First Trip To Grandma & Grandpa Schmitt's Cabin!

A year ago mom was telling her parents that their were going to become a grandma & grandpa!  This year mom brought their 5 month old son to the cabin to celebrate the holiday weekend, Memorial weekend!  It was a great trip filled with lots of play time, walks, bears, new toys, naps, food, and giggles with both grandma and grandpa!  Here are some photos to show you how much fun they had.

Duke loves his left toe!

Taking a quick little nap with Dad.

Duke enjoying tummy time!

Love his face, he is watching dad put his toy together and thinking hard if he's doing it right....

Loving it!

So excited.

Lunch time!


Dad & grandpa making Duke walk again....


Loving his grandpa time.


Family walk!

Mom and Duke having fun down by the lake - waiting for the others to arrive after putting the boat in so we could go for a ride!


It was a gorgeous afternoon.

We found some bears, Duke was not even scared!

Testing out a recliner.

Laughing with Grandpa!

I think he is tickling Duke's feet.

Enjoying a family walk to the bridge.  It put Duke right to sleep after a busy morning.

Good thing they got a long couch so these two can share spots to rest.

Playing with Grandma.

Take this off!

Grandpa being silly again.

Ready for story time.

First boat ride - Duke had mixed emotions, this one shows you he did not approve of the life vest, yes it was too big for him.

Co-pilot with Grandpa.

Enjoying the afternoon all buddled up.

Enjoying our hike with the Baby Bjorn - worked perfect.  Duke would turn his head back and forth trying to figure it all out.  First time hiking in the woods.

Nap time.

Out cold.



Enjoying Grandpa's lap.

Fun times at the lake!

Better picture of Duke loving the boat ride, he enjoyed it more when Grandpa was going fast!

Duke and mom watching the loon.

Such an amazing day at the lake - Mom loved every minute telling him about her memories of the cabin and knowing he will also share those same memories!

Duke is 5 Months old!!

Duke is 5 months old today! He has accomplished a lot already.....he can put down a bottle in no time, drool all over like he just took a shower, poop like its going out of style or in his case his diaper, talk gibberish like his dad when he's had one too many, roll over before Jet even learned that trick and melt your heart with his little grin that perks up any cloudy day!
So happy!




When standing stall Duke did measure in at 25" - yes he has grown since his 4 month appointment where he was 24"

Duke loves to stand and move his feet, mom & dad will have their hands full once he starts walking!



I am 5 months old!!!
