More christmas fun

Helping Mom put up the tree.

Mom loves to dress me up. Santa better give me good treats for this. Time for another photo shoot. I wanted to eat the snowflakes.

MMM tastes like chicken :)

What's a Santa?

Mom took me to the pet store to visit someone special.

She said Santa brings treats to good puppies. He smelled really good.

I wanted to chew his beard.

Mrs Claus was there too. I liked her a lot.

I haven't been on the naughty list, have I?

AIDS Quilt

Today I had a special trip. I got to see a big blanket with peoples' names on it.

They are all over the rainbow bridge. I want to snuggle on it but

Mom says it's only for looking at. Grandma and Ms Kathryn helped these people before they went to the bridge.

I think that is VERY special!

My 7 Month Birthday

Today I am 7 months and 44.6 pounds. Aussie is only 50.

I am already a little taller than her. We like to play all day.

Mom says it sounds like a herd of Buffalo.Today was also a special day. I went for a fancy walk called a "Santa Scamper".

Everyone got in a line and when some said GO we all ran. It was fun. There was a parade with bands and floats, people on bicycles and even some bag pipers. I got to watch for a whileThere were big balloons. I was scared for a minute but then thought NO big deal!Now that I am becoming a big girl I have to remember my manners all the time.

That is tough to do!

the photos

Ellen does such a great job capturing my cuteness!

Stay tuned. More adventures to come!

Long drive to Grandpa's

Here I am at Grandpa's house. It's pretty nice. Lots of green grass and hills. They even have sticks and flags coming out of holes in the ground. Mom says I can't play with that.

There are beaches with sand and light houses up here. It is really windy! I want to chase the leaves.Mom says this is grandma's favorite place. I can see why.

Grass to hide in.

Sand to run on and a big pool!

chasing my stick.

got it!

Look. I'm a pointer. Bird?

Then we went to a place that has cows AND ice cream.

Vanilla cone please?

Playtime

I went to Olive's house to play.

My belly is feeling better. I still have to take it easy.

HARD to do. I want to run!

I like this hula hoop thing.No one else felt the same way.
