A Letter from the Dog

Dear Addison,

I am okay with the fact that you have officially renamed me. In fact, I think "Mo-Mo" is a cute nickname. I love to hear all of the toddlers in the neighborhood shout "Mo-Mo" at me every time they see me. I am also okay with the fact that you would like to play ball with me from time to time. And, I love the way you share your "leftovers" with me when you are finished eating. I would, however, like to discuss a few "other" things with you... 1 -- Dogs do not wear shoes. Not even cute little pink crocs. Please stop trying to put them on me. After all, you have a hard enough time putting them on yourself (especially on the right feet)!
2 -- I do not like to play dress up. Not your pjs, not your shirts, not your shorts, NADA!

3 -- Dogs do NOT like to talk on cell phones. Please stop pulling my ears and trying to make me talk on the phone.

4 -- I prefer to eat my food out of the bowl -- not off of the floor where you like to throw it. Also, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't put your dirty little hands (and most recently, your dirty little feet) in my water bowl. I understand that you find this terribly amusing, but I do not see the humor...
5 -- Although I have an eye for fashion, I do not like to wear your sunglasses. Please stop chasing me around the house with them.

6 -- I admit that I like to sleep. A LOT. But I do not need to be "plugged in" and "recharged." I will recharge on my own, little one. Save the chargers for the laptops and cell phones please! 7 -- Speaking of sleep, why don't you like to sleep very much anymore? 6 am is just a little too early, don't you think?

8 -- Wet noses are good when you are a dog. Please stop trying to wipe my nose with the tissues.
9 -- I do not enjoy it when you chase me around the house trying to "dry" me off with the kitchen towels. I am not a bull, but I might be forced to "charge" you if you continue to taunt me with the towels.
10-- Dogs. do. not. wear. hats!
I am thrilled (really, I am) that you love me so much, but please, for the sake of my sanity (or what's left of it), do not continue to "love" (torture) me on a daily basis. If the "love" continues, I am afraid I will be left no choice but to escape the next time the door opens!



Love (if you want to call it that),

"Momo"
Your favorite four legged friend

P.S. Did I mention that I really LOVE it when you share your leftovers with me?

Wordless Wednesday

(Yes, that would be the colander...)

Dairy Queen

What does this look like to you?

To me, it looks like the ice & water dispenser feature on our refrigerator. To Addison, I think it must resemble a cow in some way. When I walked in the kitchen tonight, she was standing there, holding up her cup and saying, "muh" (translation: milk). I couldn't resist the urge to laugh. I didn't have the heart to tell her that try as she might, she will never be able to squeeze any milk out of the fridge this way.She is truly our little "dairy queen." Milk is definitely at the top of her list of favorite things these days. She can go through a gallon of milk in 2 days flat.

Fun in the Sun!

We thought the sun would never come out (and stay out) again. After dodging storms all weekend, we were finally able to take Addison on her first official boat ride today. Addison is one busy little girl, and I felt like I was wrestling an alligator for the first part of the ride. Eventually, she relaxed and settled down enough to actually enjoy the ride.
I have said it before, and I will say it again... This little girl is all about the accessories! Yes, she really does love to wear her sunglasses! In fact, she gets very upset if you try to take them off!

After a short nap, we regrouped and headed down the street to the Grices for a Memorial Day cookout. A great time was had by all!

Aside from the weather, we had a great Memorial Day weekend, and we hope you did too!

Just Can't Get Enough

I just can't get enough of this super sweet (should have been sleeping) little girl! More often than not, this is what goes on just before bedtime around here.

Splish, Splash!

Spring is in the air, and Addison has found a new way to enjoy the warm afternoons! As you can see from the pictures below, she LOVES her new water table.

Snip, Snip

Addison had her first haircut yesterday. Her bangs were getting so long, and I decided it was time for a little trim. We were in Charleston so I took her to Bangs and Bows in Mt. Pleasant. She was such a good sport. Believe it or not, she sat really still while the stylist gave her bangs a little trim. Here are a few pictures from our day. She was a little concerned at first, but once she realized she was sitting in a special pink car, she was all smiles!
