Yep we are at the tail end of this month and I haven't wrote once. Not much has happened besides Huntley turning from my sweet little baby girl into a sassy two year old who thinks her name is "mine." Any tips on teaching your child their own name would be greatly appreciated!
We started off the month with Huntley mastering the art of climbing out of her crib and Chris and I experiencing our first encounter of waking up to someone starting at you in the dark. Creepy. Lucky for us she now has a big girl bed that is high enough off the ground she doesn't dare climb down.
In January we are going on a cruise to Mexico. You're all jealous now right! Well don't be. One particularly blustery day I thought I'd get online to see all the fun things we could do in the nice warm weather. Of course the pool was number one until I read all children must be potty trained in order to go in the pool. We had Potty Training Boot Camp the past few days that ended with both Huntley and I in tears. I don't think it's going to happen in a month. Now our options consist of dealing with a screaming Huntley who can't go in the pool or taking her in without a diaper and hope she doesn't pee while swimming. Doesn't that make you want to tag along.
Last weekend was our anniversary. The year after Huntley was born we went to Jackson Hole for our anniversary and brought Huntley and it was the best vacation ever. Everything was cheap because it was the off season and Huntley was at that really chill six month stage where life is good and she was easy going. This year when we decided to go out of town for our anniversary I figured we brought her then so bringing her now would be the same. Boy was I wrong. At six months Huntley slept through the whole vacation and smiled her way through dinners making sure we got the best service ever. At two years Huntley jumps on the bed while your trying to relax, complains that the National Park is not a park because there is no slide, and creates havoc at the restaurant so you eat your food as fast as possible to get out of there before any major damage can be done. From now on anniversaries will be spent as a couple and not a family affair. 
Chris also was able to do a little fishing lately and ditched Hunt and I for the whole day. I didn't complain one bit because it meant he finally got our camera out of his buddies truck and I was able to look at our pictures from our cruise. Someday it will be warm enough to go swimming outside.
Next since we bought a new house we had to get two new puppies. Meet Ellie, she's the only one who is photogenic, and we also have her brother Bo, who looks just like her so you can just look at the above picture twice. They are Chris's future lion hunters but for now help him out by "babysitting" Huntley during the day.
