Puppy

Tonight while cleaning out the garage for an upcoming yard sale, J woke up. I grabbed him and headed back into the mess that is our garage. A puppy started barking from our neighbors and J started saying "puppy" over and over. It was his first time to say puppy. I couldn't believe he could say the word so clearly or so appropriately. He is growing by leaps and bounds everyday. I just want to bottle him at this age. I am trying to live in the moment and appreciate each moment, especially after being so removed from family during my headache episodes lately. Another funny moment was when I went to grab him to put a coat on him and he ran squealing from me, thinking I was going to bring him back inside, like usual. I managed to grab him and get him suited and shoe-ed up for the chilly weather we have right now with help from Daddy Piper :-)
