4 months of fun

Okay, sorry for the picture overload! But I know the grandparents will love it...
Quick four month update... this month, Julia:
-rolled over
-laughed hysterically
-ate rice cereal (and doesn't like it yet)
-decided she doesn't like to sleep through the night anymore after 2 straight months of doing so
-found her voice, and loves to scream for fun- especially in church
-sucks her left thumb constantly... when she's tired, hungry, needs comfort, or just bored. She loves that thumb!
-stopped balling her eyes out in her car seat... we finally broke her!
-weighs 15 pounds still, and is 27 inches long
-got her first bruise when Mom didn't realize she could move so well, and she fell off the couch while I was getting a bowl of cereal:(
-is becoming so aware of everything, and making Mom and Dad laugh all the time.
This has been such a wonderful month with our baby... we're looking forward to spending her first Christmas in Texas with Brian's family, and New Years with mine in California!

So long Mr. Pup

Today has been one of the hardest days of my life- I had to say goodbye to my best friend, sir Pup. This has been a few months in the process... we always knew Brian was allergic to the dog (but I told him to deal with it) and then we started noticing Julia was too. She would get really red and watery eyes all the time, and sneeze like a maniac. This was heartbreaking to discover, because everyone who knows me knows how much I love my dog. But obviously our child comes first. After weeks of trying to find him the perfect home, we did. These people love pugs so much, they had their last one that died cremated and is now sitting in an urn on their shelf. Even though I know he is going to a good home, it still doesn't make it any easier. I literally feel like my eyeballs are going to fall out from crying. I love you Mr. Puppors, and hope that you have the best life ever, and know that I will always love you and think about you ever single day.
