All these posts about Dakota, you've probably forgotten that I have a niece

Chakotay

I'm sure you've been dying to see pictures of our baby. I mean, our dog. What with me packing a backpack for Dakota every day filled with toys, an extra blanket, and treats for good behavior when she goes to Auntie Cyndy's for daycare, and Jim going to sleep with Dakota when she woke up at 4:00 a.m. last night with what we can only assume was a bad dream, you can see how we'd be confused.

5 months old on Wednesday. 38 pounds. Aw, whatagoodgirl.
