Mail from the President and a visit from Granddaddy and Grandmommy

Today I woke up a little after 6am. That is early for me now and really early for Mommy. So she brought me back to bed with her. We woke up again around 8am to Osiris scratching. I haven't woken up in the same bed as a doggy before.

Mommy and I were doing our regular thing and working out when Mommy called her parents. They talked and they decided to come for a visit. Yay!

When they got here I was all smiles! Granddaddy held me first. Then he put me down on my "runway" so I could show him my skills. Then Grandmommy played with me and put the monkey around my head. She thought that was so funny. Well, I thought it was funny when I held Grandma's finger and bit her with my new tooth. Granddaddy and I went for a walk down to the mailbox to get the mail and I actually held a piece of mail all by myself. I chewed on it of course. When we got inside I gave the piece of mail to Mommy and wouldn't you know it, it was for ME! It was my very first piece of mail and it was from the White House. Shortly after I was born, Mommy wrote the White House telling them that I was born and they wrote back to congratulate me. It is even signed by President and First Lady Obama.

I spent a lot of time with Granddaddy and Grandmommy. They are so easy. They think everything I do is cute. The four of us packed up the van and ran to the dump, then the library, the bank, and then to the Chinese restaurant, and then came back home. Once we got home it was time to eat so Mommy fed me the rest of my squash. I killed the rest of it. Grandmommy was impressed with how I kept opening my mouth for more. After I finished eating Mommy got me cleaned up and tried to put me down for a nap but I would have none of it. Daddy got home and gave me some lovin'. Then as all four watched me, I got down on the floor and got up on all fours and for the first time slid my hand forward with out falling. It was a small step but I am starting to understand how I am going to get forward. I have just got to keep working on it.

It was so great to see Granddaddy and Grandmommy. Mommy said that we will just have to turn this into a weekly thing and next week we will come to see them. But it was time for them to go home. But don't worry, Granddaddy, don't be sad, we will see each other again soon.

Once they left, I crashed. I napped for about an hour. Then I just giggled and played and giggled some more until about 8:30 when I finally crashed for the night. Today was a good day.
