fun with mortimer and milo

dottie had a little fun with mortimer moose and her brother milo this morning....

dottie and isa

dottie and i went to go for a walk with tray and isa today and had a great time! we did a little photo shoot before the walk and the pictures are hilarious. isa is a little over a month older than dottie. it is just amazing to see the difference a month makes with how isa interacts. i am looking forward to all of dottie's new developments to come...

more smiling!

Another pic of Dottie smiling!  She is smiling several times a day right now and is still an angel.  We are so lucky!  Chuck is out of town right now on a snowboarding trip so this is the first time I am doing it completely on my own 24/7.  So far so good (though I have had friends over every night for some relief and good eats....lucky us).  We can't wait until he returns on Monday!!!
