For those of you who know me well, know that I LOVE DOGS!!!!!!!!! I really love them! Sometimes prefer them over people- but that is another story! This last week I was looking on the internet as I do from time to time to see the new lab puppies that are available in this world. Just another typical afternoon in the carpool line with my iphone! I find this cute, adorable yellow lab and email the picture to Todd. Ok, I am thinking that he will think "o, that is cute."- the end, right? WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Todd calls me and says,"Do you want him?" Keep in mind we already have two at home, a black, 5 year old female; a brown, 2 year old female and the decision on whether to add an 11 month old male to the mix! Of course the answer is NO, right? WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As we are driving down the road, Todd is texting the owner and they are making arrangements to get him on the flight that night from California to Georgia!! Needless to say - we are crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But of course, he will be loved and adored at our house! He is going to take some getting used to and he is full of energy! But he is sweet! So HERE'S BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buddy 11 months old
"The Crew"- Barkley, Daisy and Buddy
Today, (OK, actually yesterday) Addie Grace turned 5 months old! This last month has been a fun month exploring new things with her. You have started eating 3 meals of baby food a day! First reaction, not so favorable, but you have grown to love eating the fruits! Still trying to choke down the veggies! For breakfast, we mix oatmeal into either bannana, pear or applesauce baby food! For lunch, we serve a fruit and a veggie- you usually finish the fruit and about 1/2 of the veggie. Then for dinner, we serve the rest of the veggie and another fruit!!! You are still nursing and loving it! CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! You are taking a regular monring nap, a nap on the way to carpool, a great late afternoon nap and a cat nap in the evenings! We have seen two nights of sleeping through the night (no feedings) this week! I see the light at the end of the tunnel! You are so amazing and sweet that we would and will get up as often as needed :) You have started to play with toys- you love to put them all in your mouth! BUT the latest and greatest discovery for you is your toes!!! You love them!!!!! Teething has begun....you are constantly gnawing on anything you can get your hands on! That even includes all fingers that come near your mouth! You really love to chew on Sully!!You have the best little giggle! When you tickled- you will laugh from the tip of your toes to deep in your belly! Your face lights up with excitement and those hands start shaking!!! It is precious!!!
