Newest Member of the Family

So since we have moved into our house and now have a massive backyard, Reed has been wanting to get a dog. That's right, a dog. I have been dragging my feet and been very reluctant on getting one, but I finally gave in and we got one.

Meet Rose

Rose is a Siberian Husky and is 3 months old. She is extremely lovable and cuddly. She loves JD so much. We take walks every night and it has become a game to her to keep up with JD on his bike so that she is walking right beside him. If he isn't taking a walk with us, she will drag her feet the whole time. We have learned the Huskies are very smart. on her first morning home, she only walked on the carpet three times before learning that she wasn't allowed on it. She does not come on the carpet anymore, even with the cat sitting a couple feet away. She loves kids. Any kid near will soon be covered with kisses from her. We learned that Peyton doesn't like puppy kisses, just like her mommy.

JD has been great with taking care of her. He feeds her twice a day and cleans up after her. Our four-year-old has his first job of his life: his dog. Luckily, he never complains about it at all. We are still having puppy moments, but working through them. We just wanted everyone to meet the newest member of our family.

Thumb Suckers!

Today while Peyton was taking her morning nap, I heard a weird noise over the baby monitor. When going into her room to see what it was, I found her in her bed, SUCKING HER THUMB!! Remembering that I took a picture of JD doing the same thing when he was the same age, I decided to make it tradition and take one of her. Hehehe. Aside from the colors, I think they look like the same baby!
