Baby Brother!

Wow, its been a long time since my last entry about my 1st birthday in September.Let me fill you in on what's been going on...

The rest of September was pretty busy. Mom had to go to the hospital a few times and when she was home she wasn't allowed out of bed much. Dad was busy repainting the whole house at the time. On October 2nd mom and dad went to Nannie's house for dinner. They came home early and I was excited, but mom wasn't feeling very good so I didn't get to spend a lot of time with her. Early the next morning (October 3rd) mom woke me up super early and gave me a big hug. Then she put me into my crate which was a little confusing but she promised to be back soon. A little while later Nannie came to pick me up. She kept telling me I would be staying with her for a little while. That's not so bad, because Nannie has a never ending supply of treats that I don't have to do anything to get!

A couple of days later Mom and Dad came to pick me up, but they weren't alone. They were holding this little thing. I thought it was a dog but it sure didn't smell like a dog. Then I think it got hungry cuz it gave this long screech and I thought "oh no! A cat!". It wasn't a cat either. It was a little person. Mommy and Daddy explained to me that he was my little brother and that I had to take care of him like a good big brother.

Well, at first I didn't like this loud funny smelling thing. I tried to make Mommy and Daddy mad by doing things I knew were bad so they would take him back, but they didn't take him back. They didn't get mad at me either. They pretty much just kept loving me. Then one day I snuck up on the bed where Mommy was with my new little brother. Mommy let me lick his little feet. I love feet. Anyway, I got to thinking after that... maybe he's not that bad.

Well, its been almost three months. He's really not so bad after all. I like to lick him and sniff him... except when he's got one of those dirty diapers, then I stear clear. And Mommy and Daddy didn't forget about me. In fact now we all spend lots of time together and I'm so glad Mommy doesn't have to go to the hospital anymore! I was lonely at night without her.

Soon Mommy says the baby will sleep in his crib... well, she said crib, but I think its just like my crate. It has bars and its supposed to keep him safe, so it sounds like the same thing. Then maybe I'll be allowed to sleep with Mommy again! I hope she lets me keep my blanket though. Its a lot softer than hers.

Well, thanks for stopping by!! Mommy's making breakfast so I gotta run!!
