"Lizzy"

So after some debate and trying out a million names for our new puppy, we have decided on "Lizzy". She seems to respond to that name really well. So our puppy is now eight weeks old, and is growing fast, although she is still quite small since she was the runt. "Lizzy" is learning quickly, potty training is a difficult thing but she is catching on well. She already knows what "No" means, which is really handy since she is always getting into trouble. "Lizzy" is adorable, though. I just love the way her ears sit directly on top of her head but yet they are slighty perked up. I'm so happy I got a dog. I know that its hard at first especially when they are so little, but its totally worth it. Dogs are the best companions, they love you unconditionly, the don't judge, and they are always there for you when your sad or sick. As long as you take care of them they will take care of you. Its been kinda difficult the last week though, because Cambry is still sleeping in our room so I have had to sleep out on the couch until the dog is more kennel trained and doesn't have to go out so frequenlty. But Jake is working on getting her crib up so she can go into her own room. Its definately time for that.

So Cambry is doin really well with the crawling, She has yet to get up on her knees, but she can do the army crawl well. I think she may be getting another tooth because she has been so fussy. No matter where she is, what toys she has or who's holding her she is fussing. Its so tiring trying to find a way to soothe her. The last few nights she hasn't gone to bed until almost 1am. Then she wakes up at like 5 or 6. She used to sleep for a good eight hours. Not any more. Its so frustrating, I just don't know what to do. I'm so exhausted by the time I get to bed especially on the days I work. I just can't continue staying up till 1 then getting up every 3 hours with the dog and then having Cambry wide awake at 6. I feel so bad for Jake, too because when I 'm tired I can be very mean. I feel so bad because I know its not his fault but I'm just so tired and with Cambry fussy all the time its hard not to snap at him. Luckily he knows that I'm that way so I don't think he takes it too personally. I just hope she can get back into her regular sleep schedule soon!
