Week 27 was a bit of a stinker, and while week 28 was certainly an improvement for this DFW baby photographer, it still contained more than its fair share of chaos. Fingers crossed that week 29 can just sail on easy like. I’m thinking that July is just my dumpster fire month. Every year, I feel like there is that one month where a bunch of things hit the fan all at once. Last year, it was August. The year before it was October. I mean, truly, I have an incredible life filled with many blessings and I am grateful beyond measure for that which I do not deserve. All I’m getting at is that we all live through the roller coaster of life, and and the moment I’m on the part of the coaster where you want to barf. It happens.
DFW BABY PHOTOGRAPHER | WEEK 28

If you keep up with my project, you know that we had to put our dog Bailey to sleep during week 27. This is Rufus, our other fur baby. Rufus is about to celebrate his 12th birthday, so he’s in his golden years as well. He is doing okay without his sister, but we are definitely going out of our way to give him extra loving, and I’m not sure how he feels about that. Rufus is an aloof dog, he reminds me of a cat. He gets pets from you when he wants pets from you. He has always been full of energy, jumping on all our visitors (to my dismay), but he is slowing down too these last few months. Trying to remember to take a bunch of photos and videos of this old guy.

Baby J had my husband and I cracking up because he crawled underneath this side table and apparently couldn’t get himself out. He was stuck for more than 5 minutes. It was the most quiet, calm 5 minutes we’ve experienced in awhile.

I also mentioned that during week 27 my grandma broke her leg. I finally had a chance to visit her in the hospital. Picture in parking lot, because there is no way my grandma is going to let me take her photo in a hospital bed and post in on the internet.

I’m a big “eat what’s on sale” person, so we have been having a lot of asparagus lately. Trying to find ways to jazz it up a bit.

Finding ways to get in trouble, taking all the stuff off my shelves.

Brothers playing at the water table. We have gotten our money’s worth out of that thing!

Of course Baby J had a fever of 104 just after the doctor closed on Friday evening. After a trip to urgent care, we discovered he had hand, foot and mouth disease. It is as horrible as it sounds.

Baby J still mega sick. Day 3 of fever, and it was still at 103. He even fell asleep in my husband’s arms. That basically NEVER happens, so it deserved photo documentation.
