Transitioning

If I had my way, Aubri would sleep in her pak'n play in our room until she's 30, but Dustin thought it best for both her and me if she moved to her own bedroom when she is 6 months old. Well, her 6-month birthday is right around the corner, so I've started putting her down for naps in her crib so she won't be shocked when she starts sleeping in there all the time. The first time, she cried for over an hour before she fell asleep from exhaustion. Her second nap went about the same, until I couldn't stand the crying anymore. I called Dustin and he suggested that I put her pak'n play mattress in her crib so she feels more comfortable. And guess what?!? If worked. She rolled around and cooed for about 45 minutes, but didn't cry much at all before she fell asleep.

Broken Bow, OK

This weekend we went with Aunt Jacquelyn, Uncle Doug and some other families to Broken Bow, Oklahoma. We rented a big fancy cabin, swam in the lake and had a wonderful time.

We rented a pontoon boat to cruise the lake.

Aubri made friends with Dakota.

A lake rat is born.

Family pictures

Two weeks ago, we went to a park in Arlington and had family pictures taken. I think they turned out really well. Here are some of my favorites. Copy and paste the link below to see the rest.

More water fun

We recently joined Lifetime Fitness and today we went swimming. Aubri really loves her float that Aunt Lauren got for her. We've taken it to the water park several times and we have a blast.

So maybe she's a little sad. :-)

Wordless Wednesday

Baby model

A good friend gave us this super cute outfit and I couldn't wait to put her in it and snap some pictures. Our little girl is so awesome!

She's getting so big!!

5 months old!

This last week our little bug turned 5 months old. She's getting so big. Toward the end of July, she started pulling her legs up under her torso and rocking back and forth. I'm so proud to see her growing and learning new things, but it makes my heart ache to think that she'll never be this small again and I so desperately want to hold on to these precious moments.

Happy baby in daddy's lap

She's on the move

Laundry basket fun.
