First of all, let me talk a little bit about my first fur child, Brinkley. The whole reason we bought a house, is so we could have a dog. Just kidding...a little...
My husband and I both grew up with dogs and we knew we wanted them whenever we got a house. I've always been in love with huskies, so after a lot of research, we found our Brinkley. He was just 6 weeks old when we took him home. Looking back it is crazy with how little he used to be. He is now a whopping 55 lbs (20 lbs smaller than his little sister).
Today, we celebrate this sweet boy's 4th birthday. I can't believe he is already 4!
And of course we got them gifts. Brinkley got a 3ft long rope with knots, and Clover got a stuffed squirrel. (Had to get Clover something to be fair.)
Brinkley is just a few weeks old in these pictures. This is what the breeder took for us.
This was our first day home with him
His first birthday
We took them to see horses. Look how small Clover was on the left! She was only 6 months old in this picture.
This was after Elena's first Christmas. They love her!
Happy 4th birthday my boy!
Now, onto Elena's independence:
Just this past week, Elena does not want to lay down to get a diaper change or to get dressed. We have been doing changings standing up for the past couple of days, and I feel like I am becoming a pro at in now. But just this morning, as soon as diaper came off, she started peeing in the floor. I really couldn't help but laugh. I moved her to a different spot while my husband cleaned up the mess, and she starts peeing again. I know I shouldn't laugh, but it was hard! I feel like Elena may be pushing her boundaries now on what she can get away with. (How is she at this age already?)
She is still the sweetest most loving baby I could ever ask for. She likes to give "hugs" and just lay there and snuggle with me and her toys.
I really thought she would be walking by now, not that I'm trying to rush. At 8 months, she was already getting into a standing position all by herself. After a month or so of walking while holding her hands, she finally started using her walker! Before, she would just let it roll out from under her.
I can't believe my baby is almost 1! Time is surely a thief!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Xoxo,
Amy
