Baby Lund

The first two on this are from 4 weeks ago (7 weeks) and the last one is from today (11 weeks). I enlarged it below.

This is the sonogram picture I had taken today. Matt was able to come (probably the first and last time he'll make the Dr. appointment) so they did a sonogram just for him. It was spectacular. The little guy was moving and kicking around! I couldn't believe how much bigger he was from 4 weeks ago. We're talking from little bean to human being. It's insane. And the heart beat was strong too. I could see his feet and hands and we got a little profile picture on this one too. You could tell he's kinda stuck down in that crevice for now. He would kick and buck his body almost like he was trying to get outta there. And he even kicked at the sonogram lady where she was poking into his space! Soooooo cool!!! Enjoy!

Swagger and Spice are growing up fast! They're about 7 months now and both have been fixed. I'm really glad all that is over!! Whew. Anyway, we are really starting to see the difference in Spice (female) and Swagger (male) as they grow up.

Swagger is becoming quite the dog! He's surpassing Spice in size more and more everyday. He's getting huge! His attention span and intelligence never cease to amaze me. He's very bright and very protective of us. He socializes with other people and dogs all the time, but is constantly cautious and aware of the things around him. We have to tell people to ignore him so he and sniff and "ok" the situation before they go right at him and try to pet him. He listens intently and wants nothing more than to please us. You can just see it in his eyes when you're training him. He more attentive than I ever thought a dog could be! Sometimes I swear he speaks English. He's a great dog to have with us and we're so proud to call him our own!

Little Spice is doing well also. Her personality couldn't be anymore different than Swaggers though. She is what I would call more of a Lab temperment. She has really latched on to me as her "buddy". She follows me everywhere I go in the house. Even if it's just to go from the couch to the kitchen for a drink! She's very happy and bright all the time and also wants to please us. She's intelligent, but just a little less attentive then Swagger although she does listen well (just easily distracted by butterflies, bunnies and such sometimes). Spice has excelled being around people and children. She loves EVERYONE and unlike Swagger is not cautious of new people or dogs at all! She's certainly the "Spice of our life" and her vigor for everything keeps us laughing 24/7. The contrast of personalities is great because we certainly get the best of both worlds from our dogs. We're having a blast raising both and learning so much from this experience. We frequently comment on how boring life would be without them. They're our best buddies out here in Enid, America (as the locals call it) and we wouldn't trade them for the world. Hope you all get to meet them someday!!
