Another month has passed and Baby P is now 4 months old! Can you believe it? And just like the past 3 months I was right by her side to document just how much she’s grown.
We’re super serious about our monthly photos….as you can see.
And because it’s the month of December, we totally had to take one making our “OMG Santa’s Coming!” faces!
Incase you missed the previous monthly sessions, be sure to check out Months 1 – 3 on my blog.
Raise your paw if you think Baby P is growing up way too fast! 
Just before Thanksgiving I went on a special adventure to visit Santa! Now I know what you’re thinking, visiting Santa before Thanksgiving? But hey….
…no lines! And when you have your little baby sister with you, no lines is a good thing!
That’s right, this was Baby P’s first time visiting with Santa. And you know I taught her well when the first thing she did was to tug on Santa’s beard to make sure it was real. You can never be too careful these days!
And if you’re thinking I let Baby P have all the fun, you would be mistaken. I NEVER pass up the opportunity to tell a jolly man in a red suit EXACTLY what I want for Christmas!
Next year Baby P and I need to work on our smiles. (It’s always hard to concentrate on picture taking when you’re trying to remember your Christmas wish list). We’ll get there.
It was fun to actually have a buddy to visit Santa with this year, after all, for the past 8 years I’ve been doing it solo. Santa is always more fun with friends!
Do your dogs get to visit Santa every year?
December has always been a whirlwind for me. Mostly because mom and I are always super busy at the shop fulfilling all the Christmas orders. You might even say I’m an elf during the month of December! But even though I spent some extra time working, I still managed to fit in some fun adventures too.

Last week I was busy working away on a secret project for the Holidays. I made Christmas Cards! Yay!
Mom fashioned a beard for me out of some cotton and a string and I happily posed for portraits in a cheerful little Santa hat we got at the dollar store last year.
Picture taking always proves to be the easy part, it’s coming up with the inside greetings that takes a little more effort.
But this year I came up with my very own version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas….
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And left tiny paw prints all covered in soot.
The beard of his chin was white as the snow,
His twinkling eyes gave off a warm glow.He spoke not a word, but gave out a sigh,
As he gobbled the milk & cookies in the blink of an eye.He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
“I like peanut butter cookies, next time get it right!”
