FURminator



Harry got me the FURminator for an early Mothers Day gift. (Actually, I just bought it myself but whatever). Seriously, the amount of hair that he has been shedding lately is ridiculous! I think it's partly due to the super humidity Dallas has been experiencing (part of what I do not miss about Houston). It's not quite as bad as the pup in this picture, but bad enough to make me need to drag my vacuum out almost daily. We'll see if this dog brush on steroids is all it's cracked up to be!

4 Month Check Up



It's so hard to believe that Saylor turned 4 months old yesterday...my how time flies when you're having fun! We went for her well check up with Dr. Yeager and she did great. She is growing well; she now weighs 15 lbs and is 25.5 inches tall. Her percentiles are all exactly where they were at her 2 month check up. Say got more shots yesterday but actually handled them like a champ with only a few minutes of red-faced crying. :) She did, of course, save her poopy diaper of the day for right in the middle of Dr. Yeager's exam - she seems to have a knack for saving those up for inconvenient times - ha! But, everything else was pretty routine and overall we are so thankful for our healthy baby girl. It's true that things really do get easier as they get older...despite our many sleepless nights in the beginning and difficulty getting her to take the bottle, she has turned out to be a pretty laid back baby. Everything is getting a little more predictable - at least for the time being! We are enjoying her little emerging personality and getting to see her do new things all the time. She definitely has a serious and quiet side (guess that's not surprising?) but also has many funny moments of laughter and delight, as well as determination to get what she wants (right now that means putting EVERYTHING in her mouth)!

Here are a few pictures while we waited for the Dr. to come in....look at those chubby legs! Love 'em!





Maybe by her 6 month check up little bug will have a little more hair...at least here's hoping!


We are taking a three day weekend to visit Houston for Keegan's baby shower and Mother's Day. As always it will be a busy trip but we are excited to see friends and family and celebrate a special day!
