Best Friends

One Saturday morning in March of 2008, I made a trip to PetSmart to pick up a bag of cat food. When I left the store, I had fallen in love with a 6 month old beagle mix puppy. I spent the next week talking with the rescue foundation, filling out their application, and, most importantly, convincing Greg that it was time for us to get a dog. It took some hard work on my part but I won Greg over the moment I suggested the dog's name should be Kirby, after his all time favorite baseball player, Kirby Puckett.

Kirby has been a wonderful addition to our family, full of so much energy and love. While I was pregnant, we would tell Kirby that I was carrying his best friend. And since the day Kendrick was born, he has been just that. Kirby is so concerned when Kendrick cries, kisses him like crazy, and loves to sit down to play with him on the weekends. Kendrick loves it when I carry him while chasing Kirby through the house, smiling like crazy and watching to see where "his puppy" is going next.



Kendrick's night time best friend is his glowing sea horse. My good friend Amy (a.k.a. my go-to-person for all questions and suggestions related to baby) highly recommended this seahorse as a sleep aid. The seahorse lights up and plays lullaby's for five minutes. During the five minutes, Kendrick attempts to get the entire seahorse in his mouth. Eventually, the lullaby's get him and he falls asleep... with the sea horse always asleep at his head.

  1. Awwww, so cute...he has 2 best friends already, what a lucky guy!! Our cat, Jambo, is Ethan's "Nana cat" as we call her bc she is always around. I wouldn't say that either cat LIKES Ethan per se, but they tolerate him.

    E loves to play with his seahorse when he wakes up from naps! Glad Kendrick likes it too :)

  2. Those pics are adorable! I can't believe he is already 5 months old. Time flies way too fast! I can't wait to see him again. When they get a little older we will have to get the boys together to "play".
