And now he’s a big boy of 1 year! Eating his birthday cake and enjoying it too.

Happy birthday, lovie!

Fast forward to today. Look what my Mom sent me:

Yep. Crocs. But cute ones in pretty pretty pink. Cuz I’m a girly girl at heart. Thanks, Mom!

The boys already love her. They climb all over her and she licks them and moves out of the way. No signs of aggression or fear. We do watch carefully while they play so that no one gets hurt.

I guess I’ll put up with her. She keeps my feet warm at the very least.
