We got a walker!

It is now official- Avree is walking! She has taken 'steps' for a month and a half, and finally she is walking! She can walk across the room with no problem. She can even get to her feet with out help. I can't believe she is 9 months and walking!! Oh boy! :-)
Everything is going well with the new addition. He has had his moments, when I thought we should just get rid of him! Things are going much better. He starts puppy class this weekend, so hopefully that will help him listen better.
Avree and Brasco get along really well. She pulls on him and he just lays there. Which is really good! He just always wants to pick up her pacis and her sippy cup! GROSS! I am just hoping he is fully potty trained before we leave for Italy in March!

Well that is all for now!

First night with Brasco

Well our first night went great, cause I didn't have to get up and let him out :-) Ha-ha. I told Matt since he wanted to get a dog so bad, he can get up in the middle of the night with him. I don't think he thought it would be that much work, but after one night he definitely changed his mind. :) He can hardly keep his eyes open! Brasco is more work than Avree has been! I don't ever get up that much with Avree. She has slept through the night since the day we brought her home.

But Matt planned this whole puppy thing out perfectly! He leaves for work next week, and will be gone for one full week. Then he is gone every week in Feb! Which of course leaves me to get up in the middle of the night with him. AWESOME! As if I don't already have enough on my plate! (I guess Matt doesn't think so.)Ha-Ha.

I am excited to have another puppy and I am sure everything will go smooth once he gets use to us. I think it will be good to have Bentley around to "help me".

New addition to the Melhus family!!!

Matt came home today and brought someone with him.. A little PUPPY!!! We might be crazy, but we are up for the challenge :-) He is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, 13 weeks, and is really cute!! We have decided to name his Brasco. Not sure how this whole potty training and watching Avree will work, but I am willing to give it a try. ;-)

Great Wolf Lodge

Great Wolf Lodge

Matt's two brothers came to Kansas City for the weekend and stayed out at the Great Wolf Lodge, so Avree and I met them out there and we all went swimming! We had an awesome time. That place is HUGE! Avree loved being in the water!
