From His Nine Month Photo Shoot

My new favorite picture

He's sucking in his belly, which is funny because I do that for pictures too.

70/30

When it comes to most creatures of the deep, I'm 70% freaked out and 30% fascinated, but in regards to sharks it is always 100% freaked. Needless to say, I didn't appreciate the close up of a Great White that appeared when I clicked "sign out" of my Hotmail account today.

D*** you, MSN.

Random Pictures

He loves it when we go out to eat, partly because of the new food bites he gets to try, but mostly because he loves checking out new places and people.

Happy Birthday Roobin!

Roobin turned two years old this weekend!

We had a family party for Roobin today. I made a bone-shaped cake for us, and Don BBQ'd a chicken breast for the guest of honor.

I was so happy he wore his party hat long enough for me to snap a few pictures.

Tony was also very good wearing his hat. He was fascinated by the candles.

My sweet pup is so grown up now. Here is the day we brought him home. He was cold and wet so we had him bundled in a towel for the car ride.

He's kind of a pest sometimes, and his vet bills are more than we bargained for, but we love him. He is such a good family dog; always gentle and loving to Tony, and he loves snuggling with Don or laying by my feet. He's the best!!

More Cousins!

Don's sister and her four children were up visiting from Utah last weekend, so Tony got to meet some of the cousins on that side of the family.

The kids had so much fun pushing Tony around in this big mixing bowl at Grandma's house. He spent most of the time there in that bowl, and he thought it was pretty neat.
