Brotherly/Sisterly love

As most of you know, Bella was not our first baby. We "had" Coby almost 3 years ago and he's been a great dog from the day we got him. When we found out we were pregnant with Bella, i was a little nervous about how he would react to her. We have been so lucky- he has been great with her! She absolutely adores Coby and it's so cute to see them together. She loves to give him besos and hugs :) Sometimes, he even licks her and she'll start laughing hysterically. There are times when she does get a little rough with him and pulls his ears or his tail, but he doesn't mind that at all. I have to say, and i'm being a little biased on this, he is the greatest dog in the world! There will never be another dog like Coby! Here are a few pictures to show their brotherly/sisterly love:



In other news, Brian found out last Thursday that he had to go on his trip to Africa a week earlier than planned. Needless to say, this put a damper on our plans of spending one last week together as a family before Bella and I head back to the States for the summer. It was such short notice, that we were both pretty irritated and upset! That's the Navy for you- they always know how to ruin your plans. So, Bella, Coby and I have been hanging out by ourselves since Sunday, waiting for Thursday to get here so we can get back home to see all of our friends and family, who we miss so much! Of course we're going to miss Coby and Brian even more and we'll be counting down the days until he can join us in July :) I can't tell you how nervous i am to be flying with Bella all by myself. I realize people do it all the time but i don't want to be that mom that everyone just stares at when her baby is crying or throwing a tantrum. I will make sure to have plenty of toys and snacks to keep her entertained :) In the meantime, please say a prayer for us and keep your fingers crossed for a somewhat smooth flight back to Virginia!
