Week 11 - Father's Day



Summer Fun!

This week brought Reggie's first Father's Day with Aubrey. To celebrate the day, the whole family loaded up and headed down to Carl Junction to visit Papa and Grandma Rosie's house. Our little girl got lots of love, and can't wait to go down when she is a bit bigger so she can ride in the golf cart with her brother!

Ridin' in style!

Henry stayed in Carl Junction through Wednesday, so Laura and I took advantage of the situation and were able to take Aubrey on a tour restaurants that don't serve grilled cheese or macaroni and cheese! It was like turning back the clock to 2010. Laura and I were able to have adult conversations, all while the baby slept!

  

Happy Father's Day!

 Earlier in the week, Henry's daycare held their annual field trip to the zoo. Henry loved the polar bear and lion exhibits. The temperature was around 97 that day, so we decided against putting Aubrey in the Baby Bjorn. Luckily for us and Aubs, we found out that one of the viewing spots for the lions was enclosed and air conditioned. We happened to come up on this location right at Aubrey was getting hungry. Perfect timing! (well, not for the guys that were sitting on the next bench in the back of the exhibit - Laura quickly found that she was alone back there :) ).

What you can't see is Henry off-camera growling like a lion and scaring Aubs!

 Laura must be driving our Bob stroller like she's a Mario Andretti, because while walking back from the 'Africa' exhibit, one of Aubrey's back tires blew on us! As you would guess, this was literally the furthest point from zoo entrance. So, Aubrey had to endure a not-so comfortable ride all the way back to the entrance. Note - A stroller with a blown back right tire pulls significantly to the right as you push it!



Aubrey looks on with jealous eyes...



This week also marked the start of the Bogarts being members at the city pool. It is perfect for us as parents - Henry loves playing in the water, and Aubs loves sitting in the shade outside. We even let her dabble her toes into the water (no response one way or the other).

My new bed!!!



Developmentally, Aubrey continues to grow quickly, and now is having issue fitting into certain 0-3 clothes due to her length. She is also now sleeping full-time in her crib! It was hard at first for Laura to give up knowing her baby was sleeping right next to her, but it has been great overall. In addition, Aubs only wakes up once/night (if that) to eat! In fact, there are mornings that Laura has to wake her up before heading to the gym to force her to eat/"relieve" :)

  



Aubs looked bored; thanks Henry!
