We've been wanting to get a dog for a LONG time! We wanted to get one when we moved into the house, but then Henry decided to come early, and it just hasn't really worked out until now. So we thought it would be fun to get a dog for Henry's 1st birthday. We found a boxer lab mix on the internet for only 30 bucks, so we jumped on the deal and brought the little cutie home. So far he's been really good with Henry and doesn't bite too hard. Alan caught this cute little moment on the camera.. I love it.

We are planning on kennel training him, so until we get the kennel this oversized tub will have to do. I swear he likes it, he goes in all by himself.

Potty training is definitely NOT my thing, but he's been doing really well and I hope I can get it done by the time I have to go back to work next week.

11 Months

In one more month my baby will be a YEAR OLD. When I sit back and think about those long days at the hospital, I felt like the time would never come when he would be able to come home and be ours to take care of. And now he is more independent every day and it really is a bittersweet feeling to see your baby grow up. I love the little person he is growing up to be, and to see his sweet little personality coming out. But I long for the days when I could just hold him in my arms and stare at him while he slept. I am so in love with my baby, and I feel so blessed to have him with me today and healthy.

We have heard of a lot of babies going to the hospital lately with RSV, and that has been something that scares us with Henry J. We got lucky that he qualified for the Synergist shot and the insurance would cover it because it's like 3,100 dollars a shot. Henry just got the second shot the other day, and it's so comforting to know that we can take advantage of modern day medicine.


This is how I find Henry in the mornings. I put him on his belly half way down the bed, and he manages to get on his back in the corner of the crib.


Peek-a-Boo!

Love my Baby J.

Boys

How time flies when you are in love with your baby.

I hope that Champ and Henry can be friends for a long time.

Yay!

So I may or may not have been lusting after the giant cupcake mold for awhile, but never brought myself to actually go buy one. Well for Valentines Day, my Alan went and got one for me despite the fact that he thinks it's "somewhat ridiculous". So you can imagine my surprise when I opened it and that little beauty was now in my posession.

The shadows are really bad on this, but here's my first creation.

My fun February craft with the giant cupcake.




And a cute picture of the boy because what would a post be without one.

To my Valentine

I don't want much, I just want you.

Guess who is finally sitting up?

I couldn't have picked a better dad for Henry J.
