashed on her face, but I think it's because she's not used to it yet. All in all, I think the baby swim class will be fun (if not for Fiona, then for me!)

That's what 10 lbs of blueberries looks like. Fiona had just pulled my sunglasses off of my face right before this photo was taken.

Happy, swimmy girl!

4 months and counting!

Fiona is now 4 months old! She's now 14lbs 8oz and 24 1/2 in. long. She is in the 75th percentile for length and 75th percentile for weight.

We'll post more this weekend but for now, here's our little book lover:
