Our growing boy!

Well, it has been about two weeks since Yogurt has entered our lives and we are loving every minute of it!! I wish we would have measured him when we first got him so we could see how big he has gotten, but we didn't :( He definitely has grown. He's about two times the size he was (at least in length). When we first got him his whole body fit in my hand! Now he is almost as long as my forearm! Here are some new things he does!

He likes to play with his mommy! He loves to play hide and seek and is pretty good at playing fetch!



He bites anything he can get in his mouth! He loves to bite our fingers (and my hair). He also likes to bite our ears and noses.. He is starting to bite kinda hard too LOL.



This is a comparison pic. There is another picture of him next to the baseball and it's about half his height. I realize this is not the same position, but it's hard enough to take a pic of him without him biting the camera or running toward me, so the best shots I get of him are when he's asleep. Lol :)


You can see how big he is compared to my hand/arm.


He likes to sleep on his back with all of his legs spread out! He's just so dang cute!


He has discovered his toys! He loves to chew on his 'bone/stick' thing I got him. Also, his hormones are starting to kick in... He has found his 'humping' toy... The bone he is laying on in this pic is the one he likes to "get up on" if you know what I mean! He tried to hump my arm too, but we won't be having any of that in my house!!



After he eats his tummy gets HUGE! It looks like he swallowed a tennis ball! We call it his Buddha belly :)


Some other things he does now:

- He is pretty good about peeing on his pee pad, but his new thing is smelling the pee pad and peeing on the floor just in front of it!

- He likes to sleep with his head hanging off of whatever he is sleeping on. Sometimes he falls out of bed because of it!

- When he's tired he will crawl up into my lap and fall asleep :)

- He likes to chew computer cords, shoes, pillows...

- He is getting better at jumping onto and over things.

- When he's full he rolls out of bed because his belly is so big he can't get up to get out. You know when he gets up because all of a sudden you will hear a "thump!"

- His ears are starting to flop over instead of stand straight up.

- When he hears music he sits up straight and cocks his head to the side.

He is our joy! We love him so much! He is so sweet and full of personality. We can't wait to see what he'll do next! (Though we hope it's not having accidents in the house!)

Yosemite


I went to a family reunion in Yosemite last week. The weather was beautiful! We used to go all the time when I was little, so it was nice to go again. The last time we went was in 2001 (also a fam reunion), I was 15. Last time the waterfalls were all dry, this year was the exact opposite! There was SO MUCH water! They said that this is the most water they have had in a long time! Here are some pics from the week.

I have more, but I haven't had time to edit them. I have to do it when Yogurt is asleep because he likes to chew my computer cord, and if I sit up where he can't get to me he just sits there and whines. He's just so cute I can't help but want to sit and play with him! He is seriously my lifesaver! If I didn't have him I don't know what I would do. Eric is so busy with school that I would be so lonely. Thanks to Yogurt I have a constant buddy by my side :) Anyway, enjoy the pics!



Yosemite Valley



Happy isles trail (? I can't remember the name, but it connects to the mist trail)



Sweet spider I saw! It's butt was the size of a dime!


Mirror Lake


Vernal Falls (the Mist Trail. You get SOAKED on this trail because you get so close to the Falls!)

Half Dome (which I did climb, the pics are on my other camera, so I'll get them on the blog soon!)


It was fun to do all the hikes and be in nature. I miss camping and being able to do stuff outside and not frying... Can't wait until fall, or at least monsoon season so I can see some sweet lightning storms! I will get the rest of the pics up soon as well as an update on Yogurt with pictures to go with it so you can see how big he's getting! He's probably doubled in size already! Don't get me wrong, he's still small! Lol!

To be continued....

I like Yogurt!...

Meet Yogurt. He is the newest member of our family!! We got him on June 9th from a breeder in Phoenix. He is a Teacup Chihuahua and is 6 weeks old. He is SO much fun! I think I'll have puppies instead of children! Lol. He is a sweetheart. He loves to cuddle and play. He also loves to pee where ever he wants, Lol, and I still love him to pieces! I know you've all been waiting to see pictures of him, so here are a few from the last few days :)

Oh, and if you know where the name comes from without being told you are definitely an 80's child!




This is Yogurt right after we got him. He was so sleepy! He slept almost the whole day!

He loves to lay on his back! Lol! He will lay on your chest and before you know it he is on his back with his paws in your chin and his head wrapped around your neck!


This picture is for size. He is sitting next to a baseball :) When he's full grown he will be about
4 lbs.
This is him wrapped in his blankie after his bath. He was shivering like crazy, poor puppy!



Yogurt playing with his daddy :)



Sleepy time!



Daddy son pic!



More sleepy time!



I couldn't resist he's just so cute!



Smile! :)


...and that is Yogurt!

After many times of re-doing this post I'm giving in. I can't seem to get the pictures all the same size. I re-sized them all the same and some would still be big and some would be TINY. If anyone can help me out and tell me how to make the pictures smaller I would REALLY appreciate it. I use photoshop CS3. Now onto the post..


Once again here are the pics from our Memorial Day hike with my bros. I added in a couple pictures. I love the one of Steve and Madison, so cute!

Eric is at school today. He didn't start class today, it's more of a prep day. They are having the students come in and finish filling out paperwork and getting their computers linked up to the school's system. Thursday he has orientation (which I can go to), and class starts Monday. He got his schedule yesterday. He's going to be in class all day every day! :( Mon, Wed, Fri he's in class from 7am- 4pm ( I think he gets off early on Friday tho.) Tue, Thurs he has class from 9am-4 or 5 pm (I can't remember.) I think he is semi excited, but more just wants to get it over with.

I am going to Yosemite with my family next week! It's our family reunion. We have one every 5 years. I am excited to go, but sad that Eric can't go. I wasn't going to go at first, but Eric said it is ok if I go, so I'm going. I am getting a phone call from a possible job today, so keep your fingers crossed that I get it! Ok, enough of the updates! Here are the pics!
