Wordless Wednesday: 4th of July

My Baby is Walking!

Baby C started walking all on her own today! She took off across the room, and kept going and going. Once she got to a wall, she turned and started the other way. When she realized she could do this, she hasn't stopped! The only thing that got her to stop was her lunch being ready! She even learned how to stand herself up all on her own.

The first video is of Baby C learning how to stand up on her own.

Happy 4th of July

How will you be spending your Fourth of July? We are starting out the day eating our blue pancakes on our red plates while drinking our white milk and wearing our patriotic red, white, and blue colors.

Since it is overcast here and a little rainy, we will probably spend the day playing indoors and trying to train our new puppy that outside is the only place to use the restroom, unless he can manage the toilet!

Happy 4th all! If you get a chance, thank a veteran or member of the military for protecting our freedom that we are celebrating today!

And the Surprise is....

This morning at 11:30, Big C and Baby C got a surprise....here was Big C's face thinking about what his surprise could be.

The surprise is a new puppy!!!! Big C loved our new puppy straight away. He automatically felt a sense of responsibility, a need to protect him, and care for him.

Our new puppy, Ace, is a golden retriever and yellow Labrador mix. He is 5 weeks old and as sweet as can be! Ace is a result of a male dog jumping the fence of a neighbor and well....Ace was made! The owners just wanted the dogs to go to a good home instead of having to send them to an animal shelter. We were happy to take one of eight puppies off of their hands!

He has been doing this a lot.....

Ace is so small! I couldn't believe how little he was! I had to take a picture of Ace next to a coffee mug just to document how tiny he is at 5 weeks.

The good news continues...Sampson likes him as well! He is treating Ace very similar to how he treated Big C and Baby C when they first came home. He needs to know where Ace is and keeps an eye on him, but doesn't do too much interacting with him.

However, this little boy has not left Ace's side! He plays with him, makes sure has food and water, pets him, and shows this little puppy so much love and devotion. It makes my heart melt with pride and love!

If you noticed, Baby C is not in any of the pictures. She was the exact opposite of Big C...wanted nothing to do with him. The Diva proves herself once again!
