Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day (Late)!

Daddy's birthday was last Friday and we celebrated by going out to eat at a Japanese restaurant. Then mom took me to coldstone to get some ice cream! Yum Yum, I love ice cream. Check me out eating my first ice cream cone:






I also want to say Happy Father's Day to the best daddy in the world:


Also, happy Father's Day to Poppy, Gramps, Pawpaw Bill, and Grandfather Joe! I love and miss all of you!

Visit from Mimi and Poppy

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted - mommy, daddy, and me were all sick last week with a cold. We had a very busy week this week though becuase Mimi and Poppy came to visit me! It was fun! Luna loved them and will be sad that they are gone. We ate lots of good food and mostly just played around. It was so goo to see them and I will miss them very much. I can't wait till we get to move back to Arkansas (eventually) and see them all the time. Here are some pictures from this week and a few from last week:


Awesome rainbow from last week right outside our house


Mommy was cleaning in the bedrooms and I was watching TV. When she came back out I was passed out asleep!


Mommy got me a new baby stroller and I love it. I wouldn't stop moving so it was hard to get a picture...



At the park with Mimi and Poppy:

She has a name

Since the puppy has been home, that has been the main focus in our house. Mommy has to make sure she goes to the bathroom outside and make sure she doesn't chew everything up! So far we've only had a couple of accidents and all is going well with the puppy. We did finally come up with a name for her - Luna. She is a very sweet, cuddly puppy. I'm starting to like her. I think it is funny when she plays and sometimes I even pet her a little bit. There have been no major incidences with the cat so far and they seem to be mostly tolerating each other. I think Ajax is jealous of all the time mommy is spending with Luna right now though.



My new favorite way to play with my toys - getting in the toy boxes!





Friday night we went to a birthday party for one of Daddy's coworker's (Rose) son, Chris. His birthday is the same day as mommys! They had the party at a place called Peter Piper Pizza - sorta like chuckie cheese but with better pizza. It was fun! I ate an entire slice of cheese pizza (see the video below) and watched mommy and daddy play games. I liked riding on the motorcycle ride too!

Daddy has gone crazy...

Mommy wants you all to know that this was not her idea - she did not ask, beg, or even suggest that this happen. It was all Daddy's idea and he took the intial steps to get the process started. What I am talking about? For Mommy's birthday, Daddy let her get a doggie! Yep, a real live doggie. And not just any doggie - a puppy. Mommy probably would have gone for an adult dog, but daddy wanted a puppy. So after much discussion and two trips to the animal shelter last weekend, our little puppy came home today. She doesn't quite have a name yet, but hopefully soon. We'll keep you updated. She is 4 months old and is very cute! I think Mommy must be a little crazy to try to housebreak a puppy, chase me around, and keep the cat from attacking! But its too late now, puppy is already home! So far all is going well, the puppy seems to like Nora and is afraid of the cat. Ajax has not had much reaction at all so far, but the puppy barks and bristles up whenever he sees the cat - this could get interesting...

My new puppy

Don't worry he's not real! Mommy got me this cool pull toy recently. I like to run around the house with him. Isn't he cute?




Also I added some new links on the side - my favorite websites and our to do list. Any other suggestions for our list?

Who would have guessed...

that I would like fish sticks? As some of you know, I am a picky eater. I like bananas, yogurt, peanut butter, and pasta and a few other things. I used to eat sweet potatoes, but now I don't even want them. So when we went to Walmart this week, Mom got us some chicken Mcnuggets to eat while we were shopping (it was right before lunch time) and I actually ate some. Mom decided to buy some fish sticks to try as well and sure enough I ate them for dinner tonight (but still did not touch my sweet potatoes or applesauce that was also served). Mom is going to try to make me some sweet potato fries tomorrow to see if I will eat those (I have had them one other time). Mommy says she welcomes any suggestions on what else to try and feed me! Here is a picture of me enjoying my fish sticks:



I am also obsessed with shoes right now! I talk about them all the time and bring them to mommy and daddy to put one me. I love to try to wear mommy and daddy's shoes too. Here I am walking around in one of mommy's shoes:

Walking at Sunset

Mommy, Daddy, and I have been going on walks in the evenings lately. I enjoy them for the most part, but they don't last very long because I get too wiggly. Mommy took these first two pictures last night on our walk.


Daddy and Nora


The cactus is blooming!

This picture is of me playing with the hot pads in the kitchen. I love to empty out that drawer. I just discovered that you could put your hands in the holders! What fun!! Mommy says to please ignore anything dirty that you see...
