We haven’t had a puppy update in awhile! Here’s Bailey today after a much needed haircut (it was six months since the last one and the groomer was not happy). He’ll likely need to wear a sweater in the chilly weather but lost about 1kg of weight in hair! 
Bailey is experiencing sibling rivalry with baby Truett. I found him in Truett’s crib once, which was terrifying but thankfully Truett wasn’t in it. He is learning that Truett’s toys and areas (bouncer, playmat) are off-limits to him, but he still tries to test the boundaries. He gets most anxious when Truett does his high-pitched cries (only when he’s cold, way overtired, etc), responding by whining and running around. 
We’re trying to give our fur baby as much attention as possible. As soon as Truett starts eating (and throwing) real food, we know Bailey will definitely be glad he’s around!

Truett’s Bedroom Inspiration

We haven’t set-up a nursery for Truett yet since he sleeps in our room, but now that we’re talking about moving him into his own room I decided a bit of decorating is in order. I want to do it around the life verse we chose for Truett, which is:

Joshua 1:9 - “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Kyle and I both love this passage and believe it fits Truett since he was born in Switzerland and will likely live several places throughout his life. The end of the verse “…wherever you go” inspired the thought of a transportation theme for his bedroom. It’s age-appropriate without being overtly “baby”, masculine and fun! Here is the nursery inspiration board I created to get started:

A few shots of our precious Tru from the past month. He’s 12 weeks old and on the small side still at 9.3lb and 21in long. He loves bath time with daddy, kicking his legs in his bouncer, being worn by mommy in the carrier, and he just started sucking his thumb while sleeping. So cute!

Our supportive family and friends back in the United States gave us a “remote” baby shower with so many wonderful and much-needed baby supplies! We took a labor and birthing class last weekend, so with that knowledge and these items we are prepared as we’re going to be for our son’s arrival in a few weeks!
