Forth Worth Zoo

May 22, 2019

We had never been to the Fort Worth Zoo before. Russell was supposed to go on the field trip there, but it was raining the day we had it planned. We decided to go just the three of us on their half-price Wednesdays before it got too hot. We had a great time! We stayed way longer than I anticipated and we didn't even see all of it!








Audrey Grows- Six Months

June 11, 2019




*Weighs 15lbs 9oz
*25.75 inches tall
*Her percentiles are all almost average, until Russell
who was always small with a giant head
*Waking up only once at night to nurse
*Loving solid food
*Great little napper- she will fall asleep in my arms 
while we are in the pool!
*Starting to try and crawl around already!!
*Rolls in all directions now, so she no longer gets
stuck on her back when she rolls over at night. 
Glad I don't have to rescue the turtle girl in the middle
of the night anymore.
*Completely swaddle free. Likes wearing a sleep sack
*Grabbing at anything within reach- especially loves hair
*Loves her big brother so much. Smiles so big when she sees him

Russell wanted to cuddle with Audrey

Russell was learning to swim pretty far

Sunday naps are the best- even during Primary

My morning swim lessons buddy

Learning that crawling on wood is harder than
on carpet

We were having cooler than normal weather, which was
amazing except that the pool water in the morning was 
very cold. Russell spent a lot of time shivering and trying to
keep warm

Audrey and Zoey seem to like the same toys

Big brothers can be helpful at times

Playing some baseball- our baseman kept
crawling away

She's decided tubs are pleasant now that she
can sit and doesn't have to be laying on her back

Checking out our future backyard!

Went to see Ashee in Les Miserables. She was amazing, of course

One last walk around the neighborhood before
we move

Had to stop by the garden one more time

Waiting to buy a house!

Both a bit unsure about the new house and 
moving around on the wood floors

Russell has a new job- dark wood and light dog hair
is terrible combination 

Russell wanted to stop by our old house and say
goodbye again

Ham Orchard Adventure

June 1, 2019
I thought it would be fun to try something new one weekend. We drove out to this peach orchard that several of my friends have been going to every year. It was definitely a bit of a drive to get there, and man was it a popular place! They had a cute little store with lots of fresh produce and homemade jams, salsas and desserts, but it was way too crowded to really get a good look around. They had a blackberry patch that you could pick your own to take home. We weren't sure we were going to do that, especially since I'm the only one who eats them, but once Russell learned that you could he was super excited to participate. He was concerned we were taking too long getting our bucket and all the berries would be gone! After picking berries in the sun, we cooled off with their homemade strawberry and peach ice cream. It was a winner with all four of us! Audrey did break out in a small rash after eating it. We aren't quite sure which ingredient was the cause, but it didn't last long. 



He was very good at finding the ripe ones


Audrey was pretty good too

He would have spent forever finding every
ripe one in the patch if we had let him




She liked it so much that she kept trying
to feed it to herself faster than I was
