Out and About

Now that the warm weather has arrived, Daddy keeps taking me outside. He makes me practice my walking on the uneven ground. I'm gaining more confidence all the time. I love my Daddy soooo much!
One of my favorite things to do outside is play with the dogs on the property. This is Max. He was a such a sweet, gentle dog. I was sad when I learned he had cancer and in a lot of pain. He was put to sleep and is buried behind my house. Now there's a new dog on the property --- -she's black and her name is Risa, which means laughter in Spanish. She's a little more hyper than Max, but hopefully we'll become friends.


Here's Max and me again. I sure do miss him.

Dad also lets me climb up the wooden stairs outside our house. I learned to climb steps when I was in Georgia. Since we don't have any stairs INSIDE our house, I have to practice outside. It's one of my favorite past-times! I cry when Daddy picks me up and takes me inside. I just want to keep climbing!

There is also a toddler swing on our property. Daddy put me in it and I found out I liked it!

I also was brave and went down the slide. It's steep, so Daddy had to help me. But, I trusted him and he always caught me!

All the outdoor activies wear me out. Daddy snapped this picture. I was jumping happily, making all kinds of happy noises. Daddy realized that I was suddenly silent and when he looked at me, I was sound asleep in my swing. He thought I was adorable, so he snapped the picture, then took me to my bed so I could sleep in a more comfortable position. Phew. What a long day! I can't wait til the next time I get to experience the beautiful outdoors! Come join me sometime!
