Ike's First Week as a member of the West Family

Ike is adjusting really well to his new home, and already has us wrapped around his little paw. He had never walked on a leash before we brought him home, but he's a pro already! And potty training is going well - still no accidents in the house (KNOCK ON WOOD). Our little guy is definitely the cutest, smartest, more wonderful puppy ever!! He slept through the night last night (snuggled right up against Aaron) without having to go out to go to the bathroom until about 6:30 this moring. Ike is responding to his name and being a very good boy - well, except for chewing through Daddy's computer power cord, but he apologized when Aaron got home! Oops! Here are some more pictures:

New Addition to the Family

Aaron and I welcomed home a new addition to our family last night, a healthy and happy baby boy named Douglas Dwight "Ike" West. He was born on June 6, 2008 - the 64th anniversary of D-Day, hence the name "Ike." Our little boy weighs 8 pounds, 2 ounces and has black hair. Mom and Dad only had to get up once last night for him to go to the bathroom. He's precious and full of energy, as puppies tend to be. And he can't wait to meet all of our family and friends!
