I think I'll pick some flowers for Mom.



Wait, do you think she'll care if I pick the only Crocus in the whole entire yard?
Naahhhh, she won't care!

Uh-oh! I missed some, better get the rest.

Now I'll add a daffodil for a touch of color!


And I think I'll add this leaf to the arrangement!


I think she's going to love her flowers!

We picked out the newest member of our family today! We get to take him home next weekend. We're not 100% positive of the name yet, so help me out by taking the poll on the right!

Daddy, is this the one?


Oh good! I like him the best!


I can tell that we are going to be best buddies!


He liked the blanket that Mom brought for him. She wanted the blanket to pick up the scent of his litter mates so he has something familiar to sleep with when he comes to live with us. (He's the puppy on the right.)


Even when his brother grew bored of the blanket, our little guy stayed interested in it! (He's the puppy on the left.)


He must have thought that my puppy shoe was one of his brothers because he sure liked playing with it!


We both like to pull on Dad's ear, but the puppy uses his teeth instead of hands!


You can tell Mom was smitten with the dog. Notice how the puppy is toward the middle of the picture but Dad's head is cut off! Priorities Mama!


The puppy and I were both starting to get tired at this point. Neither of us could muster up the energy to smile for the camera!

This is our puppy's mama. She is a sweet dog. Very affectionate, eager to please and sociable.

This is the farm that the puppies were born on.

I am working so hard at learning to crawl.

Sometimes I get a little frustrated.

I've just got to get my arms and legs working together and then I'll have it!

What a big day I had today! First I visited my doctor this morning. I gained a pound and a half while Mom and I were in Texas! I'm now 21.6 pounds. After the doctor, I went out to a farm with Mom and Dad. I saw horses and puppies! I LOVED the puppies. I squealed with delight and started flapping my arms up and down when I saw the puppies. I'm already an animal lover just like Mom and Dad!

Dad wanted a hunting partner so we were going to get a female Golden Retriever puppy from a breeder in mid-July, but the mama dog didn't end up getting pregnant. So Dad found a new breeder instead. Now we are getting a puppy in two weeks! We are going back this weekend to pick out which puppy we want. AND, guess what....we're getting a boy puppy instead of a girl puppy! Mom and Zowie will still be out numbered as the boys have Joe, Max, Dad, the new puppy and me!

Mom and Dad didn't bring the camera, so Dad had to take this picture with his cell phone - not the best quality. I'll put up more photos once I pick out my puppy this weekend.

Mom and I went to Texas last week. Grandma Karen drove down there with us. I had a lot of fun meeting my Great Grandma Annie, and cousins Averey, Skyelar, and Audrey! It was so nice to see Aunt Maralyn and Aunt Tania again.

I had my 6 month doctor's check up today. He said I'm doing great. I weigh a little over 20 pounds (90th percentile) and I am a about 28 inches long (90th percentile). My head is in the 75th percentile.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Boy, that sure looks like a lot of candles....


Look at all the smoke as Daddy tries to blow the candles out!



The first attempt failed, try again Daddy!


Hmmmm....will using your fingers work?



Nope!

That's a good idea Daddy, put them in the glass of water!
Daddy thought the trick candles were pretty funny. It's hard to get a smile like that during his busy work season!

Mom, Dad and I drove to Vicksburg, MI this weekend to see my Great Grandma Smith. I had lots of fun meeting all my relatives!

This is my Great, Great Aunt Lavon (Great Grandma Smith's sister). She is so much fun!
This is my Great Uncle Ron (Grandpa Steve's brother). He just bought 46 acres of land in Michigan that looks like a jungle!

Here's the whole gang. Cousin Chris (Grandpa Steve's cousin), Chris' husband Lee, Mom, Aunt Lavon, Grandpa Steve, Aunt Lupe (Uncle Ron's wife), and Uncle Ron. Grandma Karen babysat me so that Mom and Dad could go out to dinner with everyone. Thanks Grandma!
