Colby LOVES animals. So I decided we should get him a dog. It look me about 5 days to convince Erick, and he finally said okay.
I found this adorable labradoodle on KSL (Lab/Poodle mix). He was so cute! We found out they make super great dogs. We brought the dog home on Memorial Day and named him Reggie.
Everything was going pretty good until today. Colby decided he was scared of the dog. He wanted to be held, or sit in his high chair, or sit at the back of the couch where the doggie couldn't get him. When the dog would lick him, Colby would push his face away. The dog would take the toys right out of Colby's hands and he'd cry.
So, we decided to take the dog back to the breeder. Having a kid is way easier than having a dog. And, I don't want Colby to be afraid of playing on the floor.
Hello Reggie. Goodbye Reggie. We won't be having a dog any time soon.

Little Things I Don't Want to Forget
Colby is so funny! I wanted to jot down some of the things he does so I don't forget.
Colby loves being outside. He figured out how to go down one stair walking just to look out the backdoor while Erick is working in the yard. He cries if you go outside without him, and cries when we bring him back inside.
Colby likes to wiggle into tight spots. He often gets stuck. These spots include between my bed and nightstand and between the couch and the wall.
Colby likes to drag stuff around our house. This "stuff" includes garbage cans, laundry baskets, and rubbermaid containers. Sometimes he gets stuck and grunts until he wiggles free.
Colby LOVES animals. He tried to run across the street to see the doggies. He loves laying on my mom's cat and getting licked in the face by big dogs.
Colby loves to carry anything that has a handle: spoon, spatula, and pan lids. He also LOVES cups. Good thing he can drink through a straw.
Colby weened himself off a bottle, formula, and baby food all in one week. He eats whatever we're having for dinner and uses his fingers to help "chew" because he only has two teeth! :)

My Cancer Fears Me
Samantha went through two back surgeries to fuse her crushed vertebrae. She has begun her year-long chemotherapy treatment. My heart goes out to Sam and her parents. I do not know how they are holding it together. I can't even writing this email.
I am helping organize a fundraiser to help pay for her treatment (close to one million dollars). If you, or anyone you know, would be willing to donate items for a silent auction, please let me know. We are looking for items to put into baskets. Anything is appreciated.
