Your first piece of...

...artwork. You had so much fun finger painting, you were squealing & made quite the mess it was so much fun! Since it was the first I had to frame it so we could see it every day. I know there will be many more, but the first is always special. I want you to always be proud of who you are & never be afraid to express yourself. Xo

Outdoor fun...

...with you & the puppies this weekend. It was so beautiful we just hung out & enjoyed the time together. You also did some great things this weekend...started crawling for real not just scooting & rolling, fed yourself food with your hands (you use the spoon with ease) & went swinging on the playground for the first time & loved it! You also ate organic raisins, eggplant with red peppers & pasta with zucchini & basil & pears with cinnamon, yum : ) we went hiking with the puppies, played at the park in the grass & rolled around with your toys in the garden. Great weekend with my little sweet pea! & happy earth day, you made sure to hug a tree xo

My little sweetheart...

...is 9 months old! & you get more precious with each day. We went to the dr. Yesterday for your checkup & you did great, you are 90th % for everything, so you will be tall like us & most importantly we are so thankful for how healthy you are : ) you are doing so many new things I don't even know where to start...you are cruising around the sofa & ottoman, rolling, scooting & hopping on your hands & knees it's so cute. You are babbling a lot & love talking to us, the puppies & your toys. You clap your hands & feet together, as well as your toys. You love your drum set & anything that you can fit in your mouth. You love your food, do very well with the spoon & enjoy picking it up & squishing your food around. You smile & laugh so much, you are a happy girl. When we hide your toys under a blanket you know where to find them. You love the outdoors, playing in the grass & watching everything. We took your pics in the bluebonnets & you did so well. You have so much fun playing with dad, he really loves you. You do such a good job when we go out to eat, you want to be a part of everything. we went out to eat for grampy's 94th bday & uncle jim was in town from boston, it was a treat. Life is complete with you. Xo

New projects...

...in the works. Just started on a new piece of art for the living room, will end up being mostly white, with underlying color & a few words to live by. The second is a new idea that I've been wanting to start for awhile, but have been too busy with rescue in my spare time, so I feel it's time to shift the focus...I've always made things for others, but now I'm ready to start selling those cute things. You are my inspiration M. Xo

Our weekend...

...was so nice & consisted of planting flowers, making a fabric banner for auntie Jackie for her wedding, going on long walks with the puppies, getting started on finding items for the projects i will be making for your birthday thats in a few months & shopping & lunch at north park. Love the time we get to spend together. Xo

You are very...

...protected. The boys are always aware of what's going on around you & are quick to react if they feel uneasy. Even if you are playing in your room, luigi lays next to you & Angelo sits in the doorway. If you are in the living room, one is next to you & the other on the sofa looking out the window. We were playing outside yesterday & I got a great shot of them in protection mode, they always balance each other to make sure you are safe from all sides. They are amazing dogs & your wonderful fur brothers. They love you too xo
