The Week in Review

Maddie has been learning to scrooch and crawl. She spends half her time stumbling around the floor and the other half in her activity seat. She kind of does an army crawl and stretch maneuver to get to her toys.

Grandpa Chopper is trying to give her a crawling lesson in this shot.

Maddie is starting to eat baby food. What a trip! Here she tastes apple sauce for the first time. She managed to get quite a bit of it down but there was definitely some on her, on the chair and splattered on me.

Lenny turned 10 this week. He had a spa day on Thursday with a hydro bath, nail trimmings, ears cleaned and a new squeak toy. We decided to celebrate on Saturday and have some family over... so we started his day with pancakes & eggs. He might have preferred some bacon... but Tom ate it all. He had grilled chicken, cheesy sausage, meatballs and macaroni for dinner. I even found a recipe for a puggie friendly cake (flour, baking soda, vanilla, egg, honey, peanut butter, carrots). He & Zoey both loved it but I think it tasted terrible. Safe for humans, but I don't recommend it. Now the 2 of them will have an entire cake to eat over the next week.

We love Lenny so much. He really is one of our family and we are so grateful to have him in our lives. He's had some health issues over the last year or so, but he is our beautiful boy and we'd do anything for him and pray that he stays healthy. Happy birthday buddy!
Devouring the cake!
