Approximately when I visited Texas (President's Day Weekend,) we noticed that Olivia was chewing on everything she could get her hands on. Since then, three of Olivia's teeth have grown in. She's definitely teething, putting everything she can get her hands on into her mouth.
Which leads me to today's contemplation, what's easier -- puppies or babies?
Teething -- Our baby hasn't yet destroyed any of my shoes or furniture. Score one for children.
Housetraining -- A puppy can be housetrained within a few months. On the other hand, babies can take upwards of 2 years to be housetrained.
Home Alone -- Since those visits from Child Protective Services are quite time consuming, score another one for puppies.
Conception and gestation -- Although Spencer rather enjoyed the conception part, gestation was not a walk in the park. Puppies 3, Children 1
Someone to provide company and affection when I enter my elder years -- Puppies 4, Children 1

That sit and stay stuff gets a little old after awhile.
And I'm sure there's a few more points in there for kids somewhere. Let me think about it and I'll get back to you.
CHORES! Can't make a puppy empty the DW now can you. And the puppy version of taking out the trash involves strewing it around the room and eating and then barfing up some of the choicer pieces!

and when you are on an airplane, nobody looks at you funny when you say "I think I will just store my puppy under the seat for the duration of this trip. He should be fine, because I drugged him a few minutes ago." Not looking good for Olivia:
