My Bella Girl





























I know my posts center around Jason and I, but I need to write for one second about someone who is near and dear to my heart, my 5 month old puppy Bella. Bella is a black lab mix who is just about the cutest little thing in the whole wide world! When I got Bella, I had wanted a puppy for a very long time ( I was so lonely I needed a buddy! ) But it never seemed like any puppy really fit me, plus, I couldn't afford to pay a whole lot for a dog. My good friend Kate text me on a Monday and said, "A teacher I know is giving away lab puppies, do you want one?" Of course, my reply, was yes. She asked if I wanted a girl or a boy, I said girl, and Kate said, "Ok! I am off to pick her up." The next thing I know, I got a picture text from Kate of the cutest little black lab in the world. I fell in love with her immediately! We met at PetsMart and when I laid eyes on her, I was just overcome with love for this little thing! Well, Bella and I spent our first week together and boy, was she a smart little thing. I got up every two hours or so at night to take her out, and took her out alot at night after work, and at lunch, and all of that work paid off. She was potty trained after about a week, and is still so good at it, that she just goes right to the door when she is ready to go out! We are working on a bell right now for Bella and Molly (Jason's dog) so we can hear when they are ready to go out. Bella has always been very sweet, and you have never seen true love until Bella met Sophia for the first time. Sophia loves puppies and at the time, Bella was little enough for Sophia to carry. So, Sophia just poked at her, laid with her, picked her up (by the front two legs only) and Bella just let her. When Bella and Molly met, it was like two sisters. Even now, we are surprised at how fast the two dogs got along, they aruge but always work it out. :-) Bella is a very loyal dog, she follows me and Jason around everywhere we go, but doesn't always need to be loved on, but she is a sweet, SMART dog, very patient, and is always watching. We love her and hope she is with us for a long time. With all of her good points, she does have lab tendencies so here is a list of things she has chewed up:

-My brand new heels
-Jason's electric razor
-My eyeglasses ( I was pretty mad about that one )
- Two pairs of flip flops
-Several of Sophia's toys (But Sophia never gets mad, she said she was "sharing" with Bella)

Oh, and I did tell you she is a lab, so she loves to swim! I am attaching some pictures and a video of my darling puppy.

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...
