Half a year old and this girl is keeping us on our toes! Since last month, Dakota has begun to sit up fairly well, but still assisted. We have a feeling she’ll get the hang of it in no time. She is constantly exploring new sounds she can make, spitting and yelling all day long. Her absolute favorite right now is to squinch up her face and snort like a little piggy.

Just over six weeks ago we welcomed Jaxon Taylor Dove into the world. My sister-in-law Julianne found out she was pregnant just a few months after I did. With all the uncertainty and excitement that comes with first-time pregnancies, going through this together was truly a godsend.
