Popping in for updates

Hi everyone! Just popping in to update you! This will be short. We got a Great Dane puppy! I am still allergic to cats. Winter(puppy's name) is doing great! If I had known puppies were so easy I would have done it a looong time ago. She is incredibly calm for being only 11 weeks old! It took about two weeks to potty train her, and we just started obedience school last Tuesday. Last Saturday I TOTALED my car....with Ivy in it! Everyone is perfectly fine thank God! All I have to say is...get your carseat installed by a professional at one of those seat installation events. It literally saved Ivy's life. We are currently borrowing a friends car seat while our Britax Marathon(Cowmooflage, woot!) is being delivered. Ivy is doing great! She doesn't get much tummy time unfortunately but she is thisclose to sitting up on her own. We got her ears pierced the day before Thanksgiving. She didn't even cry! I am still at home with her which I am enjoying immensely. She is still EBF, it's going great, I love it! She turns 4 months on Wednesday.

Pics!

In San Francisco:

First trip to the ocean and she sleeps through it!

Winter:

Thanksgiving with Grandma, we put her hair in pigtails, they stuck straight up lol!

I think Cambria has the same outfit?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
